Shovel Nosed Lobster

This crustacean has a pre-historical appearance. It is known by the English with the name “Sleeping Lobster”. In reality, it spends much time hanging in cracks, inside of rocky coast caves that surround the Azores Islands. Being a slow growth species, target of excessive capture in some areas of the globe, its extraction is subjected to a defence period from May to August. After this period, we will get for you this Azores sea treasure and deliver it directly to your door.
