Spiny Lobster (LIVE)

Spiny lobsters aren’t just delicious; they’re a model of sustainability with a rich history as food in California, both in ancient times and today. For millennia, they have been a valued food source for coastal Indigenous peoples, later becoming a staple of California’s modern restaurant scene. In short, the California spiny lobster on our menu is more than just seafood—it’s a story of a resilient species, a world-class sustainable fishery, and a tradition that connects us to the very first Californians. We are proud to offer you this CA heritage seafood and support the fishermen who source it for us. Tasting notes: Slightly nutty with a subtle sweetness and mild brine that reflects its Pacific habitat. Many describe it as sitting somewhere between lobster and large prawns—sweeter and more delicate than shrimp, but leaner, firmer and less intense than Maine lobster. Where are they caught?
