🦞 Meet Your Lobster Fisherman: Adrian Stimson

Meet Adrian Stimson
Captain of the F/V Mysteri

And the fisherman bringing the beloved California Spiny Lobster, or "Spinies," to your table this Thanksgiving. Adrian fishes among the Channel Islands for this rare delicacy you won't find at most supermarkets or restaurants. While the majority of Spiny Lobsters are exported overseas, we work hard to help Adrian in his goal to keep this product domestic and as close to home as possible.

Support small scale domestic fishermen like Adrian this Thanksgiving and learn how to cook this sweet treat below (hint: it's a lot easier than it looks!) Spiny Lobsters are trap caught or hand caught by divers, making the U.S. spiny lobster fishery a best choice if you are eager to support local and sustainable seafood.

Order yours today to be delivered for a special, sustainable, and memorable Thanksgiving. You'll also find Pasture-raised Turkeys, Oysters, Wild Caught Shrimp and more!

How to cook + enjoy California Spiny Lobster

Spiny lobsters are prized for their sweet, buttery tail meat, which accounts for a third of their total weight. Lobsters will be delivered to you lightly steamed. They are extremely versatile and can be used in just about every way a New England lobster can. Cut the shell open or "butterfly" the lobster or tails before cooking for the best presentation and to maximize flavorings.

Here are a few of our favorite ways to enjoy this special treat:

Broil the tails with melted butter and lemon wedges. Sprinkle paprika for a little extra depth.
Bake or Roast with white wine, garlic and herbs
Grill with herbed oil, served as a half of a whole lobster
Braised in an Italian garlic, tomato, wine "crazy water"
Pick the meat for Lobster Rolls, Fritters or omelettes

Just remember to skip the step of boiling in these linked recipes, as we've already done this step for you!

Lobsters are caught to order and steamed just before shipping. Lobsters will range between 1-2lbs and you can expect a 30-35% yield of tail meat. Picked meat or whole lobsters can also be frozen if you'd like them for a future meal.

If you have any additional questions, don't hesitate to contact us.
