Lobster

Clawed, spiny and other specified lobster products, with species, live or frozen form and packing agreed.

Lobster buying spans different species and forms, including clawed lobsters, spiny or rock lobsters and particular related commercial types. Live whole animals, raw frozen tails and prepared meat are not interchangeable quotations. Buyers should identify the scientific species, form, size and intended use before assessing a source. Duara Group reviews those requirements with packing, traceability and destination. The country directory records production of the specified lobster family, not a guaranteed live-shipping route, processing facility or quantity available for purchase.

Lobster buying guide

Clawed, spiny and related types

Specify the species and commercial type rather than using lobster as a universal description. Clawed and spiny lobsters differ in presentation and the parts a buyer may require. Slipper lobster or another named product should be declared explicitly, while freshwater crayfish and unrelated squat-lobster products should not be substituted without approval. The scientific identity should connect the quotation, label, sample and traceability documents. A product illustration is not proof of the species, origin or condition of a commercial lot.

Whole animals, tails and meat

Agree whether the purchase is for whole animals, tails, shell-on portions or extracted meat. Define the weight or size basis, raw or cooked status, trimming and defect tolerances. A whole-animal weight does not establish a fixed tail or meat yield. For frozen product, define the net-weight and glazing basis and the permitted presentation of broken or damaged parts. Samples should be assessed in the buyer's actual preparation, especially where a change in species or form is proposed.

Live supply requires a separate plan

A live-lobster request needs assessment of the actual species, specialist packing and transport method, route and receiving facilities. It should not be treated as a routine frozen-food shipment. Agree responsibilities for handling records, arrival assessment and any conditions relevant to the proposed route. No live-shipping performance or survival guarantee is published here. A country reporting lobster capture is not proof that a particular live consignment can be exported, transported and received successfully through Duara.

Frozen and prepared food requirements

For raw frozen or cooked product, establish processor identity, lot coding, ingredient or treatment declarations and the food-safety evidence relevant to the intended use. Hospitality buyers should define the portion, appearance and preparation result required for their menu. Prepared meat and whole frozen animals have different acceptance checks and packing needs. Claims about grade, sustainability or certification must be verified for the actual product and operator; none follows automatically from a species name or a national production statistic.

Packing, storage and receiving checks

Specify inner packs, master cases, net contents, labels and pallet requirements for the form ordered. Review the product-specific cold chain, transfers, unloading and receiving storage. A shelf-life statement must relate to the actual processing and packaging, with evidence appropriate to the lot. Agree how damage, temperature excursions and differences in declared size or weight will be documented. Live and frozen receiving criteria must remain separate so one form's inspection process is not incorrectly applied to another.

Information for a lobster quotation

Send species, commercial type, live/raw/cooked status, whole/tail/meat form, size, quality limits, packing, quantity and destination. Identify intended use, receiving facilities and any requested traceability, inspection or certification documents. State whether alternatives may be considered and who approves them. Duara assesses the proposed source and route before confirming a transaction. Statistical capture is assigned to a reporting flag and does not by itself identify the catch waters, the processor or an origin available for the buyer's required form.

Documented Production by Country

FAO Lobsters, spiny-rock lobsters group; excludes squat-lobsters and freshwater crayfish. Capture is attributed to the fishing flag, not necessarily the waters fished, landing, processing or shipment country. Aquaculture is identified separately. Quantities are live-weight subtotals from official or estimated records, not fillet, canned or export volumes. Other flags are withheld, so these are not asserted national totals.

These are dated production or manufacturing records, not a list of Duara suppliers or confirmed delivery destinations. The directory covers the evidence verified so far; it does not claim an exhaustive list of all producing countries.

Frequently asked questions

Are clawed and spiny lobsters the same buying specification?

No. Specify the species and type, the required parts and the size basis. A similar common name does not make their presentation or usable yield equivalent.

Can whole-animal weight establish tail yield?

No fixed yield is assumed. Agree the actual form and net-weight basis, and evaluate samples or processing information relevant to the product offered.

Does a producing country guarantee live delivery?

No. Live supply requires specialist route, packing, handling and receiving assessment. The country directory is not a live-shipping or availability guarantee.

What should a frozen-tail order state?

Identify species, raw or cooked status, size, condition, net and glaze basis, packing, traceability and the destination handling requirements. Confirm the actual lot before commercial terms are agreed.
