Prince Edward Island Lobster Lobster is the crown jewel of the Prince Edward Island seafood industry. Wild-caught in the pristine North Atlantic Ocean, Prince Edward Island lobster is known for hard shells and tender juicy meat.

Sustainability and quality are the key pillars of the Prince Edward Island lobster industry. Harvesters take great measures to ensure that the resource is managed responsibly and take great care to ensure the best possible product for consumers around the world.

The Prince Edward Island lobster catch is divided into two categories, canners or markets, depending upon size. The smaller sized lobsters known as canners are preferred by true connoisseurs for their tender and flavourful characteristics. Approximately 60% of Prince Edward Island lobsters fall into this category.

Prince Edward Island has two lobster seasons, spring and fall. The spring season runs from May to the end of June and the fall season runs from mid-August to mid-October. Prince Edward Island accounts for almost 20% of Canadian lobster production.

Prince Edward Island lobster is healthy, delicious and a sustainable food choice.

How to Eat a Lobster

Step 1Twist off the claws from the lobster body. Twist open the sections behind the claw at the joints and use a seafood fork or lobster pick to remove this sweet meat.

Step 2Crack each claw with a nut cracker or knife. If you bend off the moveable part of the claw, the meat can be removed more easily.

Step 3Twist tail piece to remove from body.

Step 4Squeeze the sides of lobster tail together until the shell cracks lengthwise or use a knife to crack the underside section of the shell.

15

Step 5Turn over the lobster tail and break open the shell to remove meat.

Step 6Bend back and break the flippers off the tail piece; there are bits of meat inside each flipper.

Step 7Separate the back from the body. In this area is the tomalley (green substance), and female lobsters may contain roe which is like a red caviar. Both are edible. Break open the bottom section of body where there is good meat.

Step 8Twist the legs from the body and enjoy the sweet meat inside. The meat can be sucked out like sipping through a straw.
