This Warm Water Lobster it is harvested in the bright blue waters of the Western Central Atlantic Ocean – Brazil. The taste and texture of the Caribbean lobster tail is more mild and less rich than the North Atlantic (Maine) Lobster Tail, and it just comes down to preference as to which species is better. When cooked perfectly, the Caribbean Tail is light, slightly sweet, and subtle. You can almost taste the fresh Caribbean Sea air in this lobster, and its taste, when combined with beans and rice, can be highly nostalgic if you’ve ever spent time in this part of the world.
