10 lb Box of Frozen Lobster Tails at Costco

10 pound boxes of frozen lobster tails at Costco are now in-store for Thanksgiving! These are “Rock Lobster” which is also called spiny lobster and they are warm water lobsters. Warm water lobsters are smaller than a maine lobster (or cold water lobster), do not have that buttery sweet flavor of a Maine Lobster, and do not have claws. They are caught in Mexico, the Caribbean, and other warm waters.
ProTip: Check the boxes carefully before you buy, and make sure you are getting the kind of lobster you think you are. Both are good but have different price points, and many may only be looking for cold water lobster. I saw cooked cold water lobsters sold defrosted in the meat and seafood department!
