Tropical rock lobsters, or pearl lobsters, as they're better known, are one of the rarest and most expensive lobster varieties. The colorful crustaceans are so valuable that there have been international smuggling attempts of its larvae. Commercially bred pearl lobsters sell for about $50 per kilogram, while wild-caught pearl lobsters sell for $99 per kilogram. This makes pearl lobsters more than six times as expensive as Maine lobsters.
So, what makes pearl lobsters so special? And why are they so expensive?

The reason why it’s so expensive is the same reason why most things are “so expensive” you just have to say “this is special lobster and only special people can eat it.” And the customer says “I’m a special person. Here’s my wallet.”

I've hand caught plenty of wild lobster in both examples and can say it's likely the marketing of the tropicals that has garnered the popularity. I've never been able to taste the difference between them. A healthy lobster will always taste the best. They are beautiful, prehistoric looking creatures.

@nahor88 Год назад

Our sight heavily impacts how we taste things. The spiny lobsters are more attractive than the Maine ones, so we think it must be "sweeter" or "more savory". It'd be interesting to do a blind taste test with regular people and see if they notice a difference. All said, King/snow crabs are definitively better than any lobster. I can get a couple lobster tails for about $10 at the right time of year, but crab legs are always heavy on the wallet, and deservedly so. They're literally seafood candy.

They all definitely have a different flavour and texture. It can also vary wildly between the individual lobster itself depending on where it is in its moulting stage and it’s reproductive cycle. These ornate lobsters are the worst tasting but they are just the most impressive to look at on the table which is why they are so expensive. If your ever in Australia try a southern rock lobster, they are the best eating and are the closest to crab

@alienandro Год назад

its actually the best as a healthy lobster but its actually different, like when you eat fish ex like tuna, tuna have different type, the one is more like moist and the other one is more dry meat. the lobster is the same too and actually any other meat that you eat is different from other meat that people eat in different country like australlian beef, wagyu beef(japanese beef), and others

@JosephTurcotte117 Год назад

Sounds like the standards are both ensuring supply and keeping the prices high, which is a balance. The supply can't become too high, or the price drops, which the rules help, but they must keep interest over long periods, so they raise the lobsters as well.

@Superintendent_ChaImers Год назад

@@Gunsforbuns Even if the stuff is being farmed. It's still not immoral with the prices charged. Farmed livestock of any kind, seafood or land based. You need to pay your workers their wages, you need to pay for the energy required to maintain the livestock, plus their food and the equipment. Then comes needing to pay your property taxes, maintainence. And to top it off. When you do finally harvest, you need to pay for the trucks and fuel to ship them out and insure that they do not die. Specially lobster and other shellfish as one dead lobster or crab that sits for too long can ruin the entire batch.

@NightmareCourtPictures Год назад

@@Superintendent_ChaImers think u missed the point made by guns. It's immoral because all that's being thought about, like in this comment, is money, rather than respecting the balance that nature has procured over thousands or millions of years. Little is cared for about the free-will of the lobsters themselves, or what impact it has on the ecosystem as we meddle around, farming them on a mass scale. The other point being made is that this immorality is just the cost of what it means being human (called the banality of evil), and that we in some sense have to do this commodified mass market slaughter of species in order to be privileged to be alive ourselves...nobody is exempt from that evil...that if you live in a 1st world country and shop at a grocery market, you are participating in that mass market slaughter to some causally disconnected degree. Humans know this but we simply ignore it because if we thought about just how terrible it is...well it would be hard to live with ourselves. You can imagine that if some super advanced alien race came to our planet tomorrow, and realized how tasty humans are...set up elaborate systems to breed us...our fate/destiny to become food by the time we reached maturity...it's an unsettling thought.

Like most spiny lobster, pearl lobster have a larval stage where they drift with the wind and current. For pearl lobster this stage is roughly 6 months so the source of Indonesia's lobster may be somewhere else in the Indo Pacific that's 6 months "upstream". Similarly, the Caribbean spiny lobster found in Florida that resemble Pearl Lobster likely came from parents on a reef in Central America.

@chickenmadness1732 Год назад

If all the babies end up upstream. How come all the adults that made the babies are downstream lol. Presumably if you keep going downstream far enough there are no lobsters left to make more babies so where do they all come from haha. It would mean all the babies that spent 6 months floating to the other side of the ocean would have to walk back to the start to complete the cycle. Doesn't make sense.

@Bkearing Год назад

Currents are complex, they'll loop around an ocean basin or fluctuate in strength seasonally. Storms and periods of sustained winds can also move water against the prevailing current. My point was simply that due to their long larval stage, managing lobster as a sustainable resource is quite complex since the parent population may not even be in the same country.

I dive for these commercially in Australia and they are the worst tasting lobster out of the 8 species we have here. Their flesh is tough and has a very strong flavour. The only reason they are the most valuable is because they are colourful and when they’re large their legs get very long so look impressive on a table. I’ve seen them be exported for upwards of $122 a kg and that’s what we get paid for them not what the customer is paying for them in china

Repent and follow Jesus my friend! Repenting doesn't mean confessing your sins to others, but to stop doing them altogether. Belief in Messiah alone is not enough to get you into heaven, you must become a new creation and be born again by responding to the Holy Spirit. - Matthew 7:21-23, Revelation 3:15-16 cf. Hebrews 10:26-29. Pay close attention to your thoughts and how you respond to your inner monologue because it has a greater impact than you think. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life, and do all that you can to follow His ways.

So a Kilogram is 2.2 pounds and commercial lobster is approximately $25/lb using the author's calculations at [$50/KG] making the pearl lobsters at [$50/lb]. TWICE as much as the commercial variety. Just curious as to how the factor 6X more came to be? Any mathematicians out there that can explain this arithmetical anomaly? No Jethroes please! lol.

@coryyoung7544 Год назад

A normal lobster can cost 5$ to 25$ per pound and 1 million rupiah is 64$. Sounds a lil like they just winged it.

@pauleywallnutz9429 Год назад

@@coryyoung7544 Well, it still doesn't explain his math, since rupiahs weren't even mentioned in his opinion. IE: Commercially bred pearl lobsters sell for about $50 per kilogram, while wild-caught pearl lobsters sell for $99 per kilogram. This makes pearl lobsters more than six times as expensive as Maine lobsters.

@coryyoung7544 Год назад

@@pauleywallnutz9429 one of the fisherman says each lobster can be worth 1-1.5 million rupiah $64-$96. They also might have been using the old numbers Maine lobster was selling for $8-$11 a pound last year It looks to be back up to $20-$25 though right now. Idk I can't actually tell you how they messed that up.
