Whole Kaiar Lobster

Kaiar, the tropical rock lobster (Panulirus ornatus), is wild-caught in the crystal-clear waters of the Torres Strait, sourced through our partners at Salty Monkeys working directly with Torres Strait Islander communities. Every lobster is hand-caught by local fishers free-diving the reefs the way it's been done for generations, one at a time, no trawling, no dredging, no bycatch.

The meat is sweet, firm and delicate, a world-class lobster with a flavour that rivals any cold-water species. Flash-frozen at source to lock in freshness, so it reaches your kitchen as close to reef-fresh as possible.

To cook, thaw in the fridge overnight, then halve down the middle, brush with butter and grill or barbecue flesh-side down for a few minutes until just opaque, or poach whole in salted water.

This is one of Australia's most exclusive wild fisheries, with strictly limited availability by season.
