Different types of lobsters

There are different types of lobsters, in the Netherlands and Belgium we mainly encounter lobsters. Elsewhere, crawfish and lobsters are also sold, here we don’t find much of them. Within the lobsters we distinguish among others the Canadian, American and European lobster. The Canadian and American lobster have a somewhat brownish color, while the European lobster on the other hand is more blue-black in color. We also know them as ‘blue lobsters’.

Are you buying a Canadian or American lobster? Then consider the difference between hard shells and soft shells. The lobsters with a hard carcass have a wider tail and in the legs there is considerably more meat. Hard shell lobsters are therefore often more expensive than soft shell lobsters. A male or female can be identified by the presence of red-colored eggs after cooking, or by the finer ‘bits’ of a female lobster on the bottom, often crossed.
