Spiny lobster season

To avoid over-fishing, spiny lobster has a specific season in Grenada and is not available year-round. We have an easy trick to remember when it will be available: You can purchase the lobster in months with the letter R (so, September – April). During this time period, fishermen will often sell lobster on docks and in harbors throughout the island. In fact, they often come up onto Laluna’s beach with their lobster bags for chef to personally select from.

Enjoying spiny lobster in Grenada

Spiny lobster can grow to massive sizes; we’ve seen guests pick up lobsters up to 8 pounds. Of course, for a romantic dinner for two, a 3 to 4 pound lobster would more than suffice. With its hard, protective exterior, preparing the lobster can be a daunting task. Luckily, Laluna’s Chef is experienced with the spiny lobster, and will happily prepare your fresh-catch for you. A unique crustacean, the spiny lobster ranks as one of our “must-try” dishes when visiting Grenada.
