Sand Lobster, also known as Flathead Lobster or Bay Lobster, is a prized catch from Oman's rich coastal waters. Its sweet, delicate meat rivals that of traditional lobster at a fraction of the cost. These lobsters are harvested from Oman's pristine coastal waters using sustainable fishing methods. Each lobster is carefully selected and flash-frozen to preserve its delicate flavor and texture.

Whole, tail, or processed formats are confirmed by product, size, and producer capability.
Confirm individual weight, size grade, raw or cooked state, freezing, glazing, shell condition, and net weight.
Hotels, restaurants, buffets, and retail require coordinated presentation, portion size, and packing.
Confirm production, loading, and transport temperatures, shelf life, thawing instructions, and temperature records for the product.
Confirm the specification, analysis or health documents, origin, facility details, packing list, and shipment papers for the destination.
The size mix in the carton drives the quotation, since a 200 g piece and a 1.5 kg piece are not worth the same. Price also reflects raw or processed state, the glaze percentage and net weight basis, sea frozen or land frozen production, the fishing season, the order volume and the incoterm, FOB, CIF or DAP.

Yes. Omani sand lobster ships to Gulf ports in a frozen reefer container on FOB, CIF or DAP terms, from an EU approved and FDA registered plant, with health and origin documents prepared for the destination market. Lead time depends on the catch, the production slot and the sailing booked, so we confirm it per order instead of quoting a fixed date.
The flatter body and sweet meat suit soups, stews, grills and mixed seafood plates. Smaller pieces work for appetisers and portioned plates, larger ones for whole presentation. Cooking yield changes with size, so if your menu needs a consistent portion, share the expected size band in writing before the order is confirmed.
Cartons are packed across a range, here from 200 g to 1.5 kg per piece, not to a single calibration. Put the expected size distribution, the glaze percentage, the carton net weight and the tolerance into the purchase order. Whether a narrower band can be produced depends on the catch and the plant's output, and is confirmed at quotation.
