Spiny Lobster

This Florida crustacean may not have claws like its Maine counterpart, but its sweet, low-fat meat found in the tails is popular on grills during the summer. Most of the state’s commercial harvest comes from Broward, Miami-Dade and Monroe counties. During the two-day mini-season, the last Wed. and Thurs. of July, lobster hunters get their chance to catch them before the regular lobster season begins, Aug. 6-Mar. 31.
