Catching spiny lobster requires a combination of skill and patience. Armed with a tickle stick and a tail noose, we search for these elusive creatures among coral reefs and rocky crevices. Moving slowly and deliberately, the diver gently persuades the lobster out of its hiding spot with the tickle stick before swiftly putting the noose around the tail.
The lobsters are checked for eggs and legal size before being caught, ensuring there will be many more for future generations to enjoy
fun fact: Centuries ago, lobsters were regarded as "poor man's protein” and even fed to the slaves. In the colonial era, lobsters were plentiful and easily accessible, leading to their utilization as a cost-effective and abundant food option. However, over time lobsters transformed from a humble sustenance for the less fortunate to a symbol of luxury and indulgence. Today, lobster is celebrated as a delicacy, gracing the tables of fine dining establishments worldwide, showcasing a remarkable journey from humble beginnings to a coveted culinary status.
