Live Freshwater Lobster

Redclaw, Cherax quadricarinatus, is a species of freshwater crayfish. The texture and flavor of the flesh compares very favorably with other commonly eaten marine crustaceans, and having the appearance of a lobster, is positioned at the premium end of the crustacean market spectrum.

Fresh redclaw have a smooth lustrous shell, deep blue to green in color, with males exhibiting a bright red coloring on the margins of their large claws. Cooked, they present as bright red, typical of premium crustaceans.

The meat is arguably more healthy than traditional seafood products as it is low in fat, cholesterol and salt.
