Description

Frozen lobster tails are a seafood delicacy highly valued in gastronomy for their delicate flavor and firm yet juicy texture. They consist of the lower part of the lobster's body, which contains the largest amount of meat, making them ideal for preparing sophisticated dishes such as grilled lobster, baked lobster, or in creamy sauces.

This ingredient comes primarily from lobsters caught in the cold waters of the North Atlantic, especially in areas like Canada, the United States, and parts of Europe. Freezing helps preserve their freshness and flavor for longer, facilitating their transportation and availability in markets and stores worldwide.

Lobster tails are rich in high-quality protein, low in fat, and contain essential minerals such as zinc, phosphorus, and magnesium, in addition to being a good source of vitamin B12. Their consumption provides important nutrients for the health of the nervous system and metabolism.

Regarding synonyms in Spanish used in Latin America, this ingredient may also be found under names such as colitas de langosta, langostinos congelados (although "langostinos" can refer to other species, in some countries it is used for small lobster or tails), or simply cola de langosta.
