What is a Squat Lobster? They are among the smallest lobster in the world.

Very versatile, this rich sweet morsel of pure lobster tail meat can be prepared in a wide variety of ways - sautéed, fried, boiled or poached.
The criteria for any dish is great taste. That's why Chefs use squat lobster to enhance pasta dishes, salads and soups, as well as an hors'doeuvre or to garnish their entrees.
