Cervantes - Lobster Potting

Just the best day out. Boarding the boat we headed out over a rough sea to pull up six lobster pots. It was amazing to see how the process worked ,learnt how the Lobster was identified and processed. We didn’t expect the Lobster to be so heavy and strong. We pulled an array of sizes , threw back the females and anything under sized. We headed back for our Lobster to be cleaned and cooked , from sea to plate within 2 hours , freshest Lobster we’ve ever had.

Western Rock Lobster

The western rock lobster industry is an iconic, world-class fishery that is based on the spiny lobster (Panulirus cygnus), which thrives along Western Australia’s coast from North West Cape to Cape Leeuwin.
The industry comprises around 230 vessels that rely on baited pots to catch rock lobster. With an estimated value of $400 million, the Western Rock Lobster fishery stands as Western Australia’s most valuable fishery and has long been recognised as Australia’s most valuable single-species wild capture fishery.
Achieving global recognition, the WA rock lobster fishery holds the distinction of being the world’s first fishery to receive certification for ecological sustainability from the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) in 2000. Since then, it has successfully maintained its certification through five recertifications, showcasing its ongoing commitment to responsible fishing practices.Læs mere
