Rocklobsters are amongst the most expensive seafoods in Australia. Four species are commonly available, depending on your location, all of which share similar traits.
Of chief consideration is their price point - expect to pay between $80 and $130/kg year-round for good specimens. This investment can put off a lot of first timers, but fear not, because they’re easy to cook in a variety of methods.
