Florida spiny lobster season begins August 6 and runs through March 31. The grueling seven-month season puts just about every boater with a dive mask on the waterways, landing bag limits (6 lobster per person) in as little as one dive, and making for weekends of Bacchus-esque dining proportions with so much lobster you’ll never look at melted butter the same way again.
To celebrate this delectable crustacean, we’re serving up a few recipes by way of Florida’s state chef, Justin Timineri, to get the taste-buds going and added incentive to get in the water and catch some bugs!
