Product Description:
Indulge in a luxurious seafood experience with our Lobster & Oyster Bundle, crafted for those who appreciate the finer things in life. This bundle combines two premium ingredients: Rock lobsters and New Zealand oysters, both celebrated for their exquisite taste and texture.
The bundle includes two whole raw Rock lobsters, each weighing between 600-800g. These lobsters are known for their sweet, succulent meat, perfect for grilling, baking, or boiling. The impressive spiky shell of the lobster not only provides a dramatic presentation but also enhances the flavour through the cooking process. Whether served with a simple lemon butter or as part of a gourmet seafood feast, these lobsters will impress any guest.
Accompanying the lobsters is a box of 12 New Zealand half-shell oysters. These oysters are renowned for their delicate, creamy texture and briny flavour, making them a perfect addition to raw seafood platters. Our sashimi-grade oysters can be enjoyed raw but are also delicious when steamed or fried. Their versatility makes them a great choice for various recipes or as a stand-alone delicacy.
This bundle is not only a feast for the taste buds but also a healthy choice. Rich in protein and healthy fats, lobster and oysters offer numerous nutritional benefits. They are high in essential minerals like phosphorus and magnesium, as well as vitamins such as B12, which contribute to muscle and bone health, a strong immune system, and overall energy.
With a 20% discount and free delivery, this bundle is a superb value for a premium seafood experience. It’s perfect for special occasions, celebrations, or simply treating yourself to an extraordinary meal. Pair with Champagne or white wines like Chardonnay or Riesling to complement the flavours and elevate the dining experience.
