This week the “live beach price” for Western Australia (WA)'s western rock lobster hit a record high.
Bluewave Lobster Lancelin manager, Kim Scaddan, said: "The record AUD 67/kilo price for B sized lobster reflects the demand for WA's high quality product worldwide."
The majority of WA's lobster catch is destined for China where demand is currently outstripping supply.
B sized lobsters, around half a kilo, are the most sought after at this time, but even H sized lobsters, around 2.5 kilos, are fetching AUD 37/kilo.
