Lobster season in Jamaica is from the end of summer to early spring. This is the only time of the year when lobster can legally be caught and eaten on this island. We’ve got more information on the lobster season in Jamaica below, as well as details on where to go to enjoy a tasty lobster meal while in Jamaica! Good to know: 96% of all ingredients used for the dishes at Sandals Resorts in Jamaica are freshly sourced from a local farm and on your plate within 24 hours. This enables Sandals to support the local economy, particularly small farmers. Good to know: Lobster tends to be quite pricy for a number of reasons. For starters, the yield of lobster meat once cleaned is quite low. Even when the supply of lobster is high, the prices won't necessarily drop because there are lots of logistics involved in successfully catching lobster. Part of this process includes the storage of lobster once caught. Lobsters must be kept in seawater tanks and shipped live. Usually, lobsters are cooked alive which helps to ensure that they're safe to eat.

On the sushi menu, try the rainbow roll, seared tuna tataki roll, and Caribbean dynamite roll!

There’s no question these will be a hit at any summer cookout, particularly if it’s a seafood cookout. Guests will probably be talking about your Flip Flobsters for weeks! At least that’s what I hope they’ll be talking about, and not how I accidentally set myself on fire being overzealous with the lighter fluid.Expert tip: Aside from its amazing cuisine there are many things Jamaica is known for including its amazing beaches.
