Ayr & lobster
Ayr's lobster and langoustine come from Scotland's cold Atlantic west coast and the Minch, where creel fishermen have hauled pots from small boats for generations — shellfishing has been a Highland and island mainstay for centuries.
🦞 Lobster lore
Hard-shell lobster ships and stores better and packs more meat per pound, which is why winter lobster often costs more.
