Inverness & lobster
Inverness'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
The green 'tomalley' is the lobster's liver and pancreas, a delicacy to some, though advisories suggest eating it sparingly.
