High Pressure Processing and lobster processing

For most of us, removing the lobster shell for eating is a very tricky task, time consuming and also it requires skills, a sharp knife and a lot of patience! This is one of the unique reasons why High Pressure Processing (HPP) offers so many advantages for lobster based products.

Like we explained in our previous blog post “HPP Seafood: Shells Away with High Pressure Processing” HPP detaches the adductor muscle to open the shell. Nowadays, removing lobster shells has never been easier with high pressure processing (HPP). Outstandingly, HPP lobster stripping not only allows recovering about 100% of edible meat, but also represents the opportunity for chefs around the world to create new impactful dishes using the whole lobster.
