The Rainbow Lobster (Panulirus ornatus) is a large edible spiny lobster (without claws) and is also known by other names like: Ornate Rock Lobster, Tropical rock lobster, Ornate rock lobster, Ornate Spiny Lobster, and Ornate Tropical Rock Lobster. The slipper lobster is its closest relative (see here for slipper lobster prepared sashimi style: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXXJAjtKKzY).
Seafood is a major staple of Taiwanese night markets. Here, a super fresh rainbow lobster is prepared two ways. The lobster head and shell were used to make a delectable soup and the meaty lobster tail was seasoned and baked to perfection.
