It is characterized by its large size, long antennae, and a robust body with a dark blue-green color, often featuring bright red claws. This lobster typically inhabits rocky seabeds and is known for its burrowing behavior. European lobsters are an important part of the fishing industry and are highly valued for their sweet, tender meat. They are usually caught using traps or pots and are a popular delicacy in many European cuisines. Conservation efforts are in place to ensure sustainable fishing practices for this species.
