When you decide to visit the Caribbean, gastronomy is a fundamental part of the experience. The exotic and paradisiacal landscapes are perfectly complemented by a diverse, natural gastronomy, nourished by the history of the region. Undoubtedly, one of the dishes that best represents this tradition and the region is lobster.


On this occasion, we want to talk about the way lobster is cooked and offered at Morgan's Mango, a restaurant that stands out in the most relevant gastronomic rankings. We will see what is behind this exquisite dish, how it is caught, how it is cared for and how it reaches the consumer's plate. 

Lobster fishing and care: a unique art

In the Caribbean, and particularly on the island of St. John, lobster fishing follows sustainable methods that seek to protect marine ecosystems. Local fishermen generally use specially designed traps to catch adult lobsters, thus ensuring that the younger ones remain in the ocean to grow and reproduce, thus protecting the species. It is an approach that is based on the concept of responsible fishing, while protecting the delicate balance of marine life that requires input from different sectors. 

Once the lobsters are caught, Morgan's Mango is determined to keep them alive in optimal conditions until they can be used for human consumption, which guarantees the maximum quality of the product that reaches the recipient. To this end, the lobster is cared for in clean seawater at the right temperature, which preserves both its freshness and its original flavor. It is meticulous care that ensures that every bite of the dish is a unique experience.

Lobster as a symbol of Caribbean cuisine and history

As we have mentioned before, one of the great icons of Caribbean gastronomy has to do with lobster and its sweet and delicate flavor. It has become a traditional dish that shows the connection the region has with the sea. From the most prestigious restaurants to gastronomic festivals and events, lobster takes center stage, which is another way of celebrating the true richness of the oceans. 

In the particular case of St. John, lobster is not just a dish, but an experience in itself. That's why many recipes across the island include it with native spices that enhance its natural flavor and allow for unique combinations. 

Why eat lobster at Morgan's Mango?

We have seen that lobster is a delicious and traditional delicacy of the island of St. John. But at the same time it represents an opportunity to support the local community. This, because lobster fishing and cooking are activities that are deeply rooted in both the culture and economy of the island. Therefore, when you choose this dish, you are not only enjoying an extraordinary meal, but at the same time, you are contributing to the economic livelihood of the region and in particular of the local producers and fishermen. 

In the particular case of Morgan's Mango, the lobster is the ultimate expression of the restaurant's dedication to offer the best gastronomic and cultural experience to its visitors. It is prepared on the grill and served with rice, beans and fried plantains, which is a true tribute to the island's culinary heritage. 

Come and enjoy the magic of lobster at Morgan's Mango and its special preparation!
