Catalan-style lobster (Alghero-style lobster)

Catalan-style lobster is served on a large platter, with the firm white lobster meat cut into medallions and laid over a fresh bed of ripe tomatoes and finely sliced onion. The aroma is that of extra virgin olive oil and the sea, with light citrusy notes. The contrast between the lobster’s delicate sweetness and the crisp freshness of the vegetables creates an elegant balance. It is the quintessential summer dish, often served as an important second course during seaside dinners.

Season: Estate€40–80

Why it matters

In Alghero, Catalan-style lobster is much more than a recipe: it is the city’s gastronomic symbol. It tells the story of the historic connection with Catalonia and the long Aragonese rule, which left deep traces in the local language, culture, and cuisine. Eating it here means tasting a defining part of the Riviera del Corallo’s identity.

Origin story

The recipe was born from the meeting of Alghero’s seafood catch and the Catalan culinary tradition brought by the Aragonese from the 14th century onward. Over time the preparation became simpler, highlighting the local lobster with just a few raw, fresh ingredients. Today it is the city’s celebratory dish, featured in historic restaurants and on special occasions.
