Flathead Lobster, locally known as Kikka (کیکا) and scientifically named Thenus indicus (Indian Flathead Lobster), is a highly prized delicacy celebrated for its broad, flattened body and exceptionally tender, sweet meat. Unlike spiny lobsters, it features a smooth shell and a compact form that makes it a favorite in fine dining. Sourced directly from the Arabian Sea, Jojo Seafood brings ocean-fresh flathead lobsters straight to your doorstep.
