Are Australian lobsters, small green dragons and other shrimps really from deep sea in Australia or fresh water culture in China?

The Australian lobster and the little green dragon at the banquet usually don't come from the deep sea in Australia, but are cultured in fresh water in China.

Australian lobster and small green dragon are both freshwater lobsters, native to Australia. However, they can be cultivated in domestic fresh water environment. At present, China has successfully bred Australian lobster and little green dragon, and these freshwater lobsters have become common ingredients in high-end hotels and banquets in China.

Although some merchants may claim that their products are deep-sea lobsters from Australia, in fact, most Australian lobsters and small green dragons used for banquets are raised in domestic freshwater farms. These farms are usually located in the south of China, such as Guangdong, Fujian and Jiangsu.

Therefore, if you enjoy Australian lobsters or small green dragons at a banquet, you can ask the waiter or chef about their sources. If it comes from a domestic freshwater farm, it is not a real deep-sea lobster, but a freshwater lobster.
