Oops! In Russ Parsons’ story this week, ‘Salt-roasting: It’s white magic,’ we neglected to include a list of where you can buy California spiny lobsters. When they’re in season (now through mid-March), the following seafood markets usually carry them (it’s best to call ahead to check):

99 Ranch Markets (various locations)

Fish King, 722 N. Glendale Ave., Glendale, (818) 244-2161

Santa Monica Seafood, 1205 Colorado Ave., Santa Monica, (310) 393-5244

Los Angeles Fish Company, 420 Stanford Ave., Los Angeles, (213) 629-1213

Oceanside Seafood, Redondo Pier, 100-F Fisherman’s Wharf, Redondo Beach, (310) 376-2244

Pearson’s Port, 100 E. Coast Highway, Newport Beach, (949) 675-6771

Also, select Bristol Farms and Gelson’s markets will order them for you.
