Anyone know about these guys? Like the regulations and method of catching them. I heard they're in our local waters.

Slipper lobsters are a tropical species, you're not missing much, as they taste almost EXACTLY like our spiny lobsters.
They are not found on our coastline.

The cold california current prevents them from entering our waters..
