The cold-water difference

Not all lobster is the same.

Maine hard-shell lobster lives in cold Atlantic water that rarely exceeds 55°F. Cold water forces slow growth — and slow growth produces denser, sweeter, more complex meat than anything grown in warm water.

Most restaurants and grocery stores serve warm-water spiny lobster from the Caribbean or Southeast Asia. It's cheaper, easier to source frozen, and noticeably flat by comparison. Once you taste cold-water Maine, you'll know the difference.

We source only hard-shell Maine lobster, in season, direct from the Maine coast. No soft-shell, no warm-water imports, no compromise.

What makes us different

Packed in fresh Maine seaweed. Every order.

This isn't a marketing line — it's the traditional Maine method, used by lobstermen for over 150 years. Fresh damp seaweed keeps lobsters calm in transit, maintains the right humidity, and regulates temperature better than synthetic packing materials.

Keeps lobsters alive longer

Seaweed mimics their natural ocean habitat, keeping them calm and significantly reducing stress during the 24-hour journey.

No synthetic filler, no shortcuts

Most shipped seafood uses newspaper or plastic wrap. We use what Maine lobstermen have always used — because it works.

Every box packed by hand

Same-day as your order ships. Gel refrigerants, damp seaweed, insulated shipper — packed fresh, sealed, labeled, handed to UPS.

Why Shipped Lobster

Local. Direct. Overnight.

We're not a seafood marketplace or a reseller. We're local to Maine, and that's the whole point.

01

Pulled from Maine waters today

Our lobsters are hauled by Maine licensed fishermen and packed the same afternoon your order comes in. Not sitting in a holding tank for a week — pulled today, at your door tomorrow.

02

Packed in fresh Maine seaweed

Every order is hand-packed in damp Maine seaweed inside an insulated seafood shipper with gel refrigerants. The seaweed keeps humidity up and lobsters calm — the way Maine fishermen have packed lobster for over 150 years.

03

Direct from Maine fishermen

No middlemen, no resellers, no warehouse. We source directly from Maine licensed harvesters on the Maine coast. That's why the lobster tastes different — because it is different.

04

Live arrival guaranteed

If a lobster doesn't arrive alive, contact us within 24 hours with a photo. We replace or refund immediately — no questions, no holds, no runaround. That's the guarantee.

What people are saying

5.0 from verified buyers

Arrived alive, lively, and enormous. We made the classic 2-box for our anniversary dinner and it was better than any restaurant we've been to. The cook card was actually helpful.

Classic 2-Lobster Box

I was skeptical about live lobster shipped to my door. Totally converted. Box arrived at 9am, lobsters were feisty, dinner was on the table by 7. Absolutely will order again.

Family 4-Lobster Box

Ordered for Father's Day and my dad was genuinely speechless. The packaging was impressive — clearly insulated, clearly packed with care. Everything arrived perfect.

Family 4-Lobster Box

Got the 2-pack on a Wednesday, ate Wednesday night. Freshest lobster I've had outside of Maine. Guarantee is real — I tested it on a small order first. Never needed it, but good to know.

Classic 2-Lobster Box

From Maine to Miami overnight, arrived in perfect shape. The cook instructions were clear and the lobsters were sweet and tender. Already planning my next order for Thanksgiving.

Best seafood I've ever had at home. The quality difference between this and grocery store lobster is shocking. Worth every penny.
