What Sizes Are Actually Maine Lobsters?
Maine Lobsters, renowned for their sweet, succulent meat, are typically caught and sold within a specific size range, typically between 1 pound and 3 pounds. These lobsters are primarily harvested off the coast of Maine, where the cold, nutrient-rich waters contribute to their exceptional flavor and quality. Lobsters within this size range are considered ideal for a variety of culinary purposes, from classic lobster rolls to decadent lobster dinners.
Oversized Live Lobsters
For customers seeking larger lobsters, typically weighing over 3 pounds, Maine Lobster Now sources these oversized crustaceans from Canada. These North Atlantic live lobsters boast impressive sizes and are prized for their generous portions of tender meat. Sourced from the same pristine waters, these Canadian lobsters uphold the same high standards of quality and freshness that customers expect from Maine Lobster Now.
Whether you're looking for a modest-sized lobster for a cozy dinner or an oversized crustacean to impress at a special occasion, Maine Lobster Now offers a diverse selection to suit every preference. With our commitment to sourcing the finest lobsters from both Maine and Canada, customers can trust that they're receiving the best of the North Atlantic's bounty, delivered straight to their doorstep.
Maine Lobsters Nows In-House Lobster Processing
We made the decision to bring our lobster production in-house. Why? For quality and control. We recognize the prices customers pay on our website and are honored that our customer base chooses to invest their hard-earned money in our product. Over the past few years, we have expanded our warehouse to include a full Ready-to-Eat (RTE) production room dedicated solely to lobster production. This affords us a wide range of benefits, such as daily quality control checks, taste testing, and freezing using our nitrogen freezing tunnel. Most importantly, it enables us to provide fresh Maine Lobster Meat throughout the year, rather than just during periods of low price, when the majority of the market produces their meat products.
A Normal Day For Maine Lobster Now's Production
The cooker kicks on at 5:00 am, and our first batches of lobsters are cooked, cooled, and ideally picked before 10:00 am. We then portion out the necessary amount of fresh lobster meat for the day, place the meat in one-pound packages, vacuum seal, and label it. Any remaining product is then bagged, labeled, and run through our nitrogen freezer tunnel. We then take the freshly picked and packaged lobster meat directly to our cold storage packing line. Here, the order slips run through our packing line, and the correct amount of lobster meat is packed into the correct box, sealed, sent to FedEx, and enjoyed by our customers the following day.
Let customers speak for us
I gifted my sister 4 lobsters for her Birthday dinner!! Her response “ The lobsters were soooooo good! Thanks again 🥰🥳”. They were enjoyed by all!!!

Maine, Really.
I’ll be using the Meat to prepare The Dublin Lawyer and it’s will be Spectacular, thanks to Maine Lobster Now…
This will be our Thanksgiving dinner next week. I Absolutely Love the Price and Service. I Know it’s The Best even before it’s served!’
These lobster tails were excellent! They arrived in perfect condition, beautifully packaged, and still frozen with no sign of defrosting. They actually arrived earlier than I would have expected having come cross country. We steamed them following your instructions and served them with a butter, garlic, lemon dip. They exceeded our expectations! We will definitely want to order from you again. I am anxious to try your lobster rolls, In live lobsters as well. As transplants from the NorthEast to the West Coast, we were delighted at this very next best option to sitting there in Maine at a lobster shack enjoying this delicacy to the fullest. We definitely plan to order again.
I have a photo, but it will not let me post it in this space. I will send it separately.

Great meal enjoying those three two pound lobsters with family in Indianapolis.
They were delicious and will order again.
absolute perfection! You have a customer for life😊 made my daughters birthday one to remember
Great place to buy seafood and soup. I have tried a number of things from Maine Lobster and they have all been good.
Well packaged, great portion, flavorful.
Out of 12 only 1 was dead. The other 11 were juicy, plump, and fresh. No sand/grit either. Made clam marinara pasta and was the best dinner I made in awhile. Absolutely recommend
The crab cakes arrived professionally packaged in dry ice. Delivery communication was excellent so that I could bring the crab cakes out of the Texas heat asap. These crab cakes actually taste like crab as they are not overpowered with fillers. I would definitely purchase again
We ordered two pound lobsters to celebrate with family in Colorado. I was particularly impressed with the continuous shipping communication from Live Maine Lobster. Our lobsters were packed nicely, arrived exactly when we needed them, and were absolutely delicious. Thanks.
We ordered 2 - 3lb lobsters and 2 - 2.5 lb lobsters for a lobster-fest weekend. We ate 2 of them steamed and cooked the other 2 and refrigerated them to make lobster salad rolls the next day.
I have ordered from MLN for years and these were the best I think we ever had. My 3 lb lobster weighed in @ 3.6 lbs!
Great service! Lobster was great! 3# lobsters are huge! Great birthday celebration.
