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
It’s official soup season here in California and I wanted fresh clam chowder. So I purchased 2lbs of littleneck clams, and they were fresh and awesome. Will definitely be ordering again.
I recently ordered live lobsters from Maine Lobster Now after ordering from a competitor site for years. The lobsters arrived very lively and healthy, which was a great sign. They were packed securely with plenty of moisture, ensuring they were in good condition upon arrival. The delivery was prompt, arriving exactly on the scheduled date. I had a question regarding storage and the online customer service chat was friendly and informative. After cooking, the lobsters were delicious! They had a sweet flavor and tender meat—definitely met my expectations. I highly recommend this company for anyone looking to order live lobsters. I would definitely order from them again!
Special occasions call for special ingredients. I send seafood to family in MT a few times a year. I live in Maine and will only use a Maine company to ship it ..these guys sell oysters grown by my neighbor and they've always done a good job getting to the goods to Missoula on time and fresher than donuts when the sign is on ..
Husband was in heaven
Excellent
My wife wanted live lobster to cook at home for her birthday 🎂. This order with two soups was the best. Two live 2lb lobster 🦞 were wonderful.
The fresh lobster meat was delivered overnight as promised and was delicious. It made the best lobster rolls we ever had.
We love the Applewood Smoked Bacon Wrapped Scallops, they are a freezer must have. You can use them as an appetizer, a small meal or as an side addition to the family meal. Easy to prepare, minimal cleanup and delicious.
I sent the gift of Maine recently when I visited family in Montana. We received a box of fresh lobster meat, along with buns, chips, mayo, and butter. We assembled and had a delicious feast! They were absolutely thrilled to have a fresh taste of Maine as our gift to them!
My friends love it when I serve lobster rolls. The kit is super easy and as good as anything I’ve had in Maine.
It was delivered just in time for my Mom’s birthday. It was live and delicious you can taste the freshness of it.
Thank you Maine Lobster!
The lobster meat is incredible, so fresh and sweet.
The bisque was delicious. The picture on the site is accurate. I like that the bisque is shipped in a cooking bag. You just heat water to a boil In a saucepan and drop it in to cook! Easy cleanup! I would order again
It was like being in Maine again without the drive. When I have a desire for lobster this will be Lobster Now not anywhere else. I made two Hugh lobster rolls just from the tail meat
I get a lobster for my dad’s birthday every year they are always amazing
