Sink Your Teeth Into Delicious 4-5 oz. Lobster Tails

Delicious and easy to prepare, our 4-5 oz. lobster tails are one of our most popular items. These tails are easy to cook, so you can quickly crack into thick pieces of tender meat that are great on their own or as part of a lobster recipe.

Responsibly Harvested Lobster

Our lobsters are wild-caught using the latest responsible harvesting methods that help ensure the long-term population of this coastal favorite and support thousands of independently owned businesses in Maine. You can feel confident that you’re eating great-tasting lobster that’s sourced responsibly.

Unmatched Quality and Freshness

To deliver lobster that is more fresh and better tasting than our competitors, we immediately flash-freeze lobster tails using a proprietary liquified nitrogen process to seal in freshness. This means you get lobster delivered to your door that tastes like it just came off the dock. Order 4-5 oz. lobster tails today to bring a taste of Maine home, wherever you live.

We responsibly source our lobsters directly from independently owned wharfs, some just a few miles from our headquarters here in Maine and others all along the North Atlantic coast. Each day the docks trace their landings to every lobsterman and woman who catches them, and we trace our lobsters to every dock where they landed.

Generally speaking, you should expect to get 50% of cooked lobster tail meat out of every raw lobster tail once cooked, so you can expect about 2.5 ounces of meat per 5 ounce lobster tail. We recommend 6-8 ounces of cooked meat per person so we recommend at least two 5 ounce raw lobster tails per person.

Lobster is a nutritious seafood rich in lean protein, essential for muscle repair and overall health. It is also an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health, reduce inflammation, and may improve brain function. Additionally, lobster contains important vitamins and minerals like vitamin B12, zinc, and selenium, promoting immune and nervous system health.

Maine Lobster Now offers next-day delivery for orders placed Monday through Friday by 8AM ET, with delivery available Tuesday through Saturday. Saturday deliveries may require an additional fee and are subject to availability. Orders are shipped with dry ice or gel packs to ensure freshness. Shipping may be affected by holidays or weather conditions. Customers are encouraged to inspect their package upon arrival and report any issues immediately with photos. For more details, refer to their shipping policy.

Frozen lobster tails should be thawed in the refrigerator for 24 hours to prevent the meat from sticking to the shell. It’s important to cook the tails within 2 days of thawing to ensure freshness. Never thaw a lobster tail in warm water or at room temperature, as this can affect the quality. If the lobster is not properly thawed before cooking, the meat can become tough and may stick to the shell, leading to a less enjoyable dining experience.

Why Nitrogen Freezing Is Better

Thanks to our nitrogen freezing process, our lobster tails, when properly handled, can be virtually indistinguishable from fresh lobster tails. This method also prevents the meat from sticking to the shell when thawed overnight in the refrigerator. Learn more about the benefits of our nitrogen freezing process.
