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
We have shopped with Maine Lobster Now for years. We usually buy multiple 2lb lobsters, but this year for a treat, we ordered two 6-8lb lobsters. We were so thrilled with the lobsters we received. And they were delicious. Shipping is amazingly fast and well communicated. We are customers for life.
Four lively lobsters, perfectly packed, and delivered to our door in Colorado, on time - to the minute!
Lobster Fra Diavolo is our family's favorite, so to celebrate our reunion, we ordered 4 live ones. They arrived on time, to the minute, beautifully packed and topped with seaweed. Each lobster was lively and ready for cooking. Dinner was a big success, every savory bite brought closed eyes and a smile! So delicious that we couldn't wait for leftovers! Best Fra Diavolo ever, in Colorado no less, thanks to Maine Lobster Now!!
I was pleased to receive the 2 pounds of lobster meat, delivered right on time! The pieces were extremely fresh and tasty. An expensive indulgence, but I made 8 people very happy with my Thanksgiving lobster side salad!
My only suggestion in the whole process is to figure out a more sustainable way to ship the meat without using styrofoam. thanks!
Every once in awhile a deal like this comes up. The broken tails are just as good as the perfect ones at a 40% discount or about. Never know what you'll get so maybe keep them just for you! I received 13 4oz tails and butter poached them in 2 batches. Very tender and moist...delicious.
Biggest tails I've ever seen. These were so good, I cooked them in the smoker. Was nice to have just one thing for dinner and have it be lobster, one is enough for a meal. Was a pretty good deal but probably won't get them any more. I usually get the 8-10oz and have something else with them. I saw these and thought it would be cool to try them, they were so good. I'd definitely recommend them. I'm just not into spending this much on dinner all the time.
We had these on Thanksgiving Day. We sent pictures to our friends telling them this is what turkey looks like in Florida. LOL. Quite an upgrade.
Lobsters arrived in perfect condition.. tasted like they were just pulled out of the ocean.
Always a pleasure to celebrate my husbands' birthday with live Maine lobsters. They are so good and such a special treat.
I gifted my sister 4 lobsters for her Birthday dinner!! Her response “ The lobsters were soooooo good! Thanks again 🥰🥳”. They were enjoyed by all!!!
The lobsters came fresh, came quickly and they were delicious!! Always going to order from here!!
I usually don’t eat bacon but wrapped around Scallops for
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.
