Seafood Gifts for Hosts and Home Cooks
Lobster Mac & Cheese
Saying happy holidays with ready-to-bake lobster mac & cheese from Maine Lobster Now is sure to leave an impression. Our lobster mac recipe was prepared by an executive chef. It was taste-tested against several competitors and tweaked until we found the unanimous winner. This is a great dinner option to have on hand by itself or serve as a side dish during your Thanksgiving or Christmas holiday dinner.
Seafood Soups & Chowders
When you think of seafood, one of the first things to come to mind is clam chowder. We have that and so many more options to warm up for the holidays. All of our soups and chowders are loaded with large pieces of seafood like clams and lobster. Try our lobster bisque, haddock chowder, lobster stew, or seafood chowder that contains a smorgasbord of lobster, scallops, shrimp, haddock, and clams.
USDA Black Angus Prime Steaks
When it comes to lobster dinners, one of the most classic you can get is surf n' turf. To pair with your lobster order we offer delicious steaks. Visit our huge selection of USDA Prime Black Angus steaks, the same grade found at five-star restaurants. Order filet mignon, rib eye, strip steaks, porterhouse, and much much more.
Sea Scallops
Need a healthy and quick dinner option? Choose from several different sizes of delicious sea scallops that are easy to sear in a pan. Or grab our savory ready-to-cook bacon-wrapped scallops that make the perfect appetizer or finger food for a holiday party.
Shellfish
Clams, oysters, shrimp, and mussels are all available through Maine Lobster Now. Our shellfish are of the highest quality and make for perfect appetizers and meals on their own drenched in lemon and butter, or added to classic holiday recipes like linguine or stuffing.
Salmon
Eating healthy during the holidays can be a challenge, but our seafood holiday gift guide is loaded to the gills with healthy options. So add some salmon to your weekly dinner planning. All our salmon varieties offer Omega 3s, vitamins, protein, and a dose of healthy fats. Best of all, salmon is a festive addition to holiday recipes. Make some lox or add it to a fresh salad for a pop of color and flavor.
Lobster Tails
Lobster tails make a convenient alternative to cooking a whole lobster. Choose the available size and quantity for your guest count, remembering that the listed weight includes the shell. Check the current product options before planning portions.
Maine Blueberry Pie or Whoopie Pies
Maine may be well known for its lobster, but that's not the only sweet treat that comes out of the Pine Tree State. Maine is also well known for its blueberry harvest and blueberries make for some delicious blueberry pies. Another famous dessert to come from Maine is the whoopie pie, a round chocolate cake sandwich filled with vanilla créme. Grab either of these tasty desserts to treat yourself and the family this holiday season.
Maine Lobster Now Gift Cards
Not sure which seafood or delivery date to choose? An eGift Card lets the recipient make those decisions. Select the available value and follow the delivery options on the gift-card page.
Lobster and Crab Gifts
Lobster Meat
Prepared lobster meat saves the recipient the work of cracking shells. Choose fresh or frozen according to the selected product and their meal plans. Use it for lobster rolls, salads, pasta or soups, and follow its storage instructions.
Alaskan King Crab Legs
King crab legs make a generous holiday centerpiece. Check the selected product for species, harvest origin, leg size, package weight and whether it arrives cooked and frozen. Those details are more useful than assuming every king crab product has the same origin or portion size.
Live Maine Lobster
Live Maine lobster makes a hands-on holiday meal. Choose the current size and quantity options, confirm that the recipient can accept a perishable delivery, and plan to cook live lobster on arrival. Use the checkout calendar for available dates rather than relying on a holiday deadline from a previous year.
Jumbo Lobster Tails
Jumbo lobster tails can be the centerpiece of a special dinner or sliced for sharing. Review the current size options and remember that the shell-on weight is not the same as the amount of cooked meat. Cooking time depends on tail size and method.
Seafood Dinners to Share
For a packaged meal, compare our seafood dinners and bundles by their included portions and accompaniments.
Alaskan King Crab Leg Cluster
Compare the leg, claw and cluster formats currently offered. Package contents vary; a photograph or the word “cluster” should not be treated as a promise of an entire side of crab. Use the selected listing’s weight and included pieces to plan your meal.
Lobster Dinner Kits for Two
The Lighthouse Dinner is now the Live Lobster & Mussels Dinner for Two, with two live 1.5 lb lobsters, 2 lbs of mussels, chowder, potatoes and whoopie pies. For a tail-and-steak meal, the Surf and Turf Tail Dinner for Two is now the Lobster Tail & Filet Mignon Dinner for Two. Its base dinner has two 8–10 oz tails, two 4 oz filet mignons, chowder, whoopie pies and butter. The extra-tail option adds lobster while the other components remain portioned for two. Check each listing for the full current contents.
More Lobster Dinners for Two
Compare the available dinners by seafood, serving count and included accompaniments. Choose a live-lobster meal for someone who enjoys cooking whole lobster, or a tail dinner for easier shelling. Verify the selected option rather than assuming every dinner includes the same sides or dessert.
jumbo whole lobsters
When you want a truly special treat for the holidays, cooking and sharing a giant North Atlantic lobster is the way to go. Bring good tidings and cheer to your holiday feast with one of these massive crustaceans to indulge in huge lobster tail meat and sweet, tender claw meat.
King Crab for a Holiday Feast
For a larger gathering, compare the available king crab leg packages by weight and size. The current selection should guide your order; this guide does not promise a whole crab. Browse the current king crab selection
