Fresh Lobster Meat

We responsibly source our lobster meat directly from independently owned wharfs just a few miles from our headquarters here in Maine and along the expansive Maine coastline. These docks trace all lobster landings to every lobsterman and woman who catches them, and we trace our lobsters to every dock where they landed.

The Serving Size of Fresh Lobster Meat

If you’ve never bought 1 lb. lobster meat before, you might not know how much it can make. One pound goes a long way. On average, 1 lb. of lobster meat comes from 5 lobsters. It’s the same amount of meat we send in our lobster roll kits, which can make a belly-filling 6 lobster rolls for the whole family. Or you can choose to pair your fresh lobster meat with any number of our lobster side dishes for a truly classic New England experience.

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.
