Cooked shrimp, raw shrimp or colossal prawns?
Cooked cocktail shrimp: thaw and serve
Bay Winds cocktail shrimp are fully cooked, peeled and deveined, with approximately 16–20 shrimp per pound: about 32–40 per 2 lb. pack. They are farm-raised in Southeast Asia; check the package for the specific country. Thaw as directed for a chilled platter or salad.
Raw peeled Pacific white shrimp: cook in your recipe
Bay Winds Pacific white shrimp are raw, peeled and top-deveined, with approximately 13–15 per pound: about 26–30 per pack. Sourced from Southeast Asia, they suit sautéing, grilling, pasta and stir-fries. Refer to the label for country of origin. They must be cooked before eating.
Colossal black tiger prawns: large and shell-on
Black tiger prawns are farm-raised in India and supplied raw, shell-on, easy-peel and deveined. The 6–8 per pound size gives approximately 12–16 prawns in a 2 lb. pack. Choose them for a larger presentation and recipes that start with raw prawns.
Read shrimp counts before planning portions
A lower count per pound means larger individual shrimp. Counts are approximate, while the pack is sold by weight. Shell-on prawn weight includes the shell, so equal pack weights do not mean equal amounts of peeled shrimp. Match the format to your recipe and whether shrimp are a starter or main dish.
Keep frozen until needed and follow the selected product's thawing instructions. Raw shrimp and prawns require cooking; cooked cocktail shrimp can be served after thawing as directed. Add your own cocktail sauce, lemon or recipe ingredients unless the selected package specifically includes them. Current delivery dates and charges appear at checkout.

Let customers speak for us
Lobsters were fabulous
Amazing. The lobster arrived ahead of time and put the box in the fridge as suggested. Later cooked them they were huge. Plenty of meat had to crack claw with a hammer. Worth every penny
Perfect! Came exactly when I requested it, still frozen and loved every bit. Will order again!
Great service & experience
My brother Paul, and I ordered lobsters, clams, and chowder to be delivered to our brother and his wife in Bay City, Michigan to celebrate their 35th anniversary. They arrived on time, exactly as promised and the quality and condition of everything was superb! They had enough for a lobster boil and lobster rolls the next day! I have already recommended Maine Lobster Now to friends and family in Texas and Florida.
Wonderful clams with lobster bisque, put in the 2 free lobster tails I received with my purchase, did a seafood boil with the rest of my order, 32 people ate till their heart’s content, everyone asked me where I got the seafood, Maine lobster now will have many new customers. Thanks again for your support and service for delivering the best lobster and on the day I wanted.
The flavor is incredible
As a displaced Mainer with older children who have vacation memories of these dogs from birthday party picnics at Fort Knox, schodic point and steamed at the Bangor State Fair. We broke down the large package and froze so we can bring them out when we have other displaced Maine friends come by who are willing to balance their 'red dye' intake for a day. Memories are re-activated from eyes, nose, and mouth.
Five stars they were amazing
Great taste and made for the main part of a very special birthday celebration!!
Amazing!!
Delicious Dinner! This is the second time we have ordered lobster from you. The order process is easy, the lobsters arrived nicely packed. The kids at our party had fun unpacking them and prepping them for dinner. Once cooked, the lobsters were delicious and were the centerpiece of our Clam Bake!
I have been trading with Maine Lobster for 10 years now (?). I have never been disappointed. Raised in New England and living in So Cal I need a good lobster. I’ve purchased, lobsters, clams, mussels, snow crab, bisque and was only disappointed 1ce when UPS screwed up my delivery. Maine Lobster stood behind me.
I ordered 2 lbs of Lobster meat and appreciated it came in 1 lb packs not a 2 lb pack. This is always my preference going forward not a 2 ln pack which is not convenient.
I ordered lobster dinners with all of the fixings for my son’s 40 birthday in Montana! Even when there was a delivery issue, the Maine Lobster rectified it immediately! Everything was delicious and perfect for days!
