Responsibly Harvested Lobster
At Maine Lobster Now, we only deliver North Atlantic live lobsters that are wild-caught using the latest responsible sourcing methods that help ensure the crustacean’s long-term population and support thousands of independently-owned businesses. You can feel confident you’re eating great-tasting lobster that’s sourced responsibly.
Unmatched Quality and Freshness
We always handle our live lobsters humanely and responsibly. We purchase our lobsters directly from wharfs along the North Atlantic shore and immediately transport them to our storage facility. We keep our lobsters in a saltwater tank that is maintained at a temperature that promotes their health and enables them to thrive until the day they arrive at your home.
We source our North Atlantic live lobsters directly from independently owned wharfs along the North Atlantic coast. Maine state law limits the size of harvested lobsters to 3.5 lbs., so lobsters larger than that are harvested in federal waters and brought back to docks in either New Hampshire or Canada. Each day the docks trace their landings to the lobstermen and women who catch them, and we trace our lobsters to each dock where they landed.
What’s the Serving Size of 8-10 lb. Live Lobster?
When ordering live lobster, everybody instinctively asks, “How much lobster meat will I actually get?” Generally speaking, a 1 lb. hardshell live lobster will yield about 20% meat when cooked, or 3.2 oz. We’ve found the perfect serving size for lobster is about 3.5 oz.
So, with your 8-10 lb. live lobster, you might find yourself looking for a bigger plate! You’ll get approximately 2 lbs. of lobster meat from these massive crustaceans, plenty to fill many empty stomachs at the dinner table and still leave some leftovers. A 10 lb. lobster would yield about 2 lbs. of lobster meat, the same amount we send in our 12-pack lobster roll kits. Other great alternatives to serve with your North Atlantic live lobster are mashed red potatoes and corn on the cob. We’re not sure you’ll have room for dessert, but you can always add a traditional Maine Blueberry Pie to your order to eat later on.

Are Lobsters the Next Superfood?
Lobsters offer a wide range of beneficial health qualities similar to other popular “superfoods.” Lobster (similar to other seafood we sell) is an excellent source of protein, offering 19 grams of protein per 3.5 oz. serving.
Lobster also contains a healthy dose of vitamins B3, B6, and B12, which help support metabolism and cognitive function. Lobster is an excellent source of the antioxidant selenium, which prevents cellular damage, and lobster is also high in zinc to boost immunity. And like salmon, lobster contains omega-3 fatty acids that help lower inflammation and can reduce the risk of heart disease.
