Fresh Lobster Tail Meat - 1 lb

We sustainably source our lobster tail 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 Tail Meat

If you’ve never bought 1 lb. lobster tail meat before, you might not know how much it can make. One pound goes a long way. On average, 1 lb. of lobster tail 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 tail meat with any number of our lobster side dishes for a truly classic New England experience.

Are Lobsters the Next Superfood?

Lobster tail meat offers a host of beneficial health qualities similar to other “superfoods.” Lobster 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 to support metabolism and cognitive function. It’s an excellent source of the antioxidant selenium which prevents cellular damage and is high in zinc to boost immunity. Like other seafood we sell, lobster also contains omega-3 fatty acids that help lower inflammation and can reduce the risk of heart disease.
