8-10 oz. Maine Lobster Tails

We source our lobster tails directly from independently owned wharfs, some just a few miles from our headquarters here in Maine and others all along the North Atlantic coast. Each day the docks trace their landings to every lobsterman and woman who catches them, and we trace our lobsters to every dock where they landed.

The Serving Size of 8-10 oz. Lobster Tails

If you don’t order lobster meat often, you may not know what size you need. We’re here to help. Most 8-10 oz. lobster tails will be enough to feed one person as part of a main course that includes a few sides. If you don’t have any lobster side dishes, you may want to order a larger lobster tail. Whether you need lobster tails as a way to diversify your weekly dinner routine, or you’re planning a special dinner with family or friends this weekend, these lobster tails are sure to please the most sophisticated palates.

Are Lobsters the Next Superfood?

Lobsters offer a host of beneficial health qualities similar to other “superfoods.” Lobster (along with 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 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. And like salmon, lobster also contains omega-3 fatty acids that help lower inflammation and can reduce the risk of heart disease.

Simple Instructions for Storing and Thawing Lobster

We’ll help you keep your lobster tails at the highest quality possible.

• Frozen lobsters should be left to thaw in the refrigerator for 24 hours to prevent lobster meat from sticking to the shell.
• Cook tails within 2 days of thawing.
• Never thaw a lobster tail in warm water or at room temperature.
• If not properly thawed before cooking, lobster meat can become tough and may stick to the shell.
