12-14 oz. Maine Lobster Tail

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 12-14 oz. Lobster Tails

If you don’t order lobster meat often, knowing what size you need may be difficult. Most 12-14 oz. lobster tails will be enough to feed one person as their main course that includes a lobster side dish. If you don’t have a side dish, you may want to choose one of our jumbo lobster tails to satisfy your appetite. Whether you need lobster tails to change up your weekly dinner routine, or you’re planning a special anniversary dinner-for-two, these lobster tails are sure to be a hit.

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.

We ship out orders Monday - Friday for next-day delivery on Tuesday - Saturday, as long as the order is placed by 2PM ET. You may also schedule your seafood delivery ahead of time by choosing your desired date at checkout.

All frozen packages are sealed in a reusable box with dry ice, while our fresh packages are packed with gel packs. Packages containing both frozen and fresh products will be packed with gel packs. Dry ice is not harmful to your food as CO2 is found naturally in the air we breathe, however, it can be so cold that it can burn your skin if you touch it with your bare hands. Please wear gloves when handling dry ice.

• 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.
