5-6 oz. Maine Lobster Tail

We source our lobsters 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.

What’s the Serving Size of 5-6 oz. Lobster Tails?

Not sure what size lobster you need? We’ve got you covered. Each 5-6 oz. lobster tail is enough to feed one person as their main course when you include a few lobster side dishes. If you don’t plan to serve side dishes, we recommend purchasing a larger lobster tail instead. Whether you need lobster tails to diversify your weekly dinner routine, or you’re planning a special dinner-for-two on Saturday night, these lobster tails are sure to satisfy your seafood craving.

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.

In order to bring you a truly memorable seafood experience and keep our products as fresh as possible, all frozen items are shipped with gel packs or dry ice. Dry ice is not hazardous to food and will not contaminate it. In fact, these cooling methods, alongside our own nitrogen freezing process, help keep your seafood at ideal temperatures during shipping and ensure they taste just like they are fresh from the dock.

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.
