Bring Fine Maine Dining Home With 2 lb. Live Lobsters

Let Maine Lobster Now give your dinner routine a little shot in the arm. Although “little” isn’t exactly right when we’re talking about our 2 lb. live lobsters shipped overnight directly to your front door. Bring this classic New England delicacy home to add some much-needed excitement to your boring dinner routine, or as a romantic dinner surprise for your partner. Lobsters are easy to cook on their own by following our cooking directions, or you can extract the meat to use in classic dishes like lobster BLTAs or lobster ravioli, two easy meals to make right at home.

Why The Maine Lobster Fishery Is Considered Sustainable

Maine's lobster fishery is considered one of the most sustainable in the world. Some of the regulations that ensure sustainability include:

  • Size restrictions
  • V-notch system
  • Trap limits
  • Limited entry

Our Commitment to Traceability

We ensure every lobster is traceable back to the dock where it was caught. From harvest to delivery, we track each step of the supply chain to maintain transparency and sustainability. This commitment guarantees the freshest, highest-quality lobsters while supporting responsible fishing and giving our customers confidence in their seafood's origins.

We source our live lobsters directly from independently owned wharfs, some just a few miles from our headquarters here in Maine and others all along the coast. Each day the docks trace their landings to the lobstermen who catch them, and we trace our lobsters to each dock where they landed.

What’s the Serving Size of 2 lb. Live Lobster?
One question customers almost always ask about ordering lobsters online is: “How much meat will I get from my live lobster?” Generally speaking, a 1 lb. hard-shell lobster is expected to yield about 3.2 oz. of lobster meat. With the standard serving size of lobster meat being 3.5 oz, your 2 lb. live Maine lobster will be plenty to fill 1 hungry person and ideal to split between 2 people.
For your lobster feast, might we recommend starting with an appetizer of mouth-watering crab cakes or clam cakes? As a side dish to serve with your cooked lobster, add traditional corn on the cob or Susan’s Seafood Stuffing. Of course, no New England meal would be complete without a classic Labadie's Bakery Original Maine Whoopie Pie.
If you think a 2 lb. live lobster might be too much food, or simply won’t be enough, shop our huge live lobster selection to order a different size.

Lobster is a nutritious seafood rich in lean protein, essential for muscle repair and overall health. It is also an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health, reduce inflammation, and may improve brain function. Additionally, lobster contains important vitamins and minerals like vitamin B12, zinc, and selenium, promoting immune and nervous system health.

Maine Lobster Now offers next-day delivery for orders placed Monday through Friday by 8AM ET, with delivery available Tuesday through Saturday. Saturday deliveries may require an additional fee and are subject to availability. Orders are shipped with dry ice or gel packs to ensure freshness. Shipping may be affected by holidays or weather conditions. Customers are encouraged to inspect their package upon arrival and report any issues immediately with photos. For more details, refer to their shipping policy.

Handle live lobsters carefully and cook them the day they arrive, as survival isn't guaranteed overnight once delivered. Store them in the refrigerator, either in the box or wrapped in damp paper with seaweed, but do not use an air-tight container, ice, or freshwater. Be cautious when handling lobsters, as their claws and tails can cause injury, especially if they arrive without bands.

To cook a 2-pound lobster, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Carefully place the live lobster headfirst into the pot, ensuring it is fully submerged. Cover the pot, return the water to a boil, and cook for 14-16 minutes until the lobster shell turns bright red and the meat is opaque. Remove the lobster, let it cool for a few minutes, then crack the shell and serve with melted butter or your favorite dipping sauce.

To ensure your lobster is perfectly cooked and safe for consumption, cook it to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). For accuracy, use a meat thermometer to check the thickest part of the tail. Once it reaches this temperature, your lobster is ready to enjoy!

Maine to Texas!

I was very pleased with the entire process. Ordering was quick and easy. Delivery was perfect. I bought three 2 lb lobsters as a gift for my daughter's wedding anniversary and had them shipped to her in Texas. They arrived alive and healthy. My daughter and her husband were absolutely thrilled with the size and weight and cooked them that evening. I would not hesitate ordering from here in the future. Thank you. You made their anniversary very special.
