6 lb - 8 lb Live Canadian Lobster

These live lobsters are wild-caught in Canada’s North Atlantic waters. Choose your preferred weight range and follow the product’s delivery, storage and cooking instructions.

Generally speaking, you should expect to get 3.2 oz of meat every 1 lb. of hard-shell lobster, so you can expect about 22 ounces of meat per 7 pound lobster. We recommend 6-8 ounces of meat per person, so we recommend this for 2-3 people.

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.

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 6-8 pound lobster, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Gently place the live lobster headfirst into the pot, ensuring it’s fully submerged. Cover the pot, return the water to a boil, and cook for 26-32 minutes until the lobster shell turns bright red and the meat is opaque. Once cooked, remove the lobster, let it cool for a few minutes, then crack the shell and serve with melted butter or your preferred 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!

Health Advisory: Consuming raw or undercooked shellfish may increase your risk of foodborne illness, especially if you have certain medical conditions. If you’re not sure how to prepare lobster, please review our cooking directions.
