Claw and Knuckle Lobster Meat

• Our lobster meat is wild caught and sustainably harvested by small fishing operations in the North Atlantic.
• This lobster meat is immediately shelled, cooked, and flash-frozen to retain high protein levels, consistent flavor, and maximum freshness year-round. 

• The flash freezing process takes place after lobster is harvested, cooked, and shelled. Lobster meat undergoes a rapid freezing process using cryogenic temperatures that freezes products the at an accelerated rate.
• Flash frozen items maintain ideal freshness, taste, and texture without the use of artificial preservatives.

• It takes 5-6 lobsters to make 1 pound of claw and knuckle lobster meat.
• Approximately 5-6 tails per pound of lobster tail meat depending on the tail size.

• Both lobster tail and claw & knuckle meat are flavorful and delicious. It's more about your preference and what you're preparing.
• The main difference is lobster tail meat is more firm while claw and knuckle lobster meat is generally sweeter and more tender.
• Tail meat compares more similarly to traditional meat proteins such as steak that are larger and more firm.
• Traditional lobster rolls are prepared with claw and knuckle meat.
• We sell both lobster tail and claw & knuckle meat in 2 lb. increments.

• Items shipped frozen that arrive over 40 degrees Fahrenheit should be placed in the refrigerator and thawed completely for use within 2 days.

• When you receive your order, the lobster meat needs to be taken out of the shipping box right away. Next, put in the refrigerator to thaw if you are planning to use it in the next 2 days. Watch the how to receive my lobster meat order video for more details.

• The expiration date on our flash-frozen lobster meat is 2 years from processing. It is best to use it within 30 days of receiving.

• Since this wild-caught lobster meat is already cooked, you may thaw and eat it cold as in traditional lobster rolls. Always thaw lobster meat in the refrigerator and it's best to plan ahead for a slow 24-hour thaw. Never thaw out in your kitchen at room temperature.
• When you warm lobster meat, you are looking for a temperature of approx. 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Do not overcook as this will affect the taste. Please view how to cook lobster meat for detailed instructions.

• Yes, you can refreeze your lobster meat as long as it's remained in your refrigerator throughout the thawing process.
• Do not re-freeze lobster meat that you have warmed up and left out in room temperature.
• If you're not going to use all 2 lbs. and you want to repackage your lobster meat, first thaw in your fridge. Next, remove the lobster meat from the package and dry on paper towels. Lastly, place unused lobster meat in freezer-safe package and return to freezer.
