This is wild caught lobster tail meat. Premium lobster meat is sustainably harvested off the North Atlantic Coast. Your lobster meat arrives professionally shelled, pre-cooked, and flash-frozen. This is the best priced lobster meat online. 2 lbs. of lobster meat is approximately equivalent to 10-12 lobsters in terms of the amount of meat you receive!

Catch & Harvest

Where are the lobsters in your lobster meat caught?
  • 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. 
How many lobsters are in a pound of lobster meat?
  • 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.
Lobster claw and knuckle meat vs. tail meat?
  • 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.

Shipping & Handling

What is flash-freezing?
  • 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.

What do I do when I receive my order?

Cooking

How to prepare your lobster meat?
  • 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 warming lobster meat, you want a temperature of approximately 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Do not overcook as this will affect the taste.
  • Please view our how to cook lobster meat how-to videos for detailed instructions.
Can I re-freeze lobster meat?
  • 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.
