Crack Into Our Best-Seller

Your lobsters are carefully packed in an insulated box with seaweed and will arrive alive – guaranteed!

It’s no surprise that our 2 pound live Maine lobster is our best seller. Robust with meat and packed with flavor, they’re delivered right to your door with one easy click. Give your friends and family a lobster dinner they won’t stop talking about.

Did you know: The Maine fishery is the only one in the world that has limits on both how small and how large a harvested lobster can be. If a lobster falls outside of the select range, it must be returned to the sea. The large ones are protected forever, and will continue breeding their entire lives, for 50 years or more.

 

Delivery

All of our live lobsters are guaranteed to arrive alive. But our commitment to fresh seafood doesn’t end there. When you buy frozen products from ShopLobster, you are still guaranteed that fresh, straight from the sea taste. How can we do that? Please read on.

All of our frozen products are processed in a state-of-the-art HPP processing facility and then flash-frozen in an IQF nitrogen machine. HPP stands for High-Pressure Processing, a cold pasteurization technique, which is extremely effective. It leverages ultra-high-pressure purified water to inactivate bacteria, such as listeria, E. coli, and salmonella. Neutralizing these pathogens allows packaged foods to stay fresh longer.

IQF freezers use liquid nitrogen to freeze small foods that are normally very difficult to freeze well, such as raspberries or seafood. The products are frozen singly rather than in a group, allowing each to keep its individual form, texture and, most importantly, retain its fresh taste.

A Word About Shipping

If you place your order before 11AM, you'll be eligible for next-day shipping. If you order after 11AM, shipping will automatically adjust to the next available date. Also note that in order to preserve the freshness of our products, we do not deliver on Saturday, Sunday or Monday, so please plan ahead!

For some of our customers, Next Day Air and Next Day Air Saver may seem only incrementally different. We include both because in certain locations, Next Day Air Saver is not available.

Best Christmas Lobster Ever
Every year, I host Christmas dinner for 20 to 30 family members. This years “Shop Lobster” (8 oz tails) were the best we had over the past 10 years. I highly recommend Shop Lobster.

Great gifts for the Holidays!
The lobster arrived quickly after my online order, and my friends enjoyed the gift. I was especially impressed by how efficient and reliable the delivery was—everything was well-packaged and perfectly fresh when it arrived. The customer service team kept me updated every step of the way, which made the whole process smooth and worry-free. I truly appreciate the exceptional service and will definitely recommend this company to others.

This was the 4th time that I have purchased lobsters from ShopLobster for a family event. On every occasion the quality of the lobsters was outstanding as was the service at the time of ordering as well as keeping me updated related to delivery information. I strongly recommend ShopLobster and I will be placing my next order for our next family event. Thank you so much.

Bigger than expected
I sent a 10lb case of lobster tails to my mother for Christmas. I didn't want some small 4oz lobster tails like sold in some places. I ordered the 6-7 oz bulk tails and to be honest they were bigger than expected. It wasn't a problem. But did not ship the day they were supposed to. They shipped the next day. Arrived perfect. It's just I wanted to make sure my parents were home to get the delivery.

Excellent each time
I’ve ordered these lobster tails three or four times now, and the quality has been consistently outstanding. Every order arrives on time and is packaged extremely well, keeping everything fresh and cold. The lobster tails are generously sized, meaty, and cook up beautifully. The flavor is rich and sweet on its own—honestly so good that butter isn’t even necessary. This has become my go-to source for lobster tails, whether for a special occasion or just a great meal at home. Highly recommend!

Got Questions About Live Maine Lobster?

Are your lobsters really shipped live?

Yes, 100% live, every time.

Each lobster is hand-selected, packed with cold seawater liners and gel packs, and shipped overnight from Maine. When your box arrives, you’ll open it to find healthy, active lobsters ready to cook.

How do you make sure the lobsters arrive alive and fresh?

We ship only on Monday through Thursday using overnight delivery. Every lobster travels in a temperature-controlled, insulated box that mimics its natural cold-water environment. Our survival rate is over 99%, and we guarantee every delivery.

What should I do when my live lobsters arrive?

As soon as you receive your box, open it and refrigerate the lobsters immediately. Keep them in the box or in a bowl covered with damp newspaper or seaweed. Do not submerge them in tap water. Cook within 24 hours for the best quality.

Can I choose my delivery day?

Yes. During checkout, you can select your preferred delivery date (Tuesday through Friday). We recommend choosing a date one day before you plan to serve the lobster.

How do I cook live lobster?

Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil, then carefully add your lobsters headfirst. Boil for 8–10 minutes for a 1.25 lb lobster, or longer depending on size. When the shell turns bright red and the meat is white, they’re ready.

What makes ShopLobster different?

We’re a family of fifth-generation Maine lobstermen. That means every lobster we ship has been caught, packed, and handled by people who’ve lived this craft their whole lives. It’s the same lobster we serve to our own families, just packed with a little extra pride.
