Luscious Lobster Tails
Lobster Perfection
Our succulent lobster tails come from the same superb local catch we sell live: they're meaty hardshells from Cape Cod's Atlantic back shore. These, we steam to perfection, quick-chill, and neatly shell for you. They are sealed and ready to eat in a cold lobster salad... or warm them gently in drawn butter.

Lobsters
(Homarus americanus)
Lobsters inhabit the bottom of the Atlantic from Labrador to Cape Hatteras. Ours are from the Outer Cape’s back shore, except during the winter whale migration, when we keep you in lobsters from deeper waters.
- Live lobsters sport various colors: brown, green and even blue (that's rare); when cooked, they all turn bright orange-red.
- Our lobsters are trapped (except when gear is lifted for the whales, we do buy deep-water trawled lobsters), using gear modified to avoid whale entanglement.
- Fishwatch—the National Marine Fisheries Service sustainability report—lists lobster in our northern range as healthy.
