Why Buy Maine Lobster Meat Online
Nothing adds flavor and richness to a dish like sweet, tender lobster meat. Harvested from the cold North Atlantic, our Maine lobsters are cooked fresh at the dock, hand-picked for the best tail, claw, and knuckle meat, then frozen and vacuum-sealed to lock in flavor and texture.
It takes about 4 to 5 live lobsters to yield one pound of lobster meat, which helps explain why it’s considered such a premium ingredient. Learn more about lobster yield and how much meat to buy.
Why Our Maine Lobster Meat Is Different
Not all lobster meat is the same. Quality depends on the lobster, how it’s handled after the catch, and how it’s packed and frozen for shipment.
- North Atlantic Lobster — We use cold-water Maine lobster (Homarus americanus), prized for its sweet flavor, tender texture, and firm meat.
- Wild-Caught — Our lobster comes from trusted harvesters working the cold waters off the Maine coast and bringing in their catch fresh daily.
- Packed for Quality — Carefully handled, vacuum-packed, and frozen for convenience, so it arrives ready to thaw and use.
Ideal for lobster rolls, pasta, salads, and other easy lobster dishes at home.

Is This Real Maine Lobster Meat?
The quality of our Maine lobster meat begins with the quality of the lobster itself. Fresh lobster means freshly caught live lobsters — cooked live at the dock, immediately iced to prevent overcooking, and hand-picked on the spot. This careful process helps preserve the sweet flavor and firm, tender texture that make Maine lobster meat so special.
We never use diseased, dead, or dying lobsters, known in the industry as sleepers. Depending on the time of year, some meat may come from soft-shell lobsters, which can be a little softer and more watery than meat from hard-shell lobsters.
Fresh, high-quality lobster meat should smell clean, never like ammonia. When properly cooked, the meat should be tender and slightly springy — not mushy, dried out, or jelly-like. Overcooking can make lobster tough and rubbery.
Why is lobster meat sold frozen if it’s fresh? Freezing preserves the fresh flavor—it doesn’t compromise it. Our lobster is cooked and hand-picked at the dock, then immediately frozen and vacuum-sealed to lock in its sweet taste and firm texture at its peak. Since picked lobster meat is highly perishable, shipping it frozen helps ensure it arrives in the same excellent condition it left in.
Note: Our lobster meat ships frozen to retain its fresh flavor and texture. Order a few days in advance so it can slow-defrost in the refrigerator before use. Learn how to cook lobster tails the right way.

Lobster Meat FAQs
It takes approximately 4-5 lobsters to produce a single pound of picked lobster meat, which is why it's such a premium product. You can read more about lobster yield and value here.
The best method is to defrost overnight in the refrigerator. If you're pressed for time, run cold water (never hot) over the sealed bag in the sink.
If you plan to cook the meat (such as a hot Connecticut-style lobster roll or sautéed dish), the raw claw and knuckle meat is a better choice. If you're making classic cold lobster rolls or want it ready to eat, go with the cooked tail, knuckle, and claw meat.
Our frozen lobster meat can be stored for up to a year in a good freezer.
The cooked tail, knuckle, and claw meat is only available in 2 lb. packages. However, we do offer raw claw and knuckle meat in convenient 1 lb. packs.
A good serving of lobster meat is about 4 oz. per person, so 2 lbs. will serve approximately 8 people. That's enough for about 8 generous lobster rolls.
Yes — we offer cooked tail, knuckle, and claw meat in 2 lb. packages. The 1 lb. option is raw claw and knuckle meat (not cooked).
TCK stands for tail, claw, and knuckle — the three main cuts of picked lobster meat. Our 2 lb. cooked TCK pack includes all three, with an approximate breakdown of 20% tail, 20% claw, and 60% knuckle meat.
All-tail lobster meat is made up entirely of tail pieces, giving you larger, more uniform portions and a more premium presentation. TCK is a blend of tail, claw, and knuckle meat — a classic mix of textures and flavors that works especially well for lobster rolls, salads, and pasta.
Plan on 3 to 4 ounces of lobster meat per roll for a generous serving. That means 1 lb. makes about 4 good-sized rolls, and 2 lbs. makes about 8. TCK meat works particularly well for lobster rolls — the mix of tail, claw, and knuckle fills the roll more naturally than tail-only meat. You can also buy our lobster roll kit. It includes everything you need to make the best lobster roll.
Once thawed, keep lobster meat refrigerated at 40°F or below and use it within 3 to 4 days. For the best flavor and texture, we recommend enjoying it sooner rather than later.
