The Lobster Pound
Our Lobsters
Immerse yourself in the authentic taste of the North Atlantic with our Maine and Canadian hard-shell lobsters, celebrated for their succulent, tender meat and rich flavor.
Sourced directly from the icy waters of our local ports, each lobster is carefully selected to guarantee peak freshness and quality.
Experience the true essence of coastal living with every bite, knowing your seafood is sustainably harvested and brought to you with the utmost care and tradition that has been passed down through our family for generations.
Soft Shell vs. Hard Shell
Around the beginning of summer, lobsters wriggle out of their old shell as a part of their growth process. These new shell lobsters spend the rest of the summer & fall growing into their new shell, which grows progressively firmer until they are ready to molt again.
On average, a lobster grows about 14% in length & 50% in weight after each molt.
The Lobster Pound
Our Shellfish
At The Lobster Pound, our passion for the ocean extends beyond lobsters to encompass a delightful array of shellfish, including the freshest mussels, clams, and oysters sourced from pristine waters.
Each shellfish is a testament to our commitment to quality and sustainability, ensuring that every bite offers a taste of the coastal bounty that has been celebrated for generations. Our mussels are plump and flavorful, harvested from clean, cold waters, while our clams provide a sweet and briny essence that embodies the spirit of the sea. For those seeking the ultimate indulgence, our oysters are hand-selected for their exquisite flavor and texture, perfect for savoring on their own or as part of a culinary masterpiece.
With every product we deliver, we invite you to enjoy the rich traditions of our family-run business, where exceptional seafood is more than just a meal—it’s an experience that connects you to the sea.
Did You Know?
You can estimate a lobster’s age by multiplying their weight by 4 & adding 3.
It takes about 7 years (20-30 molts) for a lobster to reach the one-pound market size.
Like humans, lobsters are either left or right-handed depending on which side their crusher claw is on.
A one pound female lobster can carry over 8,000 eggs at one time, however, odds are only one or two will survive to be of legal size.
Lobsters eat fish, mussels, crabs, clams, plankton & their favorite… other lobsters.
Lobsters taste with their feet, breathe & listen with their legs, and their brain is located in the throat.
They have poor eyesight but an incredible sense of smell.
If two lobsters fight and later cross paths again, each will remember the other… maybe they should be more forgiving!
