Why Buy Maine Lobster Tails from a Maryland Crab House?
- Straight from Stonington’s Day Boats
- These tails come from the cold, deep waters off Stonington, Maine — America’s lobster capital. We didn’t haul the traps; Maine’s day-boat crews are the best in the world at that. Our long-standing relationships with Stonington’s lobster vendors mean the best of each catch makes it into our orders — and into your box.
- Hand-Picked by Maryland Seafood Experts
- We’re from Crisfield, Maryland — the historic Crab Capital of the World. When you grow up in a town built on seafood, you learn exactly what world-class looks like. That judgment is what we put to work sourcing the best lobster tails on the planet.
- Flash Frozen at the Source — Nothing Added
- Individually flash-frozen within hours of the catch, with zero additives — no STP, no “faked” moisture or weight like grocery-store tails. Just sweet, firm, naturally buttery meat that holds its shape when cooked.
- Shipped Right Since 1996
- We were the first company to ever sell seafood on the internet. Thirty years of packing perishables means your tails arrive frozen solid, on the exact day you choose — and our Mid-Atlantic home puts much of the country just 24–48 hours away with UPS Ground — our most economical option.
- 2,683 Reviews on These Tails Alone
- Part of the 58,000+ reviews our customers have left over three decades — including the dinner-table photos they send after the box lands. Scroll down and see what these tails have done for other families’ tables.

The Original Source for Hand-Selected Premium Seafood
The first seafood ever sold on the internet shipped from right here, Crisfield, Maryland, 1996. The Baltimore Sun wrote it up in 2001; the U.S. Small Business Administration named us Maryland Entrepreneurial Success of the Year. Thirty years, 200,000+ customers, and nine million crabs later, we still run on the judgment you only get from the historic Crab Capital of the World: every order hand-selected by people who grew up around this water, packed by the team that practically invented seafood shipping, and sent straight to your doorstep.
Happiness Guaranteed
The best part of a memorable dinner isn't the seafood, it's the people gathered around the table. Making them happy is the whole point, and we stand behind every box with our 100% guarantee. If anything isn't right, we'll make it right.
