Why Buy Maine Lobster Meat from a Maryland Crab House?
- Straight from Stonington’s Day Boats
- This meat comes from lobsters caught in 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 meat on the planet.
- Picked and Frozen at the Source — Nothing Added
- Claw and knuckle meat picked from whole Maine lobsters and quick-frozen at the source, with no additives and no preservatives. Just sweet, tender meat, out of the shell and ready for the recipe — no cracking, no picking, no mess.
- Shipped Right Since 1996
- We were the first company to ever sell seafood on the internet. Thirty years of packing perishables means your lobster meat arrives 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.
- 58,000+ Reviews Over Three Decades
- Our customers have left more than 58,000 reviews over thirty years — including the dinner-table photos they send after the box lands. It’s the same team, the same standards and the same Stonington lobster behind every bag.

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.
