Welcome to Grand Manan Lobster

Where does your food come from? Where do your food dollars go?

More and more these days, food buyers are connecting with local farmers and fisherman who harvest a premium quality, sustainable product.

Buying from Grand Manan Lobster is like buying from a local fisherman in your community. We ship live lobster during two distinct seasons.

You may ORDER LIVE LOBSTER of any size, from 1-1/4 pounds to jumbos through 8 pounds and up. We ship lobsters that are prime and hard shell.

Thoughtfully Harvested: At Grand Manan Lobster, we believe in providing sustainably-harvested, healthful seafood. Grand Manan lobsters are the freshest, highest quality lobsters in the world, caught in the pristine, icy waters around Grand Manan Island off the easternmost coast of Maine.

Every Grand Manan Lobster has a Pedigree: When you buy from us, you will know which lobsterman (or woman) caught your particular order. This gives you, our customer, a "chain of custody" for your lobster. You can feel confident in knowing your harvester and seeing where your food dollars go.

Our unique packaging system is just another way we ensure 100% customer satisfaction.

Exceptional Taste and Freshness: We ship live Grand Manan Island lobster across North America by FedEx to you within 36 hours from placing your order. By shipping overnight, your lobster arrives fresher and tastes better than food shipped long distances with traditional methods of transportation. Local farmers and fisherman can offer food varieties bred for taste and freshness rather than for shipping and long shelf life. Our partnering with FedEx ensures that Grand Manan lobster is actually fresher than what you find at your neighborhood seafood market or, for that matter, any other source in North America.

Sea Salt: We provide Pickering & Griffin Gulf of Maine Sea Salt with your order. Fishermen use seawater to steam their lobsters. At Grand Manan Lobster, we urge you to "salt" your water like we do. This artisanal product is naturally produced in order to maintain its minerals and nutrients. Our sea salt will give you the "Grand Manan Island taste."

Social Consciousness: Grand Manan Lobster is partnering with environmental and other groups that share similar ideals in regard to food and fishing. Visit Our Community and explore links to these special groups and companies. Our commitment extends to the academic community as well. We have pledged $5 per order to the University of Prince Edward Island's Atlantic Veterinary College Lobster Science Centre in Charlottetown, PEI, Canada. This donation will help fund future research for lobster studies and staffing. We believe such small efforts will bring us closer to a sustainable world.

Remember, when you order Grand Manan Lobster, "Your lobster slept the previous night in the Gulf of Maine."
