Thinking About Ordering Lobster Online? Read This First.

By Mark Murrell, Founder of Get Maine Lobster

So, you're lobster-curious.

You've browsed the site. You've eyed the tails, rolls, and bundles. Maybe you've even joined our email list. But for one reason or another… you haven’t placed that first order yet.

I get it. Ordering lobster online feels like a leap.

Is it really that good? Will it arrive fresh? Is it worth the price?

Let me walk you through it.

What Happens When You Order Lobster Online (With Us)

First, we don’t cook or pack anything until your order is in. We do it fresh—by design.

Once you check out, here’s what happens:

➜ Your lobster is hand-selected and prepared by expert Maine seafood cooks.

➜ It’s flash-frozen at peak freshness, packed in recyclable, eco-friendly insulation with gel packs or dry ice.

➜ It ships straight to your door, priority overnight service.

No guesswork. No mystery box (unless you want a Mystery Box).

Just pristine, premium lobster from Maine’s first-ever commercial wharf—delivered with care.

"But I've Never Cooked Lobster Before…"

That’s why we make it easy.

We’ve got:

➜ Step-by-step videos for everything from butterflying tails to reheating rolls.

➜ 5-minute meal ideas (hello, lobster roll kits!)

➜ Chef-approved seasoning and simple prep instructions inside every box.

You don’t have to be a chef—you just have to be curious.

Still Wondering Why It Costs More Than Grocery Store Seafood?

Here’s the truthNot all lobster is created equal.

It takes 5–6 full lobsters to make a single pound of claw & knuckle meat.

We don’t use additives or fillers. No shortcuts. Just wild-caught, hand-harvested Maine lobster, prepared by real people who know their craft.
