What’s Safe To Eat On A Lobster:
Are the eggs inside the tail edible?
Yes. However, if the eggs are black, it means your lobster isn't cooked enough. Cook the lobster until the eggs turn RED! Red eggs, or “lobster caviar,” are delicious and fine to eat.
What about the green stuff (tomalley)?
Tomalley is the liver of the lobster, located between the tail and the body. Many people love it and consider it a delicacy. Some do not like it and discard it.
What’s the white stuff on the lobster meat?
That is the fat from the lobster, which can stick to the meat. It is normal and can be eaten or discarded. If you’re preparing cooked lobster meat for later, a great way to remove the fat is by placing the cooked meat in a bath of salty water and gently rubbing it off.
Storage Instructions:
We recommend enjoying your lobsters the same-day you receive them. However, what if your event is on Monday and you receive your lobsters on Friday? How do you keep those lobsters alive for three days?
Answer: You don’t! You “Blanch” them. Thanks to some genius chefs, there is a way to make your whole live Maine lobsters last more than 3 days and still taste like it just came out of the ocean.
Blanching is easy:
- Boil water: add 1 tablespoon of sea salt per 2 quarts of water.
- Place lobsters in boiling water. Best to do 2 at a time for optimal blanching.
- Cook for 2 minutes ⏲. This is just enough time for the lobster meat to slightly cook and separate from the shell.
- Set up an ice bath for the lobsters.
- After 2 minutes of cooking, place lobsters in ice bath for 10 minutes.
Then, depending upon when you want to serve your lobsters:
- Within 48 hours: Wrap in kitchen towels & place in fridge until ready to use.
- Post 48 hours - 3 weeks: Wrap & Freeze; Slow-Thaw in fridge for 24 hours before preparing.

WILD CAUGHT BY HAND, SUSTAINABLY HARVESTED
Sustainability efforts of the Maine Lobster fishery began in 1872, when the first law was passed to protect the resource for future generations. Maine lobsters are hand-harvested from small day boats & caught one trap at a time with strict requirements on size & breeding status. We’re proud to be part of this heritage.

Is Maine Lobster A Superfood?
We certainly think so! But you don’t have to just take our word for it. Maine Lobster is naturally rich in zinc, Vitamin B12, Magnesium, Phosphorus, and Omega-3 fatty acids. It’s also low fat, high protein, and contains fewer calories than lean beef, chicken, and pork!
