Catch A Piece Of Maine

Great Maine company! I'm from Maine but now live in Chicago and I wanted to throw a classic lobster bake for my Midwestern friends. I ordered klobsters, steamers & mussels for 30 people and everything arrived on time, alive and it turned out delicious! The customer service was great when I needed to adjust the order I originally placed. Highly recommended!

There are several companies that ship lobster and other shellfish from Maine to other American cities. They're all reasonably expensive - after all, they're shipping live lobster, clams and other things directly to you. You can't really judge them on price - but you can judge on quality. THis is the best of the bunch. THey will ship lobsters, crab claws, clams, mussels, shrimp and other locally-caught seafood directly from their shop (right across from the dock on the Portland waterfront) to you. The lobsters always arrive alive and healthy and clean, 24 hours and sometimes less from when they were caught. For under $200 you can have 4 1-person-sized lobsters and a pound each of mussels and clams and crab claws, as well as bibs, shell-crackers, wetnaps and a picture of the fisherman who caught your lobster with a personal note and a map where he shows exactly where and when yours was caught. In fact, lately, they've sometimes offered this as part of a groupon for under $150, which is a fantastic deal (it includes overnight shipping). We got the 4-lobster and misc. shellfish selection as a 10-yr anniversary gift from my parents and it was one of the best gifts we've ever received - we enjoyed it with 2 friends and everyone had a fantastic time. I will absolutely use Catch a Piece of Maine again in the future.
