E-Gift Card

This is a virtual gift card redeemable in our Online Market. We do not offer physical gift cards for our Online Market, but we do offer these for our shacks. 

Unfortunately no, the greeting cards are only sent with physical shipped orders. The e-gift card is sent via email and will not come with a greeting card if selected at checkout. 

No, this gift card is redeemable only at Luke's Online Market. You can purchase a shack gift card online here. 

Seriously, we do. They’ll arrive fresh from Portland Pier, safe and sound on your doorstep.

Refrigerate live lobsters as soon as they arrive! You can put your package directly into your refrigerator, if space allows or transfer them to a lidded pot to store in your fridge. Either way, keep those lobsters cold and cook them within 24 hours! Not sure how to cook live lobster? Check out our instructional video for How to Steam a Lobster.

You will choose your order’s arrival date at checkout from a calendar of available delivery dates, up to 4 weeks in advance! The earliest arrival date is generally two days from when you place your order and delivery is generally available Tuesday through Saturday. Your order may arrive as late as 9PM on the date you select, so plan accordingly! For frozen seafood, we recommend choosing an arrival date 2-3 days prior to when you plan to enjoy the seafood. For live lobsters, order for the date of your event or the day before. 

We ship to all 50 states and Washington, DC. We are not able to ship live lobsters to Hawaii due to local regulations, but all other products are available! We are not able to ship to Puerto Rico or internationally yet. 

Frozen seafood can be just as good as fresh, and in some cases better, especially if your fresh seafood is going through a long transport or distribution process. Our frozen seafood won’t ever be better than truly fresh, but it will be just as good because we freeze it the best possible way. We freeze our lobster in a liquid nitrogen tunnel, the fastest, most high-tech way to freeze in the industry. Lobster meat is very sensitive to freezing and thawing, so to preserve fresh-like sweetness and texture, it needs to be frozen as fast as possible and thawed slowly in your refrigerator for 16-24 hours. We do everything we can to ensure perfectly cooked and expertly frozen seafood and all you have to do is make sure you thaw it nice and slowly in the fridge. Our customers who have tried both our fresh and frozen lobster often say the difference is indistinguishable!

Frozen items should be thawed in a refrigerator for 16-24 hours depending on your fridge. Once thawed, lobster meat and crab meat should be enjoyed within 6 days. Raw seafood products, like our lobster tails, should be cooked within 2 days.  

There are endless possibilities! Visit our recipe page for some ideas from us. Be sure to tag us in your posts @LukesLobster.
