Sustainable Sourcing

All of our lobster is sourced off the coast of Maine and Canada using sustainable methods including:

minimum and maximum size restrictions for lobsters
v-notching female egg-bearing lobsters to ensure growth of the population
juvenile vents in lobster traps so small lobsters can come and go
limiting the number of lobster licenses given out and the number of traps per fishermen

Shipping

Includes FREE overnight shipping! Our live lobsters ship directly from Portland Pier with frozen gel packs to keep them cool. Frozen items cannot be shipped in the same box as live lobsters, as the lobsters can't be shipped with dry ice, so any additional seafood products you order will be shipped separately from Saco, Maine.

A NOTE ABOUT SHIPPING: Due to heightened delivery volume and unexpected weather delays, we recommend placing your order for delivery at least 2-3 days before your occasion to ensure an on-time arrival. Please note, frozen items will need to thaw upon arrival.

This product ships carbon neutral from Maine to all 50 states. We work with UPS to offset 100% of greenhouse gas emissions associated with our shipments by supporting environmental products that reduce carbon and methane in our atmosphere.

We ship overnight to ensure your seafood arrives 1 day after shipping. We offer FREE SHIPPING on all orders, and do not charge an extra fee for Saturday delivery. You will be asked to select your delivery date at checkout. Delivery is available Tuesday through Saturday in most areas. If selecting a Saturday, you will be asked to check your zip code at checkout to confirm availability. Tracking information will be emailed to you when your order ships.

Hungry Eaters Love Luke's

Best ever!!!

We placed an order for Christmas Eve, it arrived on time and we were able to enjoy. Lobster was delicious! I did send an email to customer service about an issue, but they resolved it right away and were very accommodating. Top notch! Will always order lobster from here!

Perfect purchase! Unmatched service and shipping detail

My family has served lobsters as our Christmas Meal for about 20 years. We have tried having them shipped from Maine, but the shipping was unaffordable. We were getting them at local grocery stores but many don't keep lobster tanks anymore. We go to seafood markets on Christmas Eve, but it's hit or miss if we are able to get enough for the family. So I found several Lobster businesses in a local paper while on vacation in Maine. Luke's was the only one that would have them shipped on Christmas Eve. I got several discounts and with shipping included, it was a perfect deal. I was serving Four families and and was in charge of ordering and cooking. I was worried the lobsters would not arrive alive and I would have no meal. But NO! The lobsters came in just as promised on Christmas Eve and so well packed! All lobsters were alive and the size was perfect! Luke's will be a tradition in my family for years to come!!!

FAQs

Did you say LIVE Lobster?

Seriously. Do you deliver LIVE lobster?

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

How should I store my live lobsters before I cook them?

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.

When will my order arrive?

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 live lobsters, order for the date of your event or the day before.

Where do you ship?

We are not able to ship live lobsters to Hawaii due to local regulations, but all other products are available, but we ship to all other states (and DC)! We are not able to ship to Puerto Rico or internationally at this time.

What should I make with my seafood?

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