The following are the counts and
weight of each size of lobster per carton for one full
carton. Weights though approximate have been carefully calculated by computer from thousands of shipments over several years and are very accurate. Though they can vary by a very small amount ANY DIFFERENCE IN WEIGHT will be corrected back to your card after final weighing during packing. The differences will always be small but it saves on costs and keeps prices under control. An individual packing list with true weight will be at the top of each carton.

We are often asked why Chix weigh 1.19 pounds instead of 1 pound. Well they used to but state law for smallest sized legal lobsters is by length of the lobsters carapace. The state made the length longer hence the weight went up to 1.19 for chix, 1.42 for quarters and 1.65 for halves.

Cull lobsters (one claw lobsters) are
available in small 1.14 lb average to large culls of assorted weights please order by phone only. Culls are less expensive, remember they have only one claw but they generally are a better buy. There is considerably more meat per pound the larger the lobster.
