Our Buy By The Pound Lobster Weight Measurement System

Fresh Live Maine Lobster Sizes & Weights, Lobster count per carton according to size.

We sell by true weight;  system details below

We carefully season our lobsters for 24 hours in clean purified ocean water and then pack our live Maine lobsters in special cell packs made especially for live Maine lobster shipping. The live Maine lobsters are packed into a styro-foam cooler that has individual compartments for the lobster. This provides protection from breakage.

WE SELL ONLY BY EXACT WEIGHT PER POUND NOT BY THE LOBSTER. POSSIBLY THE ONLY LOBSTER WEBSITE COMPANY THAT SELLS BY EXACT WEIGHT FOR RETAIL HOME DELIVERY. THE FOLLOWING IS HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS.

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 sell our wholesale lobsters by the pound (EXACT WEIGHT) which for you the consumer is a very important cost detail.  See the details of why it is important to buy by the pound, click here.
You can order on our web lobster store or  by just calling 800-872-1578 if you want to vary your order by number and sizes.

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.
