Beyond the Recall: Why the Best Food Demands Traceability

  • 2 min read

This week’s headlines about radioactive shrimp remind us how fragile our food systems can be. But the real story isn’t about one bad shipment — it’s about how layered, opaque supply chains can compromise what ends up on your plate.
At Lobsterboys, we believe food should be nothing less than elite: direct from the source, uncompromised in quality, and fully traceable. Anything less is settling.

 

When Supply Chains Get Too Long

More than 80% of the shrimp consumed in America is imported. By the time it arrives, it has crossed oceans, passed through multiple processors, and been handled by countless middlemen. That distance erodes accountability. It’s why recalls happen. It’s why food safety becomes guesswork.
This isn’t a one-off issue. It’s a systemic problem when volume and cost come before clarity and care.

Health Isn’t Optional

“The best food isn’t just about taste — it’s about trust,” says Justin, Lobsterboys co-founder. “For me, nothing matters more than health. Clean food that’s never compromised is the foundation of strength — for yourself, your training, your family. That’s the standard we hold.”
Elite food must fuel elite lives. Anything else is a risk.

 

It Starts With the Fishermen

Traceability isn’t a buzzword — it’s a relationship. Travis puts it simply: “It starts with the source. We know our fishermen by name, and they know us. That connection ensures every lobster we ship carries not just quality, but integrity. You can’t fake that.”
Short, direct, and accountable supply chains aren’t just safer — they’re better. They’re the reason our lobsters are considered the best you can buy.

 

Redefining the Standard

The shrimp recall highlights what happens when food is treated as a commodity instead of a covenant. At Lobsterboys, we’re proving that the highest quality seafood is possible only when it’s direct, sustainable, and traceable.
This isn’t about avoiding the worst. It’s about insisting on the best.

 

The Bottom Line

Food that is elite leaves no room for compromise. The very best is harvested in season, by fishermen we know, with every lobster traceable from the boat to your door. We are the only lobster company that does third party testing and has zero mercury, zero heavy metals, and zero toxins.That’s what sets Lobsterboys apart: not just seafood you can eat, but seafood you can trust — the kind of food that meets the highest standard of all: yours.
