The Maderia Legacy

I’m Justin Maderia, and together with my brother Travis, founded Lobsterboys to honor our family’s legacy and make a difference in the seafood industry. Growing up in Connecticut, we were part of a fourth-generation lobster fishing family, working the waters of Long Island Sound. From a young age, we learned to respect the ocean and the delicate balance that sustains it. These values are at the heart of everything we do at Lobsterboys.

Over the past twenty-five years, we’ve watched nearly 99% of local lobster fisheries—including our own family’s—close down due to insufficient regulation, pesticide use, and unsustainable fishing practices. Witnessing these challenges firsthand inspired us to create Lobsterboys—a company founded on sustainability, transparency, and fair treatment for lobstermen. We’re focused on sourcing Canadian lobsters from well-regulated waters, helping us contribute to a healthier, more responsible lobster industry.

Heritage & Sustainability

At Lobsterboys, we proudly blend our family’s rich lobster fishing heritage with modern sustainable practices. By collaborating directly with licensed commercial lobstermen across Canada’s five maritime regions, we offer premium-quality lobsters while supporting the communities and ecosystems that sustain this vital industry.

Direct-to-Kitchen Freshness

Our mission is straightforward: to deliver lobsters that arrive at your door alive, fresh, and bursting with flavor, just as if you had caught them yourself. With meticulous handling, minimal transit time, and stringent quality controls, we are dedicated to providing an unparalleled experience, from dock to kitchen.

Sustainably Sourced Lobsters

We partner with Canadian lobstermen who share our commitment to sustainability, working together to preserve marine ecosystems and protect future lobster populations. Our dedication goes beyond simply delivering a delicious product; we are investing in a sustainable future for our industry.

Premium Canadian Lobsters

Renowned for their exceptional taste and quality, our lobsters are sourced directly from the cold, pristine waters of Canada’s five maritime regions. Each lobster is hand-selected for its hard shell and superior meat-to-shell ratio, ensuring a high yield and an unforgettable dining experience. From harvest to delivery, our rigorous quality control ensures that every lobster reaches your kitchen in perfect condition, safeguarded by our proprietary Styrofoam insulation.

Direct-to-Kitchen Service

By eliminating middlemen and layers of dealers and wholesalers, our direct-to-kitchen service allows us to deliver the freshest lobsters straight from the dock to your doorstep. With 24-hour shipping, free on orders of 100 pounds or more, we provide exceptionally reliable service that makes us a trusted partner for both restaurants and home chefs nationwide.

Commitment to Sustainability

We take great pride in our commitment to sustainability. By partnering with lobstermen who harvest responsibly and adhere to strict guidelines, we help protect marine ecosystems and ensure a healthy lobster population for the future. Collaborating with Canadian and FDA guidelines, we actively contribute to safeguarding our oceans and preserving the quality of our seafood.

Fresh, Live Lobster Delivery Process

Freshness is our top priority. It begins with daily hand-picking and continues through our carefully monitored shipping process. With precise controls on temperature, salinity, and aeration, we ensure our lobsters arrive in optimal condition, delivering a live lobster experience that’s as fresh and flavorful as possible.

Year-Round Availability

Whether you’re sourcing for a hospitality business or cooking at home, you can rely on Lobsterboys to provide high-quality lobsters year-round. While lobster harvesting has peak seasons, sustainable resource management allows us to maintain a consistent stock of fresh live lobsters throughout the year. Our dependable shipping means that, regardless of the season, we’re ready to bring the best of the ocean to your kitchen.

At Lobsterboys, we are committed to delivering the highest quality, sustainably sourced, and freshest live lobsters. We take pride in honoring our family’s heritage while paving a responsible and respectful path for the future of our seas.
