For us at Lobsterboys, this isn’t just a business—it’s our legacy. Growing up as lobstermen, my brother Travis and I have always understood the beauty and the challenges of the sea. Our deep respect for nature and for those who work tirelessly in the icy, early morning waters drives us to set the highest standards in everything we do. Each lobster we deliver reflects our commitment to quality, sustainability, and respect—not just for the ocean, but for the lobstermen who harvest its riches.
Our passion for the industry inspired us to create Lobsterboys, a brand that blends luxury with environmental responsibility. But it’s also a brand built on partnership. We believe the men and women who do the hard work deserve to be treated fairly and recognized as true partners in this business. From fine dining restaurants and luxury hotels to home chefs, Lobsterboys provides an unparalleled experience, delivering live lobsters that are sustainably sourced, fully traceable, and second to none in quality.
The Lobsterboys Difference: Where Sustainability Meets Luxury
At Lobsterboys, sustainability is a commitment we make to the ocean and to the future of the lobster industry. By supporting eco-friendly fishing methods like trap limits, V-notching, and seasonal closures, we’re not only preserving lobster populations but also promoting healthier marine ecosystems for generations to come.
What truly sets Lobsterboys apart is our approach to partnerships. We buy directly from licensed, commercial lobstermen who uphold these rigorous standards, paying them fair prices that reflect the skill, time, and dedication required to harvest responsibly.
Here’s what you can expect from us:
- Direct Sourcing from Licensed, Commercial Lobstermen: We work directly with local lobstermen, ensuring 100% traceability and fair pricing. This direct partnership allows us to support them with fair compensation, which is essential to maintaining the quality of their catches and sustainable practices throughout.
- Canada’s Maritime Regions: We source exclusively from Canada’s five maritime regions, where strict regulations ensure that every lobster meets high standards for sustainability and quality.
- Quality Assurance through Traceability: Our advanced traceability measures guarantee transparency, compliance, and consumer trust in our sustainably sourced live lobsters. Our cutting-edge traceability processes not only meet regulatory standards, like FDA and seafood labeling requirements, but also enhance our efficiency. This helps us ensure each lobster meets stringent sustainability criteria, giving our customers peace of mind that they’re supporting marine ecosystems while enjoying the freshest, highest-quality live lobster available.
- Commitment to Coastal Communities: At Lobsterboys, we know that fair pay for lobstermen not only promotes sustainable fishing methods but also strengthens the coastal communities that depend on this industry.
Sustainable Lobster Harvesting
Responsible lobster sourcing is at the heart of Lobsterboys. We avoid sourcing from areas like Maine, where unsustainable practices have become a concern. Instead, we focus on Canada’s five maritime regions, where regulations ensure that each lobster meets legal standards for size, is harvested in season, and is rigorously graded.
Superior Packaging for Peak Freshness
Delivering live lobsters requires more than just careful timing; it demands the right packaging. That’s why we usecustom high-density styrofoam boxes that are specifically designed to keep our lobsters cool and protected throughout the entire journey. These boxes provide superior insulation compared to standard packaging, maintaining the ideal temperature for up to 72 hours. This means our lobsters arrive at your door as fresh as when they left the water, ready to deliver the quality only Lobsterboys can provide.
The high-density styrofoam ensures that the temperature remains consistently cool, extending the lobsters' freshness and giving them the best possible conditions for travel. We designed these boxes to be durable and protective, minimizing the risk of damage and maximizing freshness so that you can enjoy the finest culinary experience.
Honoring Our Lobstermen
Lobsterboys exists because of the hardworking lobstermen who braved the cold, early mornings long before we had the chance to turn this craft into a luxury experience. We believe that they deserve fair compensation and recognition for their skill and dedication. By treating them as true partners, we’re helping to sustain not only the ocean but the communities that rely on it. Fair pay empowers our lobstermen to continue responsible fishing practices, preserving the lobster industry for generations to come.
The Importance of Traceability
Traceability is essential to our mission at Lobsterboys. It ensures quality, transparency, and regulatory compliance, allowing us to deliver live lobsters that are as fresh and sustainable as they are delicious. Our cutting-edge traceability processes allow us to monitor each lobster from the ocean to your kitchen, giving consumers peace of mind while supporting the long-term health of marine ecosystems. This approach benefits everyone involved, from the lobstermen to the end consumer, guaranteeing that each lobster is sustainably sourced and of the highest quality.

Investing in Education and the Future of the Lobster Industry
Sustainability is a legacy that must be passed down, and at Lobsterboys, we’re committed to helping future generations understand the importance of responsible fishing practices. Canada’s lobster industry has led the way in sustainable efforts for over 150 years, and through educational programs, we’re ensuring that young people are equipped to continue this work, preserving the industry’s legacy for decades to come.
At Lobsterboys, we’re proud to combine luxury, quality, and sustainability to deliver the finest live lobsters to your kitchen.
