Great Experience

I'd never ordered fresh food on line before. The website was very easy to use. The lobster and clams arrived when they were suppose to & were delicious. I recommend this company and will use them again.

This was a birthday gift sent to…

This was a birthday gift sent to someone else who thoroughly enjoyed. They live in Florida and don't get lobster from New England often. They 💕 the scallops wrapped in bacon too.

Terrible

Terrible, ordered eight lobster and they only sent four and they told me too bad. Very unprofessional. Never will buy from this company again.

These people are the best

These people are the best. I buy Jumbo lobsters from them quite often. Always hard shelled and full of meat. Sometimes I keep them alive for days before the steaming. I know lobsters, I use to catch them. These are the top-quality bugs.
