Live Lobster (S, M, L, XL)
Chefs know that the freshest and tastiest lobster is the lobster that is life, then cooked and consumed the same day.

Live Cornish Native Lobsters are responsibly and sustainably pot-caught by lobster fishermen (who work from small day boats) from the rocky seabed in inshore waters around Cornwall (within Cornwall’s six-mile limit), England. These lobsters are packed live to order and couriered to our clients’ addresses in mainland UK by 12 noon the next day. Once cooked, the lobster meat is fresh, succulent, sweet and subtle in flavour.

We do not supply pre-cooked or frozen lobsters or imported lobsters from outside of the UK.

Available: Seasonal – 1 May to 30 September each year.

In Stock: Yes. At times lobsters may not be available due to adverse tides and/or weather.

Lobster Sizes: Small (500-600g approx), Medium (600-800g approx), Large (800g-1.0kg approx), Extra Large (1.0kg-1.2kg+ approx).

Freshest lobsters possible
Cornish Native Lobsters remain in waters around Cornwall until pot-caught for the market.

Once landed, these live lobsters are taken from the lobster fishermen’ boats and placed in lobster tanks that contain natural seawater for up to 1-2 days. Lobsters are packed whole and live to order (Monday to Thursday), for by 12 noon next day courier delivery to our clients’ addresses in mainland UK (Tuesday to Friday).
