We ordered live Maine lobster from ShopLobster, and I highly recommend giving them a try if you want to buy Maine lobster online!

I grew up in Maine and we find Luke's Lobster to have very good lobster. They ship direct from Maine when you order and have a shop in Bethesda.

I know a DC bigwig that sends his plane up to fetch fresh lobsters. He should accept orders.

Ooooo this is some of the best advice I've gotten on DCUM. I had to ask a fish monger about buying already cooked lobster at a supermarket. The texture and flavor were so oft..Anonymous wrote:Doesn’t matter where you get them, most important is how long they’ve been out of the water.
If you buy them from a supermarket tank look at the antennae, they should be nearly as long as the lobster and taper down to a point, if they’re short the lobster has been in a pound for months and the other lobsters have been eating the antenna’s. A lobster that has been pounded for months hasn’t eaten for months and will not have that amazing sweet taste.
He explained to me that some places take the lobsters that die in the tank and cook them and sell the meat. Yuck.

Salt River Lobster is the best option I have found if you are in MoCo and willing to deal with their pickup.

I don't know if they are from Maine (likely not, maybe Canada), but we get our lobsters at the H Mart and they have always been delicious, plus you can't beat their pricing.
