No other lobster meets the standards set by Legal Sea Foods. And no other purveyor makes it so easy to buy online. Our live lobsters are unparalleled for quality, freshness, sustainability, and sheer flavor and we select only hard-shell prime lobsters from cold Atlantic waters!

We developed the mail-order delivery model. Our lobsters are handled with care and packaged with state-of-the-art technology to ensure they arrive in perfect condition. If you like, we can pre-cook them, but why not experience the thrill of preparing them yourself? It doesn't take special skill. We'll guide you through the simple process, and you can have fun playing chef at home. Won't your guests be impressed when you pull glistening bright-red lobsters from the pot and douse them with melted butter or a squeeze of lemon? It's a celebratory meal like no other. And Legal Sea Foods is the only one to ship seafood dinner perfection with a taste-test guarantee.

Whole Lobster and Lobster Bisque

Jan 4, 2021 | By Martha Ballengee

I sent these as a Christmas Gift to dear friends of mine. It was a big hit. They said it was like returning to Bar Harbor. Everything was excellent!

Perfect for any celebration!

Legal Seafood has been a part of our family holiday celebration for years! There is no other clam chowder like this. Delicious. Rich. Full of clams not filler. Always prompt with shipping and their customer service is friendly and helpful. We have had our orders shipped all over the USA, including a very secluded mountain resort and still arrived!

I went to college in Boston so I know how great the seafood is. My sister and her family loved the live lobsters, we could not be together for Christmas because of the pandemic

Lobster for Two

Jan 2, 2021 | By George Giacoppe

My brother and sister-in-law were delighted with the just before Christmas gift of pre-cooked Lobster for two. The lobsters were fresh and there was no hassle for cooking and by their description, had two meals each including sandwiches on the second sitting. Given my brother's age, this was a treat and a blessing without the risk of boiling water and delicate handling of the process. It is worth doing for the quality and safety it provided.

Lobsters!

Jan 2, 2021 | By Robert Johnson

Lobsters from Legal were great. We ordered 4 - 2 1/2# and some shrimp. Everything was delicious. Only issue was FedEx delivered a day late. Our guess was holiday package traffic. Second time we ordered from Legal and would do it again. Everyone was very helpful.

Perfect

Jan 2, 2021 | By Lisa Bozzella

I ordered 1.5lb cooked lobster. They were perfect. My adult children split and did all the work to create fresh baked stuffed lobster. They were perfect, fresh and delicious!

Simple and Delicious

We ordered lobster to our cabin in big sky for Christmas Eve dinner. Super easy to order online. Arrived exactly when scheduled. Lobster was fresh and tasty. Great to experience. Now kids want lobster for all special occasions.

Excellent Lobsters

Jan 1, 2021 | By J.Q.

Everything was great with this purchase of lobsters from Legal Seafood. The shipping was fast and packaging for keeping the lobsters frozen was excellent. The lobsters had a great taste as if they were just cooked on our stove. I highly recommend Legal Seafood for your lobster purchase!

awesome lobster

Jan 1, 2021 | By sandy

The two lobsters were for our 48th anniversary dinner. The two we ordered were 1.5 lbs each. They were prime lobsters, packing and shipping was exceptional. We will definitely order again.

Excellent surprise for my family

Dec 21, 2020 | By Michelle

I ordered live lobster to be delivered after a recent trip to Boston. It was suprise for my family. My kids have only seen lobsters in the case at the super market. My order arrived in plenty of time to be prepared for dinner. Everything was amazingly fresh, and very well packaged. I can't wait to order again.

Delicious!

Living far from the ocean it's nice to get a fresh treat every so often. Legal never disappoints! We enjoyed our lobsters and they arrived when we requested them to.

Lobsters and cocktail shrimps

Oct 8, 2020 | By Ellen Gloriani Kluber

Lobsters were cooked just right and quite fresh! Cocktail shrimps are colossal size. Always a pleasure when I get these as gifts from my favorite Aunt and Uncle.

PERFECT!

Jun 27, 2020 | By Paul Coughlin

Legal shipped lobsters and chowder from Boston to my brother in Los Angeles. It was for his birthday. Arrived when they said it would, and he said it was perfectly packed. He was thrilled. Fantastic seafood and it made his day! DO IT! I will be using them again!!

Great service

Mar 7, 2020 | By Gerry

I purchased lobsters a couple of months before Valentines Day. Right before V Day, I started seeing adds for a certain percentage off. I emailed and asked to get that discount and they took care of it immediately! Of course the Lobsters were fresh, alive and delicious!

Excellent!

Mar 3, 2020 | By Helen

It was easy to call (I did have to wait awhile to talk to a customer service person) and use the gift certificate to get the lobsters. The lobsters came on the day it was promised, and I received an email to let me know. The quality of the lobsters were excellent! Thank you!

great food!

Feb 25, 2020 | By Loretta Purcell

Thank you for the great response. Love the overnight service and the lobsters were awesome. We liked the bibs and crackers that came with the lobsters. We recommend Legal Seafoods to everyone. Great customer service!

So yummy

Feb 24, 2020 | By Teresa

Purchased a couple of 2lb lobsters for our Valentines/Anniversary dinner. It was as if we were in Boston at legal seafood! We were not disappointed. Sweet, tender lobster. We paired it with drawn butter, mini red potatoes and asparagus spears. Coupled with a beautiful champagne and we had a memorable dinner!

Alive and kickin'

Feb 24, 2020 | By Sheba Mohsin

That's how the lobsters arrived. I cooked 2 the same day and kept 2 in the fridge for 1.5 days and they remained that way. Most delicious meat !!!!

Lobster is Delish!!!

The Lobsters made it to Florida fresh and cooked to perfection, thank you.

Generally great

Feb 17, 2020 | By Patricia McKeown

Came on time, chowder was, as always, wonderful. Unfortunately, one of the live lobsters arrived dead. I called the company and they promised someone would call me. So far, have heard nothing. In general, I am happy with Legal Seafood.

Please with Lobster Order

Jan 4, 2020 | By Patrick Shaw

We ordered four 1.5 lb live lobsters to have for dinner on Christmas Eve. They arrived mid-day and the lobsters were active and fresh. We steamed them and they were very flavorful and tasty. Everyone was happy. I have ordered lobster for my family many times and Legal Seafood is really great. I could order lobster from a few places within driving distance but they are alwasy bland and tasteless.

Great Customer Service

Jan 3, 2020 | By George Rich

We ordered 6 two pound lobsters for Christmas but unfortunately FedEx had a 24 hour delay in Indianapolis so the lobsters were dead on arrival. A call to Legal Seafood Customer Service quickly remied the situation at no additional cost. The lobsters were shipped immediately and arrived two hours before our dinner Christmas Eve. The lobsters were excellent! Given this experience and the "no questions asked" customer service we will definitely be ordering again.

Delivery

Jan 3, 2020 | By Christopher Mantzaris

Lobster order was delivered as scheduled and lobsters were still fresh. Cooked then up right away and enjoyed lobster and lobster rills over the next few days.

Birthday gift

Dec 6, 2019 | By Dawn Florek

The lobsters arrived perfectly and ALIVE! my niece was so EXCITED to receive this gift as she lives in Texas now, she misses the new England seafood and even though her clam chowder ( promotional gift ) did not arrive with this order , after I contact Legal they graciously sent it out to her right away and she was extra thrilled. I highly recommend legal for all occasions and their customer service is outstanding.

the lobsters and chowder were greatly appreciated arrived in perfect shape.

What a gift

Aug 27, 2019 | By Molly Breen

Rcvd gift certificate for Christmas and what a gift! We couldn't have been more pleased. Lobster was fresh, alive and active. Glad there was a catalog in the box because we are already planning our next "seafood dinner". Thanks Legal seafood for such great food and service!

Perfect execution

Aug 18, 2019 | By Robin DeMonia

I ordered live lobsters as a special treat for my family and couldn't have been more pleased with the results. The lobsters arrived when promised, with everything we needed for a special feast. Absolutely no complaints here!

Success!

Aug 15, 2019 | By Daniel Dress

My family flew in from New England to enjoy a pool party starring steamed lobsters. They all thought it was the best ever. Thank you Legal.

A little bit if Boston in Colorado!

Aug 9, 2019 | By Christy Holbrook

Delicious whole lobsters that arrived alive in the Rocky Mountains. Our resident expert lobster preparer cooked them to perfection. My only disappointment was that I received a coupon from Legal for 20% off any order the day they arrived. That would have been nice to apply it towards the 6 live two pound lobster order.

Great Gift

Jul 15, 2019 | By Sandra

My friends loves all the items we sent as a gift The presentation was terrific and the taste equally as good.

Great delivery!

Flawless delivery to MN; sister loved them!

1st Timer

Apr 12, 2019 | By Marie Lillig

Enjoyed all that was shipped to our home. The Clam Chowder was incredible. Lobsters were great, but 2 of the 6 were mush after boiling. Could have been our fault? The container / box arrived split open on the side and was soaking wet. Maybe reason for the 2-mushy ones, as ice completely gone. Lobster Bisque was amazing. Thank you for the experience!

Very good seafood

Apr 8, 2019 | By Lauren Binder

We ordered 2 two pound lobster. It was shipped in 1 day. It was very fresh and delicious. They sent a complimentary 32 oz container of clam chowder. That was awesome tasting!

Great!

Mar 30, 2019 | By Laurie Glissman

Delivery was as promised. Lobsters were packed on dry ice. They were large with a lot of meat (1.25#). Taste was delicious. Came with buns and crackers and great directions for cooking. Can't wait to order again!

Fun

Whole Lobsters

Jan 21, 2019 | By Stacia Markowitz

I so enjoyed my lobsters. They were fresh and sweet tasting. I do think they are pricey, so will only get them as a treat, but worth the $$ for a treat.

The lobsters were delicious!

Best ever gift

Jan 7, 2019 | By Sally Haskovec

I sent a lobster bake meal to my in_laws for a gift. It was perfect for those hard to shop for who have everything and dont want anything. The dinner arrived right on time and they enjoyed it tremendously. Even split it up for 2 meals. They reported the chowder was jam packed with clams. Well worth it!

Dec 16, 2018 | By Sheila creveling

Since I definitely live far away from the seashore but live there previously I have missed all the wonderful Maine lobsters and all the good seafood so I recommend this company everything arrived as it should and it was well packaged and I received it the day that I wanted it

Perfect gift for cousins hosting the annual family Party

5 out of 6

Dec 3, 2018 | By Skylar Friden

Ordered 6 lobsters. Fast overnight shipping arriving on time. 5 of them were alive and tasted great. One poor guy was dead and must have been for sometime, as it cooked and was flaking, nasty. I will probably go through legal sea food again, just slightly disappointed with the one dead lobster at a premium price.

Lobsters for Dad!

Nov 25, 2018 | By Lilly Siu

My father is a big fan of lobster so for his 85th birthday I sent him and my mom two lobsters. I ordered them pre-cooked s my parents are elderly and I didn't want to have them bother with the cooking. To my (and their surprise), they received two live lobsters. They had it cooked at a nearby restaurant and all was well in the end. Customer service was very helpful in listening to my issue and rectifying the situation.

Lobster order

Oct 29, 2018 | By Tim McCaffrey

While the quality of the lobster is very good, this is the second time that I have ordered two one and a half pound lobsters and one of the lobsters was clearly less than one and a half pounds.

Same

Oct 1, 2018 | By James Murtha/Elaine Bose

My 97 year old fatber, an old Bostonian, residing in California has two rotating caregivers. Neither had ever eaten a whole lobster or "real" clam chowder......well they have now...... and I'll never hear the end of it Now its........when are we gonna do it again? Jim, who I told you knew Paul Revere, is looking forward to his 98th year annual birthday lobster in December! Glad the shipping rates got lowered....every little bit helps! The meal was a 10 on a 5 scale!

Receiver

Sep 25, 2018 | By Maryann Doucette

Wonderful customer Service since our lobster was not moving at first they gave us a gift certificate even though it did move a little and I ate it. It was kind of broken up, poor thing. Thank you so much.

Great Customer Service

Sep 21, 2018 | By Keara Gaffey

I ordered Lobsters and Chowder for my parents who live in Florida as an anniversary Gift. Unfortunately they arrived dead which limbs falling off and no chowder which was disapppointing due to spend so much money on the food and shipping! Thankfully i spoke to the kindest who in customer service willing to help resolve the situation. She ordered new lobsters which are set to arrive today ( alive hopefully!).

Pricey but worth it

Sep 17, 2018 | By BC Cloutier

We bought a 12 pack of pre-cooked lobsters for a party and it was a great decision. Not having to hassle with cooking and the smell that comes with it was a joy. The ordering process was simple and delivery was as promised. While we paid a premium price for what we received, on balance it was worthwhile.

Whole Live Lobsters

Sep 10, 2018 | By Regina Wilson

Have been ordering lobsters from Legal Sea Food for years an years. Have visited your restaurant in Boston and also purchased live lobsters at the airport and ordered them for each special occasion. I have never, never been disappointed. Outstanding!!

I am so happy to be able to fly in fresh seafood to the desert! Lobster did not disappoint, online ordering a breeze.

Nothing but the freshest

Aug 19, 2018 | By Regina Wilson

After visiting your restaurant in Boston years ago, all special occasions consisted of Lobsters from you. Always fresh and Kicking (sorry) do miss the seaweed in the box. Adds a lot of flavor when steamed. This is over 40 yrs. Have you ever had live lobsters in a carton getting on a plane, I have in Boston!

Quality Lobster

Aug 14, 2018 | By Elizabeth Wilson

I feel like Legal Seafoods may be on the pricey side of options out there, but everything arrived on time in excellent condition. The lobsters were perfect and plenty lively when we opened the cooler!

Live lobster

Very satisfied with my purchase Lobster was still alive and we really appreciated everything that came in the box to help eat it

There was no doubt that those two feisty guys were alive and kicking. We followed your instructions for cooking them. Can't imagine anything better.
