When you want to serve a quality meal for any occasion your guest will be very impressed when they sit down to a great lobster dinner. A well prepared, fresh Maine Lobster dinner as the main course is always a grand slam with your guest. Lobster dinners can be served as a romantic meal for two or a backyard BBQ. Many people also serve lobster on days leading to and after Thanksgiving, New Years, Christmas and Valentines Day. Depending on the lobster harvest and weather during those times the prices are usually great so if you’re on a budget it’s a great time to buy. The hardest part preparing for your dinning event can be where and how much lobster to buy. If you are inviting a group of hearty eaters, be prepared with a 2 to 3 lb. lobster per person. If you elect to do a surf and turf dinner you will need to serve at least a 1.5 lb. lobster. When your ready to search the internet and start your search to buy lobster online remember a few basic things listed below. Perform a search for wholesaler of live lobster, wholesale live lobster or live wholesale lobster. The reason we go to the wholesaler is because most of them will sell lobster to you in any quantity provided their site is set up for it. If they ask you to register or call for prices keep looking for a site that wants to sell to you online without having to call them or register to get pricing. Some sites do require the registration just so they can get your shipping address but they ask you during checkout and that’s ok. Once you have narrowed your search between one or two sites start comparing prices and remember to compare if they are selling by the piece or the pound you may need to calculate the two to see who has the best deal. The site should also sell you 1 to 100 lobsters in any size. Make sure they can have it delivered to your home the next day if you place your order with them before 1 pm their time. During checkout you will need to specify a delivery date and whether the ship to address is a home or business. Most lobster companies use Fed Ex to deliver your lobsters so they are always delivered fresh. Live Wholesale Lobster delivery companies will also charge an extra $35.00 for a Saturday delivery. If the plan is to cook your lobsters on Saturday you will be alright for a Friday deliver with a few conditions. When ordering ask for earliest delivery on Friday. Be prepared to cook your lobsters sometime Saturday afternoon or early evening. After receipt you will need to leave them in their box unopened until you are ready to cook them. If you must open the box to look remember. Do not handle them! Don’t take them out and put them in an ice bath! Do not use dry ice on them! Do not put them in a cooler of ice! Do not submerge them in water! Just look at them and verify the ice packs in the box are still cold and seaweed or newspaper is damp and verify they are alive. To verify life you can slightly pull on a claw and the lobster will pull back then they are alive. Depending on what time of year your dinner is you may want to store them overnight in a cool dark place for summer months or as simple as in the garage for winter months. During extreme hot months put them inside next to a cooling vent and throw a blanket over them while in still in sealed box. If you elect for Saturday deliver plan your meal late and be ready to substitute lobster with something else. The reason I say this is because the delivery could get botched due to many factors. If they don’t get delivered on Friday before the time specified you can still call the distributor and have another shipment shipped for Saturday delivery at their expense. If you are planning a large party and need 30#, 60#, 90# and up. If your location is relatively close to a commercial airport and don’t mind picking them up you could save 1 to 2 dollars a pound. Just call the Live Wholesale Lobster company and ask them for a rate to your airport. Remember that the purchase now becomes freight and they like to talk in pounds. A rule of thumb is they can usually get 30# of product in each box or 30 quantity 1# lobsters and so on. The box, ice packs and newspaper are around 20#. So each box is 50# when you go to pick them up. Most airlines have a set price for freight to 150#. So weather you order 50# or 150# the freight cost is the same and you save big on larger shipments. Remember to treat the packages with care when picking them up and delivering them to your party. The airport pickup process is usually very smooth and benefits the wholesaler and the buyer. The airlines will also store the lobster in the cooler until you pick them up so if you can’t pick them up Friday go on Saturday. You also eliminate the Saturday service charges from major delivery companies. Enjoy Your Lobster Meal and Buy Live Wholesale Lobster Online |
