Details

Whether deep into a hot summer day or midway through a snowy winter, you can serve fresh lobster tails year-round with Boston Lobster Company 8-10 oz. lobster tails. Lobsters are famously known as a delicacy, and these lobster tails are no exception; customers crave this rich, plump, and subtly sweet crustacean. These lobsters are caught in the natural salt waters of Cape Cod, Maine, and Canada, and are shipped frozen to your establishment for the freshest possible tasting lobster. From there, store in freezer bags with as much air removed as possible and place in your freezer.

Lobster tail meat is extremely sought after, giving your customers a plump and firm texture with a subtly sweet taste. Cooking applications for lobster tails are wonderfully versatile as lobsters cook well when boiled, broiled, steamed, and grilled. This creates a clean-tasting lobster with a firm and supple texture; these are the ideal characteristics of the protein you want to serve to your customers. Lobsters pair very well with hearty grains that have a definitive bite, such as rice, al dente pasta, or firm barley. Vegetables that enhance the richness from lobster meat vary quite a bit; asparagus, potatoes, green beans, broccoli, or fresh and crispy leafy greens all let the flavor of the lobster stand out. When selecting fresh herbs, lean more towards balancing varieties such as aromatic tarragon, bright parsley, and comforting thyme. Lobster also pairs excellently with dairy, such as creamy soups and sauces or herb-infused butter. Whatever you pair it with, hit the lobster with a squeeze of lemon to brighten up the subtly sweet and rich meat.

For perfectly broiled lobster tails, preheat your broiler and place your lobsters on a baking sheet. Cut a long slit lengthwise along the top side of the lobster's shell and carefully pull shells apart slightly. Brush with a marinade of butter, garlic, lemon, and parsley along the meat and broil lobsters until they are slightly brown and the meat is tender. Adding lobster tails to your dish instantly enhances the overall flavor and appeal of any menu item. Showcase the beautiful lobster tail on its own, or create traditional East Coast-based seafood dishes such as lobster rolls, surf 'n turf, and New England clambake.

Since 1986, Neil Zarella has been in the lobster business, creating a company that's centered around the East Coast ideology of hard work and dedication to an honest day's labor. Straight from the source where lobsters are famously fresh and abundant, Boston Lobster Company harvests lobsters utilizing a strategic method that supplies the strongest and heartiest lobsters all year-round from their pools located in Nova Scotia. With their headquarters being conveniently situated near Logan International Airport, they're able to distribute their high-quality lobsters within minutes, providing fresh, hard-shell lobsters to businesses everywhere, moving the company to become one of the most sought-after lobster suppliers in the world.

These little tails are so good! Super sweet and tender I could literally eat 5 or 6 of these at a time. You get so many in a case, my family loves them. This definitely a great buy for all year around. But I love them in the summe, we through them on grill when we do cook outside. Our guest love them we definitely get lots of compliments. Most ppl don't get expect to get lobsters at cook out.but at these prices why not give your guest these delicious lobsters tails.

Horrible is the best way to describe these. I have tried cooking them several ways. The meat is a dingy color, tough, stringy, and it taste bad. When you pull the tail out of the shell it is black near the edges and looks gross. The must be old and freezer burned or something but I will never buy these again. My wife wants me to throw the rest away.

These tails do not disappoint. Too large for an adult. Maybe 1/2 tail and a small steak would be a huge meal. They are bigger than any I've seen in any restaurant in any part of the world. Flavor and texture are what one would expect from a gourmet restaurant splurge. Shipping was 20 hours Boston to Tulsa in 104 degree heat. Still frozen solid. Well packed and insulated. Box of 9 tails. Compare with a days wages in a seafood restaurant if you could find this size. Doubt I will find better or less expensive.

Product came in an cardboard styrofoam airbox, and takes very little time to prep. I pre-thawed the tails in refrigeration prior to cooking, they were succulent and fresh. Can easily be prepped and used as a stuffed tail or go great as a surf and turf option.
