Crack into flavor, support local harvesters, and savor Massachusetts’ sustainable lobster year-round.
The “Lobstervore” movement celebrates a simple idea: lobster doesn’t have to be reserved for fancy dinners or seaside vacations. Here in Massachusetts, it can and should be part of everyday life.
Being a “Lobstervore” means more than loving lobster. It means supporting the hardworking commercial lobstermen who’ve stewarded one of the most sustainable fisheries in the world. These harvesters follow strict conservation measures, like releasing egg-bearing females and respecting trap limits, to ensure American lobster continues to thrive for generations to come.
Massachusetts lobster is a local, nutrient-rich superfood with a short supply chain and low carbon footprint. It’s good for your health, your community, and the ocean.
Through public outreach, cooking inspiration, and educational events, the “Lobstervore” movement encourages people to:
- Buy local Massachusetts lobster directly from harvesters or trusted markets.
- Explore lobster beyond the butter, put it in salads, tacos, pasta, soups, and more.
- Learn from commercial lobstermen at fairs, festivals, and community events.
- Support sustainable seafood practices rooted in tradition and conservation.
