History, tradition and origin

Lobster was once so plentiful along the North Atlantic coast that it was everyday food for coastal families and was even used as bait. Canning in the 1800s and then railways carrying live lobster inland turned it into a restaurant treat. Today it is a dish for celebrations: summer shore dinners, holiday tables and anniversaries.

Food economy and industry

Most American lobster is caught in baited traps by small boats from Atlantic Canada and the northeastern United States. Size limits, trap limits and the release of egg-bearing females are used to protect the stock. Live lobster is flown around the world, while a large share is processed into frozen tails and meat.
