Considerations When Having Live Lobster Shipped

By Shirley Edwards


Many people include seafood in their diet for reasons including its health benefits and the freshness of products on offer. Seafood is extremely popular with a lot of diners and there are a number of companies who can arrange to have live lobster shipped to you. More people now choose to have their food delivered for convenience and there are a few things to consider before you place an order.

Many supermarket chains and fish sellers in your area will offer a delivery service when you buy food from them. It is always a better option to use a reputable firm that will specialize in these live products. There are many online supply businesses that will offer these delivery services and there are some wonderful products to be found after doing a little research.

When you are looking at the web pages you will see a list of products along with photographs, details and prices. There are many options for you to choose from including hard shell lobster and tails. You can order in various quantities to suit from a single one pound portion to much larger family packs containing more produce.

There are also other products available to buy from the online firms and these can include sauces and spice mixes to complement your food order. Videos teaching you how to cook your food and interesting recipes are published and will be available for download. Some of the web sites also sell wines that will accompany your seafood and these products will be dispatched with your order.

After making your final selections and placing an order the lobster will be prepared by the company for shipping. It will be sealed in customized food grade containers so it will remain at a constant temperature and retain its freshness. A number of companies will offer free delivery if your order is over a certain amount and this can a money saving way to buy.

If you are having any live products couriered to your home it is essential to ensure that someone will be there to take the delivery. Your lobster should be chilled immediately or cooked for eating. It can be frozen but it should be eaten within approximately two months so that it retains its flavor.

Many of the internet supply companies will expect you to open an account before you place an order. This can have benefits and you may often receive discounts on your future purchases and they will also keep you informed of special offers and new products they may plan to sell in the future. You can also get some preferential treatment when placing your order and you will often receive a faster service.

If you are having live food delivered to your home address it needs to be well insured against loss or damage while in transit. Most courier firms will have adequate insurance but can be well worth enquiring before you book a delivery slot. If any of the food has perished, or the order is wrong when it arrives, you should contact your supplier and arrange a replacement or get your money back.
