THE HISTORY

With the first documented catch dating back to the 1600s, the Maine lobster industry is one of the oldest operations in North America. As tastes evolved and technology advanced, lobster rapidly rose in popularity throughout the US in the mid-19th century. The first commercial lobster fishery was established in the 1840s and the Maine lobster industry boomed. Off the Dock Lobsters works hand in hand with this industry to bring you its bountiful harvest, sustainably and fresh from the water.
