We create a personal relationship between you and your harvester. All of the lobsters caught in your trap will be applied towards your online lobster account to be “spent” however you like. Send lobsters to customers and clients or family and friends as a gift they will never forget. Or enjoy the freshest seafood available for yourself for those special occasions throughout the year.

Receive updates, video emails, and interactions from your lobsterman as you monitor their performance online throughout the season. Learn firsthand who is harvesting your lobster feasts and the eco-friendly manner in which your seafood reaches the dinner plate. Catch a Piece of Maine offers not only the freshest tastes of Maine, but the story and relationship behind the harvest.

Catch a Piece of Maine’s community supported fishery model lets you directly support your lobsterman and the working waterfront of Maine, allowing lobstermen to receive a premium for their product at a time when external economic factors make it hard to make a living from the sea.

Lastly, 10% of profits are donated to the Gulf of Maine Research Institute, a strategic marine research and education institution that helps educate 5th and 6th grade students about the Maine lobster industry. We believe education is an important step in the preservation of our valuable resource.
