Lobster Tails, 7-8 Oz.
Lobster Tails, 7-8 Oz.
How does that work?
This is the same way you have always been charged at our counter — the scale decides, not the sticker. The released amount usually clears your statement within one to five business days, depending on your bank.
Picking up? Same thing — we hold, then charge what your order weighed. You will not be asked to pay again at the counter.
Seven to eight ounce tails. The right size for one person.
Cold water lobster tails, which have firmer, sweeter meat than warm water tails — the cold slows the animal's growth and tightens the flesh. Seven to eight ounces is a single generous serving.
How to cook it — Broil or grill, butterflied
Cut down the top of the shell with shears, lift the meat up to sit on top, and broil six to eight minutes with butter until the flesh is opaque and reads 140°F. Overcooked lobster turns rubbery and there is no coming back from it.
Good to know
- $39.99 per pound. Each piece runs 0.38–0.52 lb, about 0.45 lb typical
- Cut fresh at 700 Atlantic Street, Roseville — never pre-packed
- Vacuum sealed the morning it leaves
You pay for what you actually get
Everything here is cut by hand, so no two pieces weigh the same. This is the same way you have always been charged at our counter — the scale decides, not the sticker.
When you order online we place a hold on your card for the top of the weight range shown above. Nothing is charged yet. Once your order is cut and weighed we charge the actual weight, and the rest of the hold is released back to you the same day. It usually clears your statement within one to five business days, depending on your bank.
You are never charged more than the hold, and you are never charged for meat you did not receive.
How it gets to you
Pickup at the counter, usually ready in two hours. Local delivery is free over $89 — order by 4 PM and it arrives the same evening. Shipping is free over $149 in the West and over $249 everywhere else in the lower 48. Boxes go out Monday through Thursday to the West and Monday through Wednesday everywhere else, packed in an insulated box with gel packs so it arrives cold.
Family-owned at the same address since 1946.

Questions: 916.782.2705
Every cut cooks differently. Steaks want high heat and a rest before cutting. Roasts want low and slow. Fish wants less time than you think.
Our step-by-step guides are under Learn: Cooking Methods covers the six ways to cook beef and which cuts suit each, and Cooking Directions has times and temperatures for the most-asked cuts, including poultry, lamb and seafood.
Not sure? Ask at the counter or call 916.782.2705. Someone who cut it will answer.
Every order is cut, vacuum sealed and packed the day it leaves. Shipped orders go in an insulated box with gel packs and travel Monday to Thursday in the seven Western states and Monday to Wednesday everywhere else, so nothing sits over a weekend. Local orders ride in our own van the same day.
