Thinking About Having Live Lobster Shipped

By Karen Johnson


A large number of consumers buy and enjoy eating fresh seafood on a regular basis as it is healthy. There are many online suppliers who now sell a wide range of fresh fish and seafood and they can have live lobster shipped directly to your door. A lot of customers will now choose to do their food shop on the internet and there are a few things to consider before you order and purchase.

Prior to ordering your seafood from an internet supplier there are few things for you to decide. You should always buy from a supplier that is experienced in supplying quality seafood and who has a good reputation. When you have found a supplier, you can order your chosen products and they will be dispatched overnight and delivered to your address.

When you have logged on to a suppliers web site, you will see pages of their produce featuring photos and descriptions. You are able to order in various quantities and there will be something to suit every ones budget. Most of the companies will also supply a sample pack if you are new to their products and this can be a good way to try some new foods.

You will also find other products offered for sale by the online suppliers and these will include other fish and seafood. Spices and herbs can also be ordered as well as recipe books, fact sheets and cookery videos featuring top chefs. Some of the companies will also sell wines that go well with seafood and these items will be shipped with your main order.

When you have selected your items and placed the order, your freshly caught lobster will be prepared in the factory. It will be packed in special Styrofoam boxes to keep the food chilled and in prime condition. The cartons will then be dispatched and will arrive at your address the following day.

After the ordering process is complete, the supplier will give you a delivery date and you need to ensure that someone will be home. The live lobster should be chilled on arrival, or cooked if you intend to eat it on the day. It can be placed in the deep freeze on arrival but it needs to be eaten within a couple of months so that it retains its full flavor.

A large number of the web suppliers will request you to open an account before you order and make purchases. This is usually a good idea as you may get discounts on your future orders and the company can keep you informed of special offers and new lines. You may also benefit from flexible delivery times and many of the retailers will have a reward point scheme for account holders.

When you are getting live produce sent your house by road, you should always make certain that they are insured. Most supply firms and their couriers will have their own insurance but it can be worth asking them before you order. When your items arrive, you should check it and if anything is wrong then the company should be notified so that they can send you another order or issue a refund.
