Feeling the Pinch: Struggling lobstermen turning to the Internet to sell catch
How Catch a Piece of Maine Works:
Your lobster trap will be set the day after purchasing and fished for one year. During each fishing trip, your lobsterman will record everything caught from your trap. This data is retrieved when your lobsterman sells his daily catch back at our dock and will be recorded into an online database.
You have a personal lobster account (accessible 24-7) where you can view your trap’s performance (updated every Friday afternoon), manage your catch and schedule shipments with the click of a mouse (shipments may also be scheduled over the phone or by email). Your account will grow as lobsters are caught from your trap and decrease as you request lobsters to be shipped.
You may request your lobsters as soon as they are caught, or you may allow your account to grow and use your lobster at a future date. All shipping is included. Shipments are sent via FedEx overnight delivery throughout the continental U.S.
Simply provide us with the shipping information and we’ll take care of the rest. Live lobsters may be substituted with fresh-frozen lobster tails and fresh picked claw meat. You are guaranteed a minimum of 52 1.5 lb lobsters (totaling over 78bs. worth and also 13 lbs. steamer clams, 13 lbs. mussels, and 52 servings of Maine made desserts).
