Things To Consider When Having Live Lobster Shipped

By Shirley Edwards


Many people include seafood in their diet for reasons including its health benefits and the freshness of products on offer. Seafood is extremely popular with a lot of diners and there are a number of companies who can arrange to have live lobster shipped to you. More people now choose to have their food delivered for convenience and there are a few things to consider before you place an order.

Fresh seafood is available in supermarkets and stores all over the world and many of these retailers will offer a delivery service. If you are ordering items such as lobster it is highly recommended that you use a business that specializes in this type of food. There are a large number of online retailers that can supply live lobster and have it shipped to your home address.

When you are looking at the web pages you will see a list of products along with photographs, details and prices. There are many options for you to choose from including hard shell lobster and tails. You can order in various quantities to suit from a single one pound portion to much larger family packs containing more produce.

Other products are also offered for sale on the web sites and these can include other fish, sauces and herbs to go with your chosen dish. Informative books can also be purchased and tutorial DVD's are available to buy. Many of these sites also offer fine wines that will complement your order and these will be shipped along with your order.

After you have placed your order, the suppliers will prepare the days catch for immediate dispatch. Your food will be boxed in special Styrofoam containers to keep it fresh while it is in transit. The cartons will be collected by their courier and delivered to your chosen address. Some of the supply companies may offer free or discounted carriage if the order is of a higher value.

When you have your delivery date, it is imperative that somebody is at your house to take in the order. Your lobster should be chilled on arrival before cooking, or frozen to be cooked at a later date. If you decide to cook and freeze it you should endeavor to make sure you eat it within around 8 weeks so that it will retain the flavor.

Many of the internet supply companies will expect you to open an account before you place an order. This can have benefits and you may often receive discounts on your future purchases and they will also keep you informed of special offers and new products they may plan to sell in the future. You can also get some preferential treatment when placing your order and you will often receive a faster service.

When you have any kind of live food shipped to your house it should always be properly insured in transit and this is of the utmost importance. Most of the supply companies should have shipping cover but you should always check with them. If your order is wrong when it arrives or the food has perished, you can email or call the company and they should arrange a full product replacement or a refund.
