Experience the Best of Maine and Alaska: Maine Lobster Brings Premium King Crab Legs and Lobster Straight to Your Doorstep

Seafood lovers already know that Maine and Alaska are the best states for crab legs and lobster. Now, even those who live far inland can enjoy the taste of Alaskan king crab and Maine lobster. Maine Lobster Now makes it possible for anyone in the United States to access the finest seafood — and even have it shipped right to their door.

Maine Lobster Now founder Julian Klenda is far from a newcomer to the seafood industry. For over 14 years, he helped manage Klenda Seafood, his parents’ Maine-based wholesale seafood business. Klenda saw the demand for fresh lobster among local restaurants and realized there was a larger market out there — and that the business could reach more customers by selling online.

“I had the idea, and I was always trying to convince my dad to do it,” Klenda says. “He was so old-school that he didn’t even know how to use a computer. So he did everything on paper. When he didn’t want to do it, I started to operate out of his company. I would buy the lobsters and his seafood, box them up, and then sell them online. That was the initial launch of the company.”

Maine Lobster Now streamlines the process of ordering seafood. Customers simply go online, place an order, and schedule a delivery. Because the company ships orders overnight, even customers who live hundreds of miles from the coast can enjoy fresh seafood off the dock.

Klenda launched Maine Lobster Now in 2012. Since then, it has expanded to include many other kinds of seafood, steaks, and even desserts. Lobster remains one of the brand’s biggest draws, but a new addition has been especially popular with customers: king crab and snow crab.

“We now have relationships with Alaskan harvesters,” Klenda says, “so we’re now selling Alaskan king crab. When those king crabs land, we buy them in bulk and get them to customers for a great price.”

Customers care about taste, but they also care about traceability and sustainable harvesting practices. Klenda and his team purchase wild-caught lobsters from Maine fishermen each day. They take the time to carefully evaluate and select each lobster, and a specialized cooling system ensures that live lobsters arrive healthy and ready to cook.

The source and overall quality of seafood matters, but if it isn’t shipped promptly or correctly, the flavor can deteriorate and leave customers with a subpar meal. Thanks to Klenda’s extensive industry experience, Maine Lobster Now ships live, fresh, and frozen seafood in a way that preserves taste and texture. The company goes to great lengths to protect the quality of lobster and other seafood at every turn.

“One of my employees went to school for fisheries management, and he oversees the tank health,” Klenda says. “It’s basically like aquaculture, but we’re not growing lobsters here; we’re just storing them.”

If you’re a seafood enthusiast, you know that every little detail matters, such as where each lobster or crab comes from, how it’s stored and transported, and how quickly it gets to you. Maine Lobster Now takes the time to perfect each of these details, making it simple to get world-class seafood.
