Right now, their market has some great deals on lobster tails: you can get 4-5-ounce lobster tails for $7.95 apiece or go big and get a 10-pound crate of the tails for $219.50. That crate is a holiday party ready to go, says New England Lobster owner Marc Worrall.

And if you’re looking for a great gift for those people in your life who are really hard to shop for, you can give the gift of delicious seafood with gift cards to New England Lobster. You can use it as a stocking stuffer or give the promise of a full lobster feast when they cash in their card for New England’s DIY lobster boil in a pot.

Their lobster boil “party in a pot” is all-inclusive and super- easy. Each home lobster boil pot comes with cooking instructions, and you get four 1.25-pound live lobsters, four artichokes, a pound of shrimp, four Louisiana hot links, four pieces of corn, potatoes, onion and garlic.

New England Lobster makes it super easy to order whatever you like online at www.newenglandlobster.net, where you can schedule your curbside pickup. They are also offering next-day local delivery Tuesday through Saturday for $25.

And if you’d like to host a holiday gathering at the restaurant, they have two private rooms available as well as their back patio outdoors. You can serve your guests dishes from the regular menu offerings or do the full New England-style lobster boil with all the fixings.

A premier supplier of Maine lobsters, Dungeness crab and shellfish locally since 1987, New England Lobster does the biggest lobster wholesale and distribution business west of Boston — their facility holds up to 75,000 pounds of the crustaceans. And all of it comes fresh and stays that way until it’s on your plate — the lobster is never frozen. Live lobsters are delivered by air mail from New England daily, year-round, so freshness is assured.
