A Day in the Life of a Summer Shack Lobster

One of the biggest joys of living on the coast is having access to fresh and sustainably sourced seafood. At Summer Shack, we understand the importance of quality and taste in our seafood, which is why our menu and raw bar are among the best and most fresh in Boston!

Locally Sourced Lobster

In addition to providing fresh, locally sourced lobsters to our customers, we do so for several reasons. Firstly, it supports the local economy and helps small businesses thrive. Secondly, locally sourced seafood is often fresher and of higher quality since it hasn't been transported long distances. Finally, it's also more sustainable and eco-friendly as it reduces the carbon footprint associated with long-distance transportation. Our locally sourced lobsters arrive alive and well at the Summer Shack locations from the sea to the land. 

The Lobster Tank

Once the lobsters safely arrive at our Summer Shack restaurants, they are kept in live lobster tanks. While it may look silly, keeping the lobsters alive until they are needed for a dish allows for a better quality of the lobster. Many fresh seafood species quickly deteriorate in quality after expiry, making live seafood display tanks a far superior option when it comes to preserving the product's freshness and final taste. While adding an additional touch to the ambiance, having a live lobster display allows our chefs to make your visit to Summer Shack a premium dining experience.
