On the docks daily for over 25 years, Greenhead Lobster is Maine’s largest family-owned lobster supplier. Nestled in the Gulf of Maine, the Penobscot Bay provides the perfect environment for producing sweet lobster—cold, clean water with rocky, rural shores.
We are the only company that handles every step in-house, from our dock to your door. Wholesale or retail, live or processed, we take pride in our wild-caught Stonington, Maine lobster.
OUR MISSION is to deliver the highest quality Maine lobster to our customers, whether live or processed.
This strive for quality led to the investment in our state-of-the-art HPP processing facility, located just 40 minutes from our docks. Built in 20 19, after over 20 years in the live lobster business, every step of handling and processing is now done in-house.
High Pressure Processing (HPP) is what sets lobster processors apart. Sending live lobsters through our HPP machine is the quickest, most humane transition into the processing line. This stress-free, non-thermal process preserves flavor and texture.
HPP applies enough pressure to break down the connection between the meat and shell. This prevents meat from sticking to shell, and allows meat to be extracted raw.
High Pressure Processing has helped us create higher quality food and offer a wide range of raw, shucked products– perfect for the food service sector and home cooks alike.
