Lobster Seed Fund

It all starts with ice.

In 1946, E. Maynard Graffam Sr. and his partners formed our parent company Penobscot Bay Ice Co., Inc. The business cut ice on Lily Pond and delivered it to the residents of Rockport. Ever the entrepreneur, Maynard expanded the operation to include a lobster shipping plant, Maine Coast Seafood, on Rockport Harbor. From the start, he bought live fresh lobsters from local fishermen.

A family tradition.

After Maynard's death in 1969, his sons Jimmy and Sandy took over the business and renamed it Graffam Bros. Its name reminds us daily of the tradition of quality and service Jimmy and Sandy learned from their dad. Sandy's daughter Kimberlee followed him into the firm and helped bring the company into the retail business by establishing Graffam Bros. Seafood Market—where the next generation of Graffams can often be found helping out.

Market Fresh Across the Country.

The market's reputation for providing high-quality, ocean-fresh seafood brought requests from customers for a place to order cooked meals. Visitors from near and far now flock to the Graffam Bros. Seafood Shack—right across the street from the market—for traditional coastal Maine fare. Building on the values instilled in us by Maynard Graffam Sr. and his sons, we are committed to providing friendly, prompt service along with the best seafood you'll find anywhere.

What Size Lobster is Best?

Check out our handy guide to buying lobster.

What Does "Soft Shell" and "Hard Shell" Mean?

A soft-shell lobster—or "shedder lobster"—has recently molted, or shed its old shell, so it can begin growing a new, larger shell. Hard-shell lobsters have not yet shed, so they are packed very full.

What Makes Maine Lobster Different From Lobster From Other Places?

Since Maine lobsters grow in an ideal habitat, they're the ideal lobsters to buy! They thrive in cold, clear water with the right amount of salinity to create hard shells and delicious meat. You can buy lobster from many different parts of the world, but none will be as sweet and tasty as those from the North Atlantic—and especially from Maine.

My Lobsters Have Arrived but They're Not Red. What's Going On?

Cooked lobsters are red. Live lobsters are usually greenish brown, but there are some rare yellow, white—and even red!—lobsters. Except for the white ones, they all turn red when cooked.

What do Lobsters Like to Eat?

People. Just kidding. Crabs, clams, mussels, starfish, smaller fish, and sometimes even other lobsters! A lobster has teeth in its stomach, not its mouth.

How do Lobsters Find Their Food?

They "smell" food with four small antennae on the front of their heads and tiny sensing hairs that cover their bodies.

How Big are Lobster Eggs?

About the size of a pinhead. A one-pound female lobster usually has from 8,000 to 12,000 eggs attached to the underside of her tail. She carries the eggs for about a year until they are released as larvae. Only about one-tenth of one percent of those eggs will live past six weeks.
