Lobsters to Go!
 
Anyone know of a place to get live lobsters near Warwick or Providence? Need them to be packed in ice to take back to the West Coast. Thanks

Legal seafood in Boston mails lobsters.

PSCSB, when we were just in the area north of Boston, we bought lobsters at a major supermarket for a very reasonable price. Great price/great lobsters. We had previously made a special trip to a seafood market to get them, but the lobsters were just as nice from the supermarket. Maybe you could check out the supermarkets in Warwick/Providence area?

James Hook Co. (jameshooklobster.com) is the place to get Lobsters packed to travel in Boston. When you walk into the back of a warehouse full of Lobster tanks with low prices scrawled on an old blackboard, you know you've cut out the middle man. They packed my Lobsters in a carry on box that rode back to Washington in the overhead bin. None fresher and much cheaper than the airport shop or Legal. Order online too.

Northern Lobster & Seafood
2275 Warwick Avenue, Warwick, RI 02889
(401) 272-6378. Excellent, fresh lobsters, little necks, etc. They will also ship them anywhere in the country for you. I order them shipped to the West Coast several times a year (for the past 6-7 years.) They are very well-packed and still alive when we get them. Enjoy!

Thanks for the responses. I have called the place in Warwick and it is workable as long as we have time to get there before the flight. Last lobster buy did not go so well. " Unnamed overnight carrier" got it there in three days!
