Average weight per lobster is between 1.25 and 1.40 pounds. In New England the one and a quarter pound lobster is called a "Quarter". A single quarter lobsters is great for people with a smaller apatite, or when complimented with steamer clams or other shellfish. Every order includes cooking and handling instructions! All lobsters are packed in reusable insulated containers with ice packs and thirsty pads.
