Picked lobster meat
Picked lobster meat in Waterboro
Skip the cracking and get straight to the lobster. Perry Butcher Co. sells freshly picked Maine lobster meat when it is available, ready for lobster rolls, chowder, entertaining, or any recipe where you want the meat without the shell work.
Picking lobster is genuinely slow work. An hour of it gets you less meat than you expect, and if you are feeding a crowd it turns the meal into a project. Buying it already picked is not a shortcut so much as a different plan: you spend the afternoon on the rolls rather than on the shells.
Because it depends on what has come in, picked meat is not on the counter every day. Call before you build a menu around it.
What people use it for

- The obvious one, and the reason most people buy it. No cracking for a crowd.

- Folded through at the finish rather than cooked in.
- Entertaining
- When you want lobster on the table and not an hour of shell work in front of guests.

How picked meat is packaged and sold, and what it costs, depend on the day and on the market. Those are questions the shop can answer directly and this website deliberately does not guess at.
