How it reaches you

The lobster is sedated before packing so it stays calm on the way, then placed in an ice box with ice to keep it cold until it reaches you.

Storage

Cook it on the day it arrives — ideally as soon as you receive it. Do not keep live lobster in the fridge or freezer

How to cook it

Boil in well-salted water: 10–12 minutes. To steam, add about two minutes. On the grill, split it lengthways and cook shell-side down for 6–8 minutes. It is ready when the shell is bright red and the meat is white and firm. Times are a guide.

Delivery

Availability depends on the shipment, and our team confirms the delivery time with you after you order. Zones and fees are on the shipping and delivery page.

Why cold chain decides the taste

Seafood is not judged at the moment it is cooked but at every hour before it. A break of two degrees for an hour costs more than an extra minute on the heat ever will. Every order leaves our facility cold and stays cold until it reaches the door, which is the reason a piece from us behaves differently in the pan from one bought loose at room temperature.

Buying for a week rather than a day

Households that shop once a week get more out of an order than those who buy daily: the pack is opened once, portioned, and what is not needed goes back sealed. Split the pack into meal-sized portions before storing rather than after, and label the date. It removes the guessing later and stops the whole pack being thawed for one meal.

Ordering and delivery

Orders placed before 5 PM go out the same day in one of three windows, and orders above EGP 2,499 ship free across the delivery zones. Check the box in front of the courier before he leaves — anything that arrives outside its temperature or damaged is replaced, and that check takes seconds.
