About

Lobster Place is a seafood experience like no other. Inside our Chelsea Market
space you’ll find a top-notch fresh seafood counter, raw bar, sushi bar and fresh
steamed lobsters to stay or to go – not to mention our Michelin-acclaimed
Cull and Pistol Oyster Bar. We’ve been pioneering unique seafood experiences
since 1974 when we first brought live lobster to NYC directly from the Maine coast –
and a visit to our Chelsea Market outlet will show you the latest unforgettable
chapter in that 45+ year story. 

For a little “taste” of what’s in-store at Chelsea Market – take a virtual tour or give us 90 seconds to check out this video.


Stewardship

We’ve thrived through 2 generations of family ownership because of our commitment to being good stewards

and educating young people about the ecology and economy of their marine environment. Lobster Place Wholesale Seafood operates the
BOP Shell Collection Program, collecting shells from over 70 NYC restaurants and markets, including the Lobster Place Seafood Market which
donates 1,500 lbs. of oyster shells each week, making it one of the program's largest partners.
