Forager story
Growing up around the family’s lobster restaurant in Ogunquit, Maine, Cal Hancock learned the importance of supporting local lobstermen and why Maine lobsters are the best tasting lobsters in the world. Most importantly, she learned how to give customers that “Maine” experience; serve delicious lobsters and provide the best customer service.
With that knowledge and experience, along with her love for cooking, Cal created Hancock Gourmet Lobster Co.in 2000. Her mission was to make that Maine experience accessible to people everywhere by shipping ready-to-serve lobster and seafood specialties – without the fuss.
Today, Cal continues to work out of her test kitchen in Cundy’s Harbor, the oldest commercial lobstering village in Maine, where she’s able to stay connected with local lobstermen and the eco-friendliest lobster industry in the world. The award-winning company’s manufacturing facility provides jobs for people in the community who still craft the food by hand just as the Hancock family did years ago.

Comments about Lobster Mac & Cheese:
I purchased the lobster Mac & Cheese for appetizers at Xmas! We're Italian so we only eat fish on Xmas Eve! The M&C comes in its own ceramic container that's reusable and quite nice! All you do is bake it--no mess! No fuss! And it tastes like you ordered it from a fine restaurant. As an appetizer - one container can be shared by 2 by placing on a small plate with other nibbles. Totally worth it!!!

Comments about Lobster Mac & Cheese:
I used this product after a long day at the office when cooking seemed out of the question but I still wanted a quality meal with little work. I popped these in the oven and served them with fresh steamed broccoli and it was an instant hit! My husband and I both enjoy new flavors and this product used a unique combination of cheese, noodles and lobster which hit the mark. Thank you Dean and DeLuca!
