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 Rolls:
My daughter sent me this amazing gift as a Mother's Day present and I can't think of anything that would have been a nicer treat. I enjoyed the lobster for several days and didn't share a bite with anyone!! I'm just sorry it's gone. The lobster chunks were humungous and the seasoning was light but delicious. Don't know when I've ever had better lobster salad.

Delicious, but lobster salad did not arrive frozen and only had a four day shelf life.
Glad I ordered for a Friday delivery to enjoy over the weekend.

Comments about Lobster Rolls:
I had been invited to a friend's for dinner and low and behold she served these delightful Lobster rolls. I have seen them on this site before but thought they were a little expensive for something I was unsure I would like. I now know that they are well worth the price. I look forward to serving them at my next gathering.

Comments about Lobster Rolls:
There was a lot of great lobster meat in this but I found it very bland. I added more mayo, lemon juice, diced red onion, diced poblano and serrano peppers, salt and a dash of grey poupon. I think it needed a "crunch" and some more flavor to counter the bread.

Comments about Lobster Rolls:
I was disappointed. It's expensive, as is to be expected, because there is a lot of great quality lobster meat there. But the seasoning of both varieties is lackluster. I was expecting something more distinctive and flavorful. So, nothing to write home about...but it is still lobster!

Comments about Lobster Rolls:
I am a snob, some may say I am a Lobsternista. I LOVE Lobster rolls like Linday Lohan loves to party. I went to college at BU and spent many a weekend gorging on lobster while my friends were doing questionable things while ingesting too much newcastle. So, when I was given this lobster roll as a birthday gift last year, I was hooked. I must have it again. Delicious, tender, tasty, overall perfection.I crave it. Mmm.. lobster...
