Unsold fish are rotting on docks, seafood companies are hitting the wall, but Jacob Rees-Mogg says what matters is that fish are now ‘happier’ because they’re ‘British’
Due to European blockade no lobsters are leaving for France and Spain today and tomorrow, meaning that we have unexpected availability. Book by 10am tomorrow for delivery on Wednesday. A teeny tiny tinnnyyyy glimmer of light in a catastrophic situation.
We want to say a big THANK YOU to all customers and are offering a free lobster for anyone who refers a friend. Any new customers ordering through the website should put the referral name in the comments box, we’ll then send the referrer a voucher for free lobster. Simples.🦞
The ongoing glorious weather has meant that we have lobsters in abundance. Therefore, this weekend we’ll be offering a lobster free for every three bought. Sunny bbq galore, direct to your door ☀️🦞☀️
Thank you, @lockdownlobster for supplying me with these absolute beauties this morning. Such a tasty way to support the UK lobster fishing industry in these times.
We want to change supply chains for the better - and we can do this by eating fresh, sustainable food whilst supporting the talent that catches it.
Cutting out the middle man = lobster on your plate (and to your door) 🦞❤️
It’s seen as an extravagance to eat lobster, though seafood in the UK is a responsible and (can be, should be) economically sound choice. We are an island surround by water, yet we rarely get to eat the bounty of the sea.
The perception of extravagance comes from lack of availability and therefore price. UK catch has, until now, been shipped abroad in vast (VAST) majorities. Let’s use the situation we’re in now for *some* good by changing this.
@BeirutiBrit We’d love to and are it’s our aim to distribute wider than London ASAP. At the moment we don’t have the capacity unfortunately but watch this space x
calling all London friends! My friend Jude took photos of Welsh fisherman Sion before lockdown and fell in love with his story. He’s delivering the freshest lobster to your door and hoping to change the supply chain forever. Next delivery coming up @lockdownlobster
@bohemewaterford@EatingBeagles We’d love to be in a position to but at the moment not - we’re just one van driving direct from Wales to London and then to doorstep. We want to grow to widen delivery potential and would hope to be with you soon! 🦞❤️

We’re on a mission. In ‘normal’ times we export much of our domestic catch. International lockdown has given us the opportunity to change supply lines for the better.
