The Maine Event is Back: Don’t Miss Out on Fresh Maine Lobsters This Labor Day Weekend!
The Maine Event is back! Running from August 30th to September 2nd, this annual celebration at Sunset is one of our most anticipated events. Over Labor Day weekend, we’re offering succulent Whole Maine Lobsters for just $15 each, with an average weight of 1.25 pounds. This event is limited to Labor Day Weekend, and supplies won’t last. We strongly encourage you to pre-order your lobsters online at entertaining. sunsetfoods.com to ensure you don’t miss out!
What Makes Maine Lobsters Special?
Maine Lobsters are the most sought after variety of lobster in the world. One of the standout features is their size. Maine Lobsters are larger than other varieties like rock lobsters, which means more tender and juicy meat to enjoy. The cool waters of Maine also play a crucial role in their superior taste. The lower water temperature keeps excess salt from seeping into the meat, resulting in a naturally sweeter flavor that’s hard to match. Additionally, Maine Lobsters are a sustainable choice. Maine’s progressive conservation laws, which include strict trap and size limits, ensure that the lobster population remains healthy and abundant for future generations.
Pre-Order Your Lobster Now to Ensure Availability
Given the popularity of The Maine Event and the limited supply of our fresh Maine Lobsters, we highly
recommend that you pre-order your lobsters as soon as possible. Our convenient online catering service allows you to easily place your order online at entertaining.sunsetfoods.com. Choose between live or steamed lobsters, depending on how you prefer to enjoy them. Please note that USDA regulations prevent us from cracking your lobsters for you. We require 48 hours’ notice for all orders. Along with your lobster, don’t forget to add all the necessary lobster essentials to your order, including lobster bibs, lobster crackers, seafood pick sets, and lobster forks, to make your dining experience complete.
The Maine Event Goes Beyond the Seafood Department
While the Maine Lobster is the star of the show, The Maine Event offers so much more. We’ve put together a special Lobster Boil Fixin’s package that includes everything you need for a traditional lobster boil: fresh potatoes, sweet corn on the cob, lemons, Zatarain’s Andouille Sausage, and Zatarain’s Crab Boil in a Bag. It’s a one-stop solution for creating an authentic Lobster Boil from the comfort of your home!
Be sure to stop by our deli department, where we have a variety of lobster-themed dishes that show case the versatility and flavor of Maine Lobsters. Our menu includes options for those who prefer lighter, healthier meals and those who love comfort food. Our Lobster & Corn Salad with Basil is a refreshing and satisfying option, made with lobster meat, crispy bacon, sweet corn, cherry tomatoes, scallions, and fresh basil, all tossed in a light vinaigrette. For those who love comfort food, our Lobster & White Cheddar Mac & Cheese offers a grown-up twist on a classic favorite. This rich and creamy dish pairs perfectly with lobster. And, of course, no lobster event would be complete without Mini New England Lobster Rolls. These tasty bites feature a New England-style bun toasted to perfection and filled with tender lobster meat, celery, a touch of mayonnaise, and topped with lemon zest and celery salt. It’s an authentic taste of the New England, right here at Sunset.
Don’t Forget About Our Bakery
The bakery at Sunset has been hard at work preparing a selection of items that perfectly complement your lobster feast. Start with our Key Lime Pie, made in-house with a tangy, sweet filling that’s sure to have you coming back for another slice. Our bakery also offers a freshly in store made cornbread, a classic side dish that pairs wonderfully with lobster. For a bit more flair, try our Cheddar Garlic Biscuits, which bring an authentic taste of New England right to your table.
