Why choose our lobster?
A local product, at the heart of the season
Our lobster comes from the cold waters of Gaspésie, the North Shore, and the Maritime provinces. Harvested in spring, when the meat is at its firmest and most flavourful, it truly reflects the richness of our maritime regions.
Unmatched freshness
Delivered quickly after being caught, our lobster arrives in-store either live or freshly cooked. The result: tender texture and delicate flavour that make all the difference.
A seasonal indulgence not to miss
Available for a limited time only, fresh lobster is a true spring highlight. It’s the perfect opportunity to enjoy it and create memorable meals.
Fishmongers to serve you better
Your IGA fishmonger is there to help you choose the right lobster: live, cooked – whole or cracked, male or female, in the size you prefer and the quantity you need.
