Cousin’s Maine Lobster
Cousins Maine Lobster serves the best lobster in the world: Wild caught, sustainably harvested, 100% premium lobster from Maine. We use traditional New England style split top rolls, shipped from Maine, whose flat sides are perfect for buttering and grilling. What’s Maine lobster without a roll from Maine? Taste the best Maine Lobster has to offer with our claw and knuckle Maine lobster meat — the choicest, sweetest and most tender parts of the lobster. We know where our catch comes from and our customers should too. We buy from our eight partnered wharfs along the Maine Coastline: Casco Bay, Cundys Harbor, Boothbay Harbor, South Bristol, Port Clyde, Tenants Harbor, Vinalhaven, Cutler.
The beginning was chaotic and confusing, yet promising and exciting. In 2012 when we opened, we had one truck, a small staff and very little restaurant experience. Thankfully, we had passion and an amazing product. From day one, we experienced lines of 50 to 60 people, which we were grateful for and humbled by. Our one little truck produced amazing sales during its first few months, providing a real opportunity that we had to acknowledge. With very little means, we built one truck, hired a small staff and created a culture and brand that customers gravitated to. The result was increased demand, more sales and a potential to expand our business. But before we had the chance to scale and put another truck on the road, we appeared on ABC’s hit show, Shark Tank.
