The lobsters are caught alive in creels\/pots, located on the seabed and baited with food. This is a sustainable and environmentally friendly form of fishing which has a minimal impact on the surrounding marine environment.<\/p>\n
After they have been caught, the lobster are transported to our vivier tanks where they are stored in cool sea water between 4-7c. The cool temperature lowers the metabolic rate of the lobsters and prepares them for shipment by air freight. Blue lobster is a strong animal and they regularly survive for 2-3 days out of water with low mortality.<\/p>\n
On arrival at their destination, they can be returned to water. However, in order to avoid thermal shock, the temperature of the water must be no more than 3c from body temperature of the lobster on arrival. The main sizes available in various are Small 400\/600g, Medium 600\/800g, Large 800\/1200g, XL 1200\/1700g. XXL 1700g. We also sell lobster with one claw at a more competitive price and they are called Cripple lobster. The lobsters are packed in 5Kg and 10kg\u00a0 polystyrene boxes.<\/p>\n
There is an absorbent pad on the bottom of the box to collect any excess moisture and a jay cloth on top of the box to prevent the cool packs from coming in contact with the lobster. The main season runs from May-December although small quantities may be available from January-April the top part of the shell can be replaced and held in place with bands.

MBS Inter Mar Ltd have been exporting live shellfish from Scotland since 1998. Our live products are mainly creel or diver caught in the waters off the West Coast of Scotland.<\/span> These 2 methods of fishing are internationally recognised as the most responsible way of fishing as it does not affect the surrounding habitat. Once caught, the product is carefully graded and conditioned for transport to ensure that the best quality is received by our customers.<\/span> For road freight, we have daily dispatches to Boulogne-Sur-Mer, with onward connections to the rest of France and Spain. For air freight, we have two dispatches per day to Hong Kong and Singapore and daily services to Barcelona, \u00a0Madrid \u00a0and Oporto.<\/span> Please note that there is a minimum order of 80kg for air freight orders.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ parallax=”off” parallax_method=”on”][et_pb_blog posts_number=”1″ include_categories=”4″ show_more=”on” show_author=”off” show_date=”off” show_categories=”off” show_pagination=”off” use_overlay=”on” _builder_version=”3.6″ header_text_color=”#ffffff”][\/et_pb_blog][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.0.74″ transparent_background=”off”][et_pb_row custom_margin=”0px|||” parallax_method_1=”off” parallax_method_2=”off” _builder_version=”3.0.47″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off”][et_pb_contact_form email=”mediades04@googlemail.com,steve@scottish-seafood.com” title=”Get in Touch ” custom_message=”The following message has been sent from your Website MBS InterMar Ltd. ||et_pb_line_break_holder||||et_pb_line_break_holder||Name: %%name%%||et_pb_line_break_holder||Company: %%company%%||et_pb_line_break_holder||Email Address: %%email%%||et_pb_line_break_holder||Telephone: %%telephone%%||et_pb_line_break_holder||||et_pb_line_break_holder||Here is the message:||et_pb_line_break_holder||||et_pb_line_break_holder||%%message%%” success_message=”Thanks for contacting us.
