John and Brendan Ready deliver fresh, exceptionally delicious lobster straight from the piers of Portland, Maine. The Ready brothers grew up in Cape Elizabeth, ME, and were introduced to Maine’s famous lobster industry when they were very young—their grandfather and uncle “paid” them with castoff wooden lobster traps. The enterprising boys repaired the traps and used them to start their own business before they were even teens! “It’s hard and demanding work, challenging and unpredictable out in nature’s elements every day,” says Brendan. “But it’s such a privilege; we’ve loved it since day one!”
Today, Brendan and John work with dozens of independent lobstermen who harvest shellfish from the Gulf of Maine, where the icy cold waters help develop mildly sweet, firm-textured lobsters.
The best of the catch is unloaded right on the docks and delivered to Wegmans within 48 hours! There’s a lot of family pride in supplying Wegmans with only the finest, freshest lobster, always free of chemicals or antibiotics. “Our family’s commitment to quality, trust, tradition, and collaboration have worked for generations here,” says Brendan.

All of Ready Seafood’s lobsters are responsibly harvested, and that’s important to protect the shellfish species and the future of the industry. “I want my kids to be able to enjoy lobster like we do,” says Brendan. “We are stewards of the sea.”
Wegmans has so many festive ways for you to enjoy lobster for the holiday! Our seafood department’s fresh or frozen lobsters and lobster tail make the perfect celebration centerpiece, and our delicious variety of Ready-to-Cook appetizers and entrees are an easy, elegant choice for entertaining.
