Cook’s Lobster Pound
What we do at the wharf.
The wharf is the center of the business: lobster buying, wholesale lobster movement, live lobster sales, fuel, and practical waterfront services.
From the Boats: Buying & Grading
Cribstone Lobster is where the harvest meets the shore. We buy live Maine lobsters directly from the local fleet, moving product from the stern of the boat into our climate-controlled working pound. We take pride in our meticulous grading process, ensuring that only the hardiest, high-quality product is selected for our tanks and your table.
For Captains
We are open for landing every day except Sunday. We aim to provide a seamless offloading experience to get you back out or home as quickly as possible.
Fuel and a variety of bait are available daily at the wharf to ensure your boat is turned around and ready for the next haul.
Fresh From the Pound: On-Site Sales
If you find yourself on Bailey Island, you can buy your lobsters exactly where they were landed. Because we are a working wharf, our inventory moves with the tides and the season’s catch. While availability changes daily based on what the boats bring in, our commitment to quality never wavers.
Pro Tip: Stop by the dock to see what’s in the tanks today. When the boats are in, the lobster is as fresh as it gets.

The Working Waterfront Advantage
When you see the crates being hauled and the catch being sorted, you understand the Cribstone difference. We aren't a generic online seafood brand—we are a living, breathing part of the Maine working waterfront. By choosing us, you are getting lobster handled with the expertise and integrity of Bailey Island’s finest dockmen and fishermen.
