I don't see them on their site, but I've read that they can find almost anything:

Wow,
That website shows 1.25 lb lobsters at $19.99 a pound, plus an additional overnight fedex charge. 2-1.25 pounders, plus shipping will cost a minimum of $75. or thereabouts.

If you think you're going to buy at that price, I know of a fish market in the fishing port of New Bedford MA. Captain Frank's ((508) 992-3000) will charge you $15. or so to package your seafood. They will also only charge you market rates for lobsters (which I think should be much cheaper than the link).

Then you can use your own fedex account to pay for the shipping.

I know from first hand experience that their seafood is FIRST RATE. Matter of fact, my husband who takes no note of where I buy pretty much anything will always ask if I bought from "that place" whenever I've bought from Capt. Frank's.

But I believe the OP is looking for spiny lobsters, the clawless ones, not the New England lobster.

If you search for spiny lobsters, you'll get some hits for online dealers (farm-2-market.com being one).

Good luck!

Out of curiosity, why spiny lobsters?
Maine lobsters are generally far superior in taste to spiny.
