Maine Lobster Direct Merges With Canadian Counterpart Lobster Direct...

April 13, 2005 -- Joi and Lee Kressbach's company name says it best: Maine Lobster Direct. It is the premier source of Maine lobster, offering the largest selection of live lobster, lobster tails and complete lobster dinners in the U.S. and Canada at very competitive prices.



Now, with the merger with Lobster Direct, a Canadian company, they will be able to serve all of North America. U.S. shipments will continue to be made from the company's Portland, Maine location on Union Wharf. Canadian shipments may be made from either Nova Scotia or Maine.



Owner Lee Kressbach says, "We are delighted to be able to better serve both our U.S. and Canadian customers. We see ourselves as a small Maine Company raising itself to the next level. Now in our 10th year, we believe our phenomenal success is due to our passion for offering only the freshest seafood. As we see our competitors (many of whom aren't even located in Maine) come and go we stand out as a real Maine company, run by real Maine people who are committed to our customers and the quality of our products.



Maine Lobster Direct has experienced extensive growth each year, as its sales show. Now, with an extended customer base to serve, owners Lee and Joi Kressbach are offering an updated, full-color version of their "Cooking Guide".   




The new 32-page, full color Cooking Guide gives complete instructions for the care and handling of live lobsters. In addition, it features cooking instructions for all of their products such as lobster tails, steamer clams, mussels, shrimp, chowders, bisques and stews. It also gives complete descriptions and prices for the company's extensive list of lobster dinner packages, many of which include locally made desserts.



The unique section called "Recipes From the Maine Kitchen" include recipes for a traditional Maine lobster bake, baked stuffed lobsters, Maine lobster salad and lobsters steamed in vodka. In addition, the recipes include broiled Maine scallops, Maine shrimp roll, Betty's lobster casserole and lobster primavera.



Since the first lobster was shipped back in 1995, Maine Lobster Direct has experienced steady growth and praise from its customers. Joi and Lee attribute this to their passion for shipping only the finest quality seafood and for offering their customers old-fashioned customer service with a 100% satisfaction guarantee.



The company is owned by Joi and Lee Kressbach who live only a short boat ride away from their business on Portland's historic Union Wharf. The couple and their two young daughters live on the water in a picturesque coastal village further down the bay where Lee grew-up. "We're proud to support the local fishing community while providing our customers with an incredible product and great service," says Lee.
