Gary's Lobsters🦞
Gary's day starts long before sunrise. By 4 a.m., he's already out on the water hauling in lobsters that he'll bring directly to our farmers' market later that morning.!
After semi-retiring from his previous career, Gary moved to the Seacoast four years ago with a dream of working on the water. He decided to go all in on starting a lobster business and thanks to a recommendation from New Hampshire Fish and Game, he found his way to the farmers' market. He's now been a market vendor for two seasons!
Gary's favorite part of market days is seeing the smiles on people's faces and watching kids light up when they spot the live lobsters.
His vendor superpower? Keeping lobsters alive and at peak freshness without ever using a holding tank. Instead, they're carefully stored in temperature-controlled coolers with seaweed, helping preserve the quality and flavor. It's a difference customers notice, with many telling Gary they're the best lobsters they've ever had! When you shop with Gary, you're buying directly from the fisherman who caught your lobster while supporting NH's working waterfront and local food economy.
You'll find Gary's Lobsters at our Durham, Dover, Exeter, and Portsmouth Farmers' Markets throughout the season. If you're visiting the Portsmouth Farmers' Market, be sure to grab one of Gary's fresh lobster rolls while you're there!🦞
