Where Red Lobster's lobster comes from
Every lobster Red Lobster serves is wild-caught. Its Maine lobster is North American lobster, also called Maine or Maritime lobster, from New England and Canada. It also serves Rock lobster and langostino, and it never serves a lobster over 4 lbs., because larger lobsters breed the most (Red Lobster).
