Maine Roots. Local Legacy.

Founded by lifelong lobstermen Mark Barlow and Randy Townsend, Island Lobster Seafood started with two pickup trucks and two 1,200-lb holding tanks, selling graded Maine lobster to nearby restaurants and lobster pounds. In 1998, the business expanded to Badger’s Island in Kittery with a full-service lobster buying station and bait supply operation.
