Our Story

Welcome to Crowley’s Live Maine Lobster & Fresh Seafood, where we bring the best of the Maine coast straight to your plate in Upstate, South Carolina! Our owner, Michael Crowley, is an eighth-generation fisherman from Downeast Maine. After falling head over heels for the beautiful weather, lakes, and Southern charm during a vacation, he traded his fishing boots for new adventures in the Palmetto State.
 
Once he settled in Seneca, Michael quickly realized something was missing—good seafood! So, he hatched a crazy idea: Why not buy a truck, head up to Maine, and source the freshest lobsters directly from his friends and family’s boats? And that’s exactly what he did. Now, you can trace your lobsters all the way back to the harbor and boats in Corea, ME (yep, Crowley Island!).
 
At Crowley’s Live Maine Lobster & Fresh Seafood, we’re not just about seafood—we’re about bringing you the real taste of Maine. When we say, “We Bring The Taste Of Maine To You,” we mean it! From our boats to your table, every lobster is fresh, flavorful, and ready to enjoy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Crack Open the Answers

Whats the difference between regular and select lobsters?

Regular lobsters weigh between 1–1.5 lbs. Select lobsters are larger, ranging from 1.6–4.8 lbs.

We recommend about 1.5 lobsters per person for a satisfying serving.

No! The sound you hear is just air escaping from between the meat and the shell—not a scream. With our lobsters, this is unlikely to happen since they are so fresh that little to no air is trapped in the shell yet.

One easy way to tell is when the antenna easily pops off with a gentle tug. The shell will also turn bright red, and the meat will be firm and opaque.

To make cracking and eating your lobster easier, we recommend:

  • Lobster cracker – For breaking open the claws and shell.
  • Seafood pick or fork – To get every last bite of delicious meat.
  • Kitchen shears – Helpful for cutting through the shell.
  • Butter dish & ramekin – Perfect for dipping in melted butter.
  • Napkins or bib – Things might get messy, but that’s part of the fun!

Wow is all I can say!! The Lobsters were so fresh and absolutely full of delicious meat. It’s amazing the difference in the taste and tenderness, when you compare Micheal’s lobsters to store bought that has been in a tank for who knows how long. Treat yourself to a real taste of Maine!!

First time customer and won’t be my last time. Bought 4 pounds of steamer clams today and they were gone shortly after they came home. Absolutely amazing. Every single clam was in great shape and all 4 lbs opened. Not a single dead loss. Owner was incredibly friendly and personable. Cannot wait to visit them again and try a few of the other items on the menu!

I’m originally from New England and always looking for fresh delicious seafood. When I saw Crowley’s a few months ago I decided to give it a try. Got 3 - 1.5lb lobsters and my husband and I raved that it was probably some of the best lobster we have had. It tasted buttery without butter. Delicious!
