“We help our customers meet not just their product requirements, but also their corporate responsibility requirements,” said John Norton, President & CEO of Cozy Harbor Seafood. “While we have supplied world class quality lobster for 30 years – cold-water lobster from Maine is world renowned for flavor and texture – restaurants and supermarkets now have the added comfort of these important certifications and quality distinctions that they can communicate to their customers,” Norton said.

Trace Register™ provides an extra level of assurance to global buyers, who can log in online at any time to determine where their lobster is coming from. The Gulf of Maine Responsibly Harvested program was developed by the Gulf of Maine Research Institute to verify that Maine lobster and shrimp have been responsibly harvested and the source has been verified. Cozy Harbor has been providing responsibly harvested Maine lobster to the market since 1982 from its trusted lobstermen in Maine.
