The Science of Sweetness: Why Fall is Peak Lobster Season on Long Island
Welcome back to the kitchen, folks! As the leaves turn and the air cools, many people think of pumpkin spice and apple picking. But for us here at PJ Lobster House, the change in season means one thing: peak lobster flavor.
I’m here to let you in on a little industry secret. The best lobster meat comes from cooler waters. Why? As the ocean temperature drops around Long Island in the fall, the lobsters become less active. They’re growing thicker shells, or “hard shells”, to prepare for winter. The result? The meat inside is firmer, denser, and incredibly sweet. This isn’t just hearsay; it’s why lobster specials Long Island-wide are so popular this time of year. The quality is simply unmatched.
Here at your local Port Jeff Lobster House, we pride ourselves on utilizing this autumnal bounty to bring you the most flavorful lobster experience possible.
Must-Try Lobster Dishes to Warm Your Soul
With the quality of the lobster soaring, we’ve focused on dishes that truly celebrate that sweet, succulent meat. Here are the highlights of what you absolutely must try on your next visit:
Fall Favorites: Perfect for Sharing and Savoring
- The Signature Lobster Roll Sliders: While we offer a full-sized roll, the sliders are a fantastic appetizer or light lunch. They feature our hand-picked lobster meat tossed simply with mayo, served on toasted, mini sweet Hawaiian rolls. The subtle sweetness of the roll is the perfect complement to the rich lobster meat, a classic done right.
- The Lobster Lover’s Special for Two: This is the ultimate fall indulgence and a tremendous value. It’s a complete, celebratory meal designed for sharing.
- The Feast Includes:
- Two 1¼ pound steamed lobsters
- Two 8 oz. sirloin steaks
- Two cups of our chef’s daily soup
- Two crisp house garden salads
- Two side dishes of your choice

Why Our Lobster Stands Out
Our dedication to quality isn’t new. For years, we’ve sourced our seafood with integrity, a commitment that our guests often highlight in their feedback. As one recent Google review noted, “The lobster was the sweetest I’ve ever had, you can tell it was incredibly fresh!” That’s the PJ Lobster House promise.
Unbeatable Value: Our Long Island Lobster Specials
We believe that peak season quality shouldn’t come with peak season prices. We’ve designed a special to ensure every lobster lover on Long Island can enjoy this incredible fall flavor.
The Current Lobster Special: Unbeatable Value
We always have incredible deals running, but right now, our focus is on making that fall lobster accessible. Check our Restaurant Menu page for the most current pricing on our celebrated Lobster Lover’s Special for Two; you simply won’t find a better deal that pairs this quality of steamed hard-shell lobster with sirloin steak for a complete dining experience.
Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just want a reason to skip cooking dinner, these lobster specials Long Island residents rely on are here to make your week memorable.
