Luke Holden and Ben Conniff: Luke's Lobster

Today, I’m talking with the entrepreneurs behind Luke's Lobster – a family-owned Maine seafood business, founded by third-generation lobsterman Luke Holden and business partner Ben Conniff.


What began as a tiny lobster roll shack in New York City now includes locations in ten US states, Japan, and Singapore, a seafood purchasing and production business, and products in grocery stores across the United States. 


Throughout their incredible growth, Luke and Ben’s commitment to sustainability and putting stakeholders above profits has earned them customers, accolades and a B Corp certification. As the environmental and coastal fishing communities work towards a more sustainable vision for the future of lobstering, Luke’s Lobster is certain to be a key voice working to find consensus to the conversation.
