Grab a coffee and pull up a chair, welcome to another exciting episode of Coffee in the Park featuring Colby from Lobster Mobsters!

Colby grew up in Prince Edward Island, eventually pursuing a degree as a civil engineering technologist that brought him west to Alberta in 2006. While working in engineering, he teamed up with his brother, Devin on a unique side venture bringing fresh East Coast seafood to the Prairies. What began as a home-based business in a Brooks garage back in 2015 quickly took on a life of its own. When Colby faced a job layoff during the pandemic, he decided to go all in on the business, securing their first brick-and-mortar storefront in Nisku in 2020. That bold move paid off, leading to rapid expansion across Alberta. Today, Lobster Mobsters operates three retail locations in Brooks, Edmonton, and Nisku, along with custom-built 26-foot mobile units outfitted in Stony Plain that travel across Western Canada.

Colby breaks down the common myths around fresh versus flash-frozen fish, explaining why flash freezing can often deliver superior quality and flavor. He takes us through their extensive product lineup, which includes everything from crab and lobster to homemade fish cakes, sweet clams, and regional specialties. He also reveals his top insider secret for making authentic Maritime lobster rolls at home, including why Miracle Whip is an absolute must. Beyond their retail operations, Colby highlights their Mini Mobsters fundraising program, which helps local youth sports teams and community groups raise funds by earning 15% profit on seafood sales with convenient local pickup or delivery options.

Tune in to hear Colby's incredible journey from civil engineering technologist to seafood entrepreneur, get expert tips on cooking Maritime classics at home, and discover how Lobster Mobsters is bringing a taste of the Atlantic to the Prairies!
