How stable is this supply base?

Is there much new product?
Frozen Whole Lobster gained 83 new listings in the last 30 days, more than the 49 the month before. New offers are arriving at a faster rate, so the catalog a buyer sees today includes more recent prices or pack sizes. Compare the listing date with older offers to assess which one is more current.
Is the market busy?

The pool is dominated by sellers with a long history of listings, which makes it easier to assess consistency in availability and pricing. The small number of new entries means most buyers will be working with suppliers they already know. Review each supplier's listing history before reaching out.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Frozen Whole Lobster listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 25 October 2026 - 1,064 active listings and 103 buyer requests, with 13 source documents and 123 supply observations from the last 90 days. External export benchmarks are cited separately and never mixed into Freshdi figures.
Price and MOQ ranges are the interquartile range - the middle half of quotes, a quarter below and a quarter above - with the median reported alongside. A Frozen Whole Lobster type is priced only once it holds at least 5% of supply price quotes and 3 priced listings with a real range; below that it is not listed. Buyer prices are compared only once there are at least 5 of them.
All prices are FOB, in USD per metric ton; quotes on other Incoterms are converted to a FOB equivalent. Freshdi does not hold a CIF price series for Frozen Whole Lobster, so no landed-cost comparison is possible from this data.
Product freshness counts listings created or updated. Supplier activity counts sellers by their last update. The two are different measurements and will not agree.
Freshdi reprocesses market data every hour, with one snapshot a day for trends. This page's figures, certification coverage included, refresh every 14 days on a rolling 365-day window.
