LOCATED IN BEAUTIFUL DOWNTOWN DUNEDIN, FLORIDA ON THE PINELLAS TRAIL

For 43 years, our founder carried a passion for exceptional New England-style seafood, learning and perfecting the Moran family's recipes right beside them. The Moran family, as emigrants from Ireland and first-generation Americans, always felt luck was on their side. Raised on hearty Irish fare and some of the freshest local ingredients, the Moran’s developed a deep passion for creating recipes from the highest quality seafood available. Their dream became a reality in 1957 when they opened Moran's in New York City. Fifty-eight years later, they headed south to find their new paradise in Dunedin, Florida. Captivated by the beauty and hospitality of their newfound home, they felt honored to offer the same New England style dining experience in the warmth of the south. As this new chapter was well on its way, as was the construction of their new restaurant, they had yet to give it a name. In late 2016, a fisherman not far from their old home caught a giant sapphire-colored lobster so rare that it was dubbed The Lucky Lobster. The Moran’s saw this as both a sign and a blessing, and thus The Lucky Lobster, a Dunedin, Florida fresh seafood restaurant, was born. Today, Tom Murphy is immensely proud to continue this storied tradition. After working alongside the Moran family for over four decades, he was entrusted with the honor of taking the helm. The Lucky Lobster remains a symbol of that founding luck and the commitment to fresh, high-quality seafood that was perfected over the Moran’s lifetime and now carries forward into the next generation.
