A Beloved Maine Institution
Thanks to the state’s long coastline and rich fishing heritage, seafood is a staple of Maine cuisine. Lobster, clams, and other shellfish are particularly popular. Locals often prepare them in simple, traditional ways to showcase the seafood’s fresh, briny flavor. Maine is also known for its blueberries, potatoes, and maple syrup.
Bob’s Clam Hut is a popular seafood restaurant in Kittery, Maine. It was founded in 1956 by Bob Kraft and has since been a favorite destination for locals and tourists.
The restaurant is known for its fresh seafood dishes and classic Maine lobster rolls. Some of the other popular menu items include:
● Clam Chowder: This creamy, hearty soup is a New England classic, and Bob’s version is famous in the area. They make it with fresh clams, potatoes, and onions, and serve it with oyster crackers.
● Lobster Roll: This sandwich is a Maine icon, and Bob’s version is a fan favorite. It features a split-top bun filled with chunks of fresh Maine lobster meat, mixed with a touch of mayo and seasoning. It’s usually served with fries or onion rings on the side.
● Fried Clams: Bob’s Clam Hut is known for its perfectly crispy, golden-fried clams. They’re made with locally-sourced whole-belly clams. You can enjoy them with tartar sauce and lemon wedges.
● Fish and Chips: This classic British dish is a seafood staple in the state. Bob’s version features crispy battered haddock, served with fries and coleslaw.
● Scallop Roll: If you’re a fan of scallops, you’ll want to try Bob’s Scallop Roll. It’s similar to the Lobster Roll but filled with plump, juicy sea scallops.
● Shrimp Basket: For something a little lighter, try the Shrimp Basket. It features a generous portion of fried shrimp, served with fries and coleslaw.
In addition to these menu items, Bob’s Clam Hut also offers a variety of salads, sandwiches, and sides, as well as daily specials. They also have a kids’ menu, and they serve beer and wine for the grown-ups.
