The Best Lobster Roll on the East Coast
by L.A. DiNardi

In order to find the best lobster rolls, you don’t have to go to a fine dining establishment where the servers where tuxedos, serving on fine linens. Often, the best can be found in tiny little shacks called “lobster pounds”. Whether you are a traditionalist and love Maine lobster rolls or a native of southern New England and love the Connecticut style, one thing both camps can agree on? The lobster must be fresh from Maine.

Many restaurants tout “fresh lobster from Maine”, sadly many restaurants further down the East Coast or traveling further inland feel Maine lobster can be anything out of the Atlantic. Not true! There is nothing that can top getting lobster straight from the dock, in a fishing village on the coast of Maine. Something about that cold water makes the lobsters taste delicious, and tender, unlike anywhere else in the world.

If you want the best of both worlds, with top notch, fresh-off-the-boat lobster meat, head over to The Lobster Dock in Boothbay Harbor, Maine. Their lobsters are delivered twice daily straight from the lobstermen that toil year after year right in Boothbay. They have a cook that goes out and digs the clams served in the restaurant! You cannot get any fresher product than what they serve. There are many, many similar shacks in Maine that do just this, but do they have the view to match?

They offer both kinds of lobster rolls, amazing lobster stew, and many other fantastic fresh seafood dishes, combined with a casual and clean atmosphere and a view worthy of any photographer. This is the place to go if you want the true experience of Maine lobster. The prices are competitive and very reasonable. Take a road trip to The Lobster Dock and bring the fami go through the ly for a great adventure!
