Great Eats In the Great North – Part 12 – Maine Lobster

We had to have lobster while in Maine. It just wouldn’t be a trip to Maine without lobster, right?! We asked around and we were told The Lobster Shack was the place to go. It’s a local legend in Maine.

Maine lobster prices are lower when there is an abundant supply, usually between June and December. During these months, lobsters migrate closer to the shore, making it easier for fishermen to catch more, leading to lower prices. On Saturdays, traps can be hauled after 4 pm, but on Sundays, they cannot be hauled at any time. These regulations ensure that the lobster population remains sustainable, preventing overfishing and providing ample time for lobsters to grow and replenish their stocks.

The Lobster Shack is seasonal, and is open from April 1 -October 25. So we got there in the nick and time. The Lobster Shack is an award-winning restaurant that has been a local landmark since the 1920s. There are good places to eat in Southern Maine. Other restaurants have nice views…But nothing compares with The Lobster Shack at Two Lights.

This was definitely a good choice. We got to pick our own lobster.

We ordered other seafood dishes as well, like clam chowder and fish ‘n chips. We shared everything.

It was a bit breezy and chilly, but we chose to dine outside, right at the beach. So glad we did too. Look at our view.

Seize the day and seize all the moments of the day. Make everyday special. Stay safe and stay well. ‘Til next time.
