Where to Find the Perfect Maine Lobster
Maine is famous for its lobster and there's a reason for that! The cooler sea temperatures in Maine keep the salt from permeating the lobster’s shell resulting in a firmer, sweeter, and more succulent lobster than those found in the warm waters of Florida or the Caribbean.
You’ll find great lobster-centric meals all across the state, most if not all will be delicious but, we want to share some of the best places to eat lobster near our town of Winterport, Maine.
McLaughlin Seafood has been serving fresh Maine lobsters and other seafood in Bangor since 1978.
From lobster quesadillas to lobster rolls and full lobster dinners, you’ll enjoy your fill of fresh, flavorful Maine lobster. If you’re really lobster crazy, shoot for the lazy lobster dinner. It’s half a pound fresh-cooked lobster, served with hot-drawn butter and a side of your choice. My choice would be sweet potato fries.
McLaughlin also has a fresh seafood market so you can purchase lobster and other seafood to prepare at home. They can even package your seafood for travel.
Is it just me or is a meal from a food truck much more comforting?
The Lobstah Buoy is a food truck stationed in Bangor, Maine, and represented Maine in a Food Network listicle, “Best Food Truck in Every State,” in 2019.
To satisfy your lobster craving, Lobstah Buoy serves lobster rolls, stews, and an off-menu grilled cheese with lobster sandwich. Depending on your appetite, Lobstah Buoy has three lobster roll sizes from which to choose. We say go big with the half-pound. The warm, grilled rolls are piled high with a generous serving of fresh lobster and mayo and served with drawn butter.
If you’re traveling with folks who don’t eat lobster, Lobstah Buoy serves other classic food truck fare as well.
