Eat Maine Lobster Maine

“In Maine, I ate my first whole lobster. I was actually born in Maine, but had never been interested in lobster (fish has not been my favorite, but I’m liking it more). Never eating a lobster meant that I was not a true Mainer…this needed to be fixed. It turns out that a whole lobster, fresh from the water makes for a delicious dinner—and the lobsters we ate in Maine were as local as they get. Kathy and I went with our friend to pick up dinner. We grabbed a grocery bag from the cupboard, walked just about 50 yards (maybe less), and into Dick’s Lobsters—a small lobster market next to a dock in Harpswell. Dick asked about our friend’s husband (he had stayed home) and walked along the dock to pull our four lobsters out of the water. At $4 a pound, they were less than most ground beef in the grocery store. No shipping, no storage, just fresh lobster that tasted of the ocean. There is no better way to eat.”
