Boothbay Harbor
Boothbay Harbor in the still morningYesiree Bob! Donna said it right…”Now those are real Lobster Rolls,” as I set the tray down at the table with 3 of them. I think Guy Fieri had a similar comment on his Food Network Show. These were not contaminated with lettuce, celery, onion, mayo or anything else. Just a plain roll piled so high and deep with nothing but lobster meat that you couldn’t see the roll. So where did we find these delectable jewels? A little red shack right next to US1, on the corner at Water Street in Wiscasset, ME named “Red’s Eats.”
Now picture sitting in the warm sunshine, trying to pick up your roll and you can’t without spilling lobster meat all over the wrapper. Then take the roll and for each bite, dip it in melted butter, and ENJOY! When you are done, use the fork to eat the other half of the lobster that fell out. Alternate bites with fries and onion rings and you have the perfect low cholesterol health food lunch. Reportedly, and we confirm, these are the best lobster rolls on the east coast, Canada or US. We got in line about 20 minutes before opening, 6th in line. The line was around the corner by 11:30. It was still that long at 3PM when we went by on the way home. OK now, that’s about 4 lobsters I consumed in less than 24 hours. Top that Walt. Now there’s this other place in Boothbay Harbor called Lobster Dock featured on “Throwdown” with Bobby Flay…Donna has grounded me! Guess we’ll have to come back some time.
Other than stuff our faces, we did have a good day seeing the area. After a hard rain overnight it was beautiful today, warm too. We did walk around in both Wiscasset and Bath, drove by Bath Iron Works, and down Rt209 along the Kennebec River to Popham Beach and old Fort Popham at the mouth. It must be quite a sight when one of the new destroyers sails down the river to the sea. Oh yes, have no fear, we did find a lighthouse or two.
