Seafood Frenzy

When in Maine......

While visiting Acadia NP we visited a couple of lobster pounds.  Lobster pounds are "sort of" restaurants.  You can pick up your seafood and take it home or you can eat it there.  You pick out your lobster or the size you want, then the sides you want to eat with it, they throw it in the pot and cook it for you, call your number and you pick it up and chow down!

Some of the lobster pounds have seating indoors but most just have picnic tables either in a screened in area or just outside.  The first place we visited was the Down East Lobster Pound that only had the screened in area and with the rainy day we had it was a little cool!

Even though it was chilly the food was delicious!   A 1+ pound lobster, corn on the cob, coleslaw and roll was $15.00 each...for the whole lobster!

We didn't get enough lobster the night before so we went to the Trenton Bridge Lobster Pound the next night.  This time Gene picked a 3# big boy and I stayed with the smaller guy.  They sure are good when they are that fresh but it did make me feel bad to watch the workers put the lobsters in a rope bag.  I knew where they were going!

The lady at the campground sent us to Graffam Bros.Seafood Market in Camden, Maine for lobster rolls.  She said they have really good ones but were cheaper than anywhere else.  She was right...they were great and the price was right.

This is a lobster roll...lobster chunks mixed with a little mayo on a very soft roll!  Delicious!

We went into Camden to look around a little bit and about an hour after we had eaten our lobster rolls we came upon Cappy's Chowder House.  Since it was on my "list" of places to eat we HAD to go in and order the "white" chowder!  Needless to say we won't be having supper!

This was the small cup!   It was fabulous, the best chowder I have ever eaten!
