Lobster Shells

iPhone Wednesday #9

This was my lunch last Saturday at the Portside Grill in Bar Harbor. I am becoming an expert in dismembering a steamed lobster.

Kim of Seattle Daily Photo and Chuck of One A Day - Mostly Seattle are also posting iPhone Wednesday photos today.

Mussels Clams Fish

This is the sign on the side of the Lobster Shack truck parked at the Orono Farmers' Market. The price of fresh lobster has fallen to about $3.50/lb in Maine because of low demand due to the economic downturn around the country.

So when was the last time you had lobster?

iPhone Wednesday #1

Kim of Seattle Daily Photo started a photo theme a couple months ago called iPhone Wednesday and since then, Chuck of One A Day - Mostly Seattle has joined in. I am posting my first iPhone Wednesday photo today.

This photo was taken in front of McLachlan Seafood, Inc. on Main Street in Bangor. On one side of the building is a retail store that sells live lobsters as well as other seafood items. On the other side is a lobster shack that serves steamed lobsters, baked clams and a host of other seafood dishes.

So what is your favorite seafood dish?

Thursday Dinner Special @ the Weathervane Restaurant

The Weathervane Seafood Restaurant in Brewer, which is across the Penobscot River from Bangor, has a Thursday dinner special -- it is the 2 (1 lb) lobsters for $19.95. I was there for dinner yesterday and ordered the lobster diner. They were perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious.

So what is your favorite dinner meal?

Lobster Roll at Giacomo's

This was my lobster roll dinner at Giacomo's, which is located on the corner of Main and Union Street in Bangor. The lobster claws were served naked (without any dressing) on a piece of romaine lettuce tugged inside a toasted bun. The natural sweetness of the lobster claws were simply amazing.

So have you ever had a lobster roll? If so, where and when did you have it?
