The 10 Best Lobster Shacks In Maine- Slide 1 - Slideshows | Travel + Leisure

Many years ago my family lived in ME for four years. Ate lots and lots of lobster. We lived in a small town about 35 miles SW of Portland: Limerick.

Live, fresh, ME lobster. There's nothing better.

The "shack" doesn't have anything to do with the taste of the lobster unless the cook doesn't know how to cook. The "shack" is more about location and atmosphere. Lobsters can be cooked anywhere and be delicious--on the ball field in Bar Harbor on the 4th of July, on the beach at a clambake in various locations, Lunt's Gateway Lobster Pound, Trenton Bridge Lobster Pound, Downeast Lobster (all in Trenton), inside restaurants. (Personally, I would avoid Red Lobster.)

If you agree with this news story, the taste is all about the gentle handling of the lobster. There's also a statement that Stonington lobsters taste better than other lobsters. http://www.bangordailynews.com/2012/...and-and-value/

OF COURSE Stonington lobsters taste better. And oddly enough, we don't have any "lobster shacks" here in Stonington.

Cabbage island clambakes shoulda been on the list- its an event, take a tour boat out from boothbay harbor to an island, have a lobsterbake and a nice tour ride back

I think a wise entrepenuer should have one of these restaurants right on the water and the customers/tourists could go out on a lobsterboat to see a few traps being hauled-just to see, then come back and have the lobster dinners
