I chickened out and only ate one. Was plump and tasty; if I stop posting have Imma erase my history 

I went yesterday to an asian ayce. Straight up noped past the oysters and beelined for the sashimi.  Ma La chili hotpot had the same effect though.

I arrived in kennebunkport a couple hours ago and had my first lobster roll. The irish pub across the street is slamming and the band is going hard.

Will update over the next week as the oysters are ordered.

You should order lobster.  It is so choice.  If you have the means, I highly recommend picking some up.

A little further up North from Kennebunkport a pretty cool, good roadside stand...

Red’s is in wiscasset. We’re headed through there on tues. Our plan is for me to wait in line for red’s while the wife looks through the bookstore. That’s her thing.

Our first trip to Maine since moving to NY was to Boothbay Harbor and Red’s was enroute there.  IIRC, I got the lobster roll and a basket of clam strips enjoyed them both. If it weren’t for the gd in Dallas I’d be tempted to retire on Maine coast.

We’re headed to Camden tomorrow. I’ve compiled my lobster roll ranking list for portland and kennebunkport and ogunquit area.

1. Clam Shack - kennebunkport. Lobster was exceptionally sweet. Incredible flavor. No pics on this on one.

2. Nubb’s lobster shack - I thought this was a shack in a cove when driving there but it was at a resort. View of the Atlantic was gorgeous.

3. Eventide - portland - different style than others. They used spices to enhance the flavor. The bread was the best of the competitors.

4. Mabel’s Lobster Claw - kennebunkport- no flavor, disappointing. Do not recommend.

We had oysters at Eventide. The server selected some damriscotta other varieties.

Damriscotta oysters are farmed in the river so they are less salty than their counterparts. You can definitely taste the difference. From the list above, blackstone starts on the top and selections work their way down the list.

We had sushi at Rosella in kennebunkport. The tuna on the first pic on the far right was spectacular.

Check out the Owl and Turtle Bookshop & Cafe in Camden…I had coffee there after lunch and beer on the patio at Sea Dog Brewpub…Camden is a quintessential Maine harbor town enjoy! 

I am not a coffee drinker. However, the wife is very much a coffee snob. She prefers pour-over light roast costa rican beans. That’s her game at home.

My pre-game research shows whistling whale coffee bar has workshops and pour-over coffee. That was what I identified as a likely candidate for suitable coffee for her. Have you tried whistling whale?
