Hey KB, I was right on Pemaquid Point just down the road from the restaurant that is there on Capt. James Road. I can't remember the name of it, but my aunt used to hostess there.

We would have lobsters, steamers, corn on the cob, salt potatoes for dinner (with drawn butter, of course) and then I'd eat cold lobster rolls (with mayo and celery, salt and pepper) for breakfast for 3 days. Such memories!

Billyboy, I spend summers on Pemaquid Pont! My family goes way back there summering and I have tried to continue with my kids. Where in New haba where you?

Hubby and I are going to the North End tonight for our anniversary. No specific plans, but I've wanted to try Neptune Oyster. If we do, I'll send a report card.

To keep this ever-worthy subject alive and in view, I'd like to report that I had a really terrific hot buttered lobster roll yesterday at a place called Sam the Clam Pub and Grub in Plantsville, Ct. Large roll packed with claw meat and lots of knuckles, etc. Delicious! I don't know if this was unusual or not for the place as I,ve only been there a couple of times and always had fried food which is also great (whole bellies).
Kind of pricey at $16.95 but it did include a load of curly fries and an insipid cup of cole slaw. Definitely not a dressup place and you can't wear your colors according to to the sign but the service was good and everybody was friendly.

OK, found my copy of the Portland Press-Herald from June 28, 2006. Here are the eight places they highlighted in central/southern Maine for lobster rolls:

Bob's Seafood, Windham (won the 2005 title for "Maine's Best Lobster Roll from the Maine Lobster Promotion Council)
The Good Table, Cape Elizabeth
Miss Brunswick Diner, Brunswick
The Lobster Station Restaurant, South Portland
Nunan's Lobster Hut, Cape Porpoise
Harraseeket's, South Freeport
Two Lights Lobster Shack, Cape Elizabeth
Red's Eats, Wiscasset

So many New Englanders have forsaken the Mud Season and moved to Southwest Florida that some of the finest Lobster Rolls are found here. Try Steamers between Port Charlotte and Englewood, south of Sarasota. Maybe not on the menu but they have them and they are great!

Neptune Oyster is a fairly new spot in the North End on Salem St. Nice freindly and somewhat small. I haven't had the lobster roll but seen it served and it looked very good {I don't eat lobster} the clam chowder was very good and the raw bar was great. It's an ideal spot if you are dinning alone or with another person but not very codusive to large parties. It's two thumbs up on that spot. Chow Jim

Boston Magazine July 2006 has a "Lobster Blowout" section with top 20 lobster rolls within Boston's limits. Not all were Roadfood, but B&G Oysters were the favorite, SkipJack's is mentioned as a keeper and Neptune Oyster looks good too
Unfortuantely, I have never been to any of the places mentioned, I need to get out more....

While in Maine, we had several lobster rolls, including one at the Cod End Restaurant on the municpal dock in Tennant's Harbor. Beautiful setting. The lobster roll was OK (a little too much mayo for my taste).

I will try to find it on-line, but while we were in Maine, the Portland paper did a story on the best places for lobster rolls.

Pulse
I have been eyeing that Coveside place, the knuckle roll sounds good, the knuckles are my favorite part of the lobster, I will go in there next trip up, thanks for the tip!
As an aside, we introduced my daughter's Scottish boyfriend to Maine lobster this weekend, I am not too sure it was a hit, he liked the taste but disliked the shells (we got hard shelled) and would not let me help him. Needless to say, some bloodly fingers were involved...
I agrree on the Sea Basket, fresh, good food, have you tried the place on the wharf across from Reds?

If you are in mid-coast Maine, try the brand new little restaurant just a 1/2 mi north of Wiscasset, called Coveside Kitchen. They do a knuckle sandwich (lobster knuckle meat on a roll) that is really decent. Skip the fries - even though they are handcut, they are soggy and not worth eating. But their Maine Shrimp Roll is super - hand-breaded in the lightest dusting of flour - big portions - I couldn't eat it all. (And if you want a really cheap lobster dinner, this is the place - TEN DOLLARS gets you a lobster, a dozen steamers and corn!! If you want a twin lobster dinner, I think it's $18.95.)

Also in Wiscasset - the Sea Basket is low key, not a fancy place, and has really good lobster rolls, good clam rolls, and the best lobster stew I've ever had - rich and creamy with plenty of lobster meat.

Right now lobster is pretty cheap along the coast - about $6/lb - so you can find lots of reasonably priced lobster dinners and lobster rolls. Soft-shell lobster season is in, so the lobster is sweeter, a lot of people think it's better than regular lobster.

You guys have to try Bun N' Burger in Stratford for an awesome lobster roll! Butter and lemon are on the side and it is served on a New England roll. lobster is sweet and tender, and you get about 6-7 ounces in there. I think it is priced at 14.75 or so.

That sounds like an average price for a lobster roll.

I wanted to jump through my screen and attack that lobster roll and that heaping pile of fried clams! I've eaten at the Clam Box at least 100 times, maybe more. I love that place!!!!

I agree tmiles. That is a mouthwatering photo. I'm not sure if a New England trip is in the cards for me this year, but that lobster roll is acting as a temptress.

The lobster roll, from The Clambox, on the Roadfood opening page today looks great. I am sorry to say that I have never had one there, because we always go for the clams. This summer for sure....

Yes - you started another thread looking for reasonably-priced lobster, and a good lobster roll is an excellent way to get your taste for less than the price of a full lobster dinner (and easier to eat, too!)

It is useually large chunks of a mixture of claw/knuckels and chopped tails. I have never seen it ground or shreadded, but then again I don't eat the bugs. Chow Jim
