Mabel's Lobster Claw

"Coastal New England's signature summer dish: a shore dinner. Pictured here are the lobster and a heap of steamer clams with a bowl of broth for dunking. Of course, you'll also want chowder, potatoes, corn, and a slice of Mabel's peanut butter ice cream pie."
Michael Stern






"One of lobster's most deluxe presentations is Newberg, in which the chunks of meat are cosseted in a buttery sherry cream sauce. It's an old-fashioned dish, fairly rare on modern menus. Mabel's version is excellent."
Michael Stern



"In this part of Maine, no self-respecting eatery would dare serve a lobster roll that isn't overflowing with large chunks of claw, knuckle, and tail meat. The lettuce just below is a good barrier to prevent the bun from sogging out."
Michael Stern



"Clam chowder, Yankee style, is thick and creamy."
Michael Stern



"Mabel's has been a favorite among citizens and summer visitors for a half century."
