Your Guide to Authentic Regional Eats
Maine means lobster for many of us, but Maine is also a great place to try all manner of seafood, including the fine smoked versions turned out by Grindstone Neck. Located on the picturesque Schoodic Peninsula, Grindstone is not a restaurant, but a seafood smokehouse, owned by a local restaurateur/innkeeper. There's a retail store on the premises, but you'll have to take your purchases someplace else to enjoy them. We found their parking lot to be quite suitable, as we tore open the package of moist, smoky, and intense hot-smoked salmon. Just as good were the smoked shrimp and smoked scallops, sold in six-ounce plastic containers. They have a variety of other smoked seafood products, including mussels, oysters, trout, haddock, and salmon in several styles.
