Eating lobster in Old Orchard Beach – a true Mainer experience.
A common question asked by guests is where to get the best lobster. It’s almost part of the itinerary when visiting Maine, a bucket list for the traveler and a must do when any lobster lover visits our state. It’s not just about eating the lobster – it’s a true Mainer experience!
The lobster industry has become a way of life in Maine with families passing down the lobster businesses from generation to generation. The bulk of the work of the lobsterman is baiting, setting and checking traps. Maine lobsters can be found off the coast in the cool Atlantic waters. These cold-water lobsters are known for freshness and delicious taste, attributing to Maine’s lobster catch accounting for more than half of all lobsters trapped in the United States.
Some ways to get your lobster fix in Old Orchard Beach is to venture to one of our many of restaurants that specialize in lobster delicacies, such as: lobster mac and cheese (Surf 6), lobster cakes (Pine Point Grill), lobster flatbread (The Bait Shed), a traditional Maine Lobster Dinner (Clambake) and of course lobster rolls (my daughter loves the Strike zone).
Another idea is to host your own lobster bake. There are several local places where you could pick up and cook your own lobsters such as Beach Lobster & Farmstand. And if you wanted to take a part of the Maine experience back home with you, you can also have lobsters shipped from places such as Bayley’s Lobster Pound.
