Dine On A Working Lobster Pound At This Unique Restaurant In Maine

If you know anything about Maine, you know full well that lobster is where it's at. We boast of the best-tasting lobster around. Nothing compares to this delicious bottom-dwelling sea critter. The real question is where do you get them? With so many options and many of them are great, allow us to suggest not only an amazing tasting lobster but also a unique location.

The Boothbay Lobster Wharf is a fully functioning, start to finish, lobster pound.

You can watch the processes all the way through from bringing them in from the bay to your plate. This makes for a unique experience. The restaurant itself sits right on the wharf with many access points to get right down to the water and right up close to the docked boats.

Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating options are here.

On those cool misty afternoons when you want to get out of the elements, or an outdoor seating area that will give you great views of the bay.

Lobsters are really the main attraction here. Freshly caught from the sea. You can also pick your own in the large tank when you order.

Steaming red and delicious.

These lobsters are just waiting to be cracked into, extracting the meat before dipping it into gratuitous amounts of butter. They also have excellent steamed clams to add to your order.

The good old fashion lobster roll is also available.

Taking out the hard work of cracking into one yourself, these mouth-watering delicacies are sure to satisfy. There are plenty of other choices too if you don't want Maines's favorite shellfish. Salads, Quesadillas, steak, and many great fried options like shrimp, and fish and chips. Boothbay Lobster Wharf has something to ensure you leave full and happy.

The backdrop to your meal is Boothbay Harbor. The views are incredible and the sunsets are fantastic.

We will let you in on a little-known local secret though. When you walk down to the water on the wharf keep a close look out into the water. Many times you will see jellyfish swimming or starfish attached to the pillars. It's an interesting find and something most people can easily miss if you don't know what you are looking for.

So come for the lobsters and stay for the views. This restaurant is truly amazing to be a part of the process of catching lobsters and bringing them right to your plate. Enjoy the uniqueness and enjoy the delicious seafood. The Boothbay Lobster Wharf is sure to impress.
