Maine Lobsterfest

This post is backing up to when we were in Maine. As you know, the state is known for lobster so we had our own lobsterfest. There are stands everywhere that sell lobster rolls, restaurants will all types of dishes and you can just buy fresh lobster at the grocery store. At our first campground, they offered a tank of lobster to pick from and they would cook it. We waited till we were further down the road and at that campground they cooked the lobster and delivered it to the trailer! As you can see, they are big and you eat the entire thing. It's work, like cracking crab and we didn't think such a big deal. Of course, you need copious amounts of butter.

Throughout the time in Maine we had other forms of lobster from lobster fettucini, rolls (just a hoagie roll stuffed with lobster meat and maybe seasoning), lobster bisque and chowder and other pasta dishes. We definitely had our fill.

Now, as we travel through eastern Canada there are many opportunities for lobster, fresh fish, scallops, oysters and all types of sea food. We've cooked some fresh salmon and are just beginning our seafood tour here.
