It takes an American lobster 6-7 years to get to an edible size, but that is just the beginning. Lobsters are long-lived animals, and are thought to be capable of living over 100 years.
-Lobster Facts
It's the place where local folk and visitors frequent in Ogunquit. The Lobster Shack is THE quintessential Maine lobster shack. If you are visiting Ogunquit, this is a must. It's lobster in the semi-rough.
The Shack, once a lobster bait shack located deep in Perkins Cove near the wooden draw bridge, offers a simple menu: fresh Maine lobsters, Steamers, lobster roll, crab sandwiches, hot chowder and cold beer. It's a very casual where you place your order at the counter and the server brings to you. Seating is limited: tables with benches. Lots of napkins, and fresh drawn butter.
I went to dinner with my buddy, Ogunquit Selectman Bobby Winn, and Diana. We wanted something easy and not too fussy.
Owner Jason Evans, mans the counter and greets guests. I picked my lobster, a pound & halfer! Jason's family has owned and operated The Shack since the 80's.
We feasted on steamers, lobster, chowder and sandwiches!

The Lobster Shack is one of our favs too. Jason's Dad, John was friends with my late parents. We miss all of them--Jason carries on the tradition and adds his own touch. Did you see him on the Today show back in July?
ReplyDeleteHis dad, was a nice guy, and yes did see the Today show.
ReplyDeleteAsk your clients, your representatives and your suppliers what makes your eatery unique or extraordinary. Maybe you have a one of a kind formula that individuals truly acknowledge and come to appreciate, or maybe your culinary expert leaves the kitchen and welcomes the customers, or you have bilingual servers who can speak with remote voyagers in their local dialects. cafe sol bristol ny
