A summer haven made famous by the Bush Family, the seaside beach town of Kennebunkport is one of the most picturesque in New England. And while visitors flock to the quaint downtown for food, one of the most quintessential spots for enjoying fresh seafood and spectacular views lies just north in the small village of Biddeford Pool. Tucked in the back of Goldthwaithes neighborhood grocery–a staple in the community since 1989–you’ll find a hidden gem, Pool Lobster.

In addition to the freshest, most delicious lobster around, Pool Lobster offers an extensive menu of seafood & non-seafood items. My pick– well, that’s like asking me to pick my favorite child. If you’re up for getting your hands dirty, the fresh steamed lobster never disappoints (for a little extra sweetness, ask if soft shell lobster is in season ). The lobster rolls and famous creamy chowder are always crowd favorites. And for those who have worked up a real appetite on the beach, the Maine-on-a-Plate features an entire lobster, steamers, mussels, corn on the cob and bread. But wait–save room for dessert! With Maine’s Gifford’s Ice Cream served on site, you won’t want to miss out on Maine Blueberry or Maine Blackbear.

If a trip to Maine isn’t on your agenda this year (boo hiss), but you still want to enjoy some fresh “lobsta”, Pool Lobster ships direct, overnight anywhere in the U.S., all year round!
