Best time for lobster?

Wife wants a trip to drive part of the east coast and hit lobster shacks and seafood restaurants. Whats the best time of year price wise, people wise ( the less the better )?

And any cool places for a long 4 day weekend type trip.

Thanks

Summer

I would say between 4:00 and 7:00 pm.

i fish lobster here in the winter but lobster is best out of season in summer

Thanks daury

Thats the kind of info i was looking for, out here crab is a winter catch although one can catch it during other months on a sport license. And i know there is no nonresident lobster fishing for sport.

Would early May or mid September still have places open to avoid the crowd?

I worked up there the first 2 weeks of Oct a few years back and I was the only out of stater in the whole place

Lobstah roll....yummy. Made in Maine



This past August , in Kittery.

we were up there a few years back , pulled trailer over for 3 week stay , stay in south harbor area , only saw a lot of people when we went to tourist traps , bar-harbor , and 7 mile beach , the rest of the time was great , ate lobster three times a day :), it was a good trip an wife wants to go back ,

3 times a day? were u buying it reasonable or just biting the bullit? Once every few weeks is rich enough for this old stomache.
Been planning this trip with my son.

Best time? Anytime,son asked today so tonight lobster and shrimp

Tuckaway Tavern in Raymond NH......has 2 for 1 lobster rolls on Monday and Tuesday every week . 1/2 pound of lobster meat each...plus fries...for 34.95

guess im spoiled to the garlic butter dip,I showed my son and he wrinkled his nose...haha

Throw in some fried clams and you're dining like a king. You could walk up the Maine coast stepping on nothing but the decks of lobster shacks. US Route 1 runs the entire coast and it feels like a miles long logjam in the summertime with the tangle of tourists. You shouldn't have a hard time finding lobster no matter the season with a bit of asking around.

planning on a drive up this summah,,thanks for the tips and keep them coming!!!

Best time is when its on the Table.

I prefer fresh shrimp though

Keep the locations for the feeds coming please guys,,son and I are planning a trip this spring

Yummy!!!!!!!!!!

The whole eastern shore from Rockland up thru Belast and Bar Harbor. Seafood restaurants everywhere and some places you can buy right off the docked boats.

Red's Lobster in Wiscassit Maine. It is a little hole but it is famous for the best in Maine http://www.redseatsmaine.com/

im droolin already

Stay away from bigger cities. Look for out of the way places that are not big tourist traps. Smaller towns. Cooking your own is best. Buy whole live lobsters. For me lobster rolls are ok but its not something I would eat in Maine due to the available supply of live. If you want chowder try to find a place that serves small whole belly. Haddock is better than cod for fried fish. Times to go are like most tourist areas. Middle of May before memorial day. In the fall when you can catch the leaves turning is nice but more tourists. New England in the fall if beautiful.

Young's Belfast Maine - Summer

To me anytime you can buy right off the docked boats is best.

We went to the coast after leaving trapping convention at Olsen's a couple years ago. Whole live lobster was $4.99/# everywhere including a rest area on the 4 lane heading to Mass

Shrimp is one of my favorites

I much prefer Dungenesssssss over lobster any day

I cook lobster very similar to the way I cook crawfish, and I can eat more of it than I can afford here. I’d love to be able to eat it more often.


Good luck on your quest!
