Best lobster in Maine
We are heading to Maine next month staying in Bar Harbor, Boothbay and Old Orchard Beach. Looking for best places to eat! Thanks,

In Boothbay, on the east side, we like the Boothbay Lobster Wharf. It was first recommended to us by a sailing friend who visits the area often. Years ago (at least 10) there was a place near Shore Hills (and the now-closed Little Ponderosa) campground called "The Lobster Mainiac" - also a video store but they ran a boat and would steam and deliver lobster and steamers to your campsite at the parks.
In the Bar Harbor area, I would recommend Trenton Bridge Lobster Pound.
Can't recommend anything in OOB since we've never stayed there, but I will suggest to anyone visiting Maine that almost any supermarket has a lobster tank and will steam your lobsters for you at no additional charge. Just order them at the fish counter then go shop for your butter and lemon (and cracking/picking tools, if you don't have them). It takes about 15 minutes and they'll put the hot lobsters in an insulated deli bag so you can take them home/back to the RV. Current prices are running in the $5.99-8.99/lb depending on hard/soft shell and how large they are.
