Hi folks,

Where do you recommend I take my inlaws for lobster in southeastern Maine?

Kevin’s place. He was a lobsterman in a former life and I’ve never had better lobster before or since. But I lost his phone number years ago and can’t remember his last name, so I’ll recommend Cook’s Lobster House instead. Mostly because any restaurant that has a _dock_ instead of a loading dock is high on my list of places eat. 🙂

Five Islands.

Fabulous lobsters and the view is just as fabulous, if not more so.

Oh, and don’t cross-post. Against the rules and all of that.

This same thread is in IMHO, too, so I’ll close this one.
