The Lobster Pound

On Wednesday September 19, we decided to try the Lobster Pound down the street from us.  We had stopped by the day before on our afternoon bike ride and a very nice young man showed us the lobsters and told us quite a bit about how to choose a nice one.  The restaurant is set back from the road in a beautiful setting of huge pine trees.   

We started off our dinner with some Lobster Bisque soup which was very tasty.  Then we went outside to select our lobster from the "pound".  Will, the nice young man from the day before was there and was happy to help us pick out a good one for dinner.  He helped us pick out a big 3-pound male with giant claws.

 After you pick out the one you want , they weigh it and then cook it in huge pots in seawater piped in from the Ogunquit River right behind the restaurant.  Our lobster was delicious.  The claw meat was our favorite part and the claws on our lobster where huge! We really enjoyed our Maine lobster dinner.
