The Best Lobster Rolls in Portland, Maine | Bon Appétit

"Nestled on the working waterfront, where you can watch local lobster harvesters bring in the day’s haul, this iconic blue-and-white bistro has been a neighborhood fixture since it first opened in 1977. A favorite of Anthony Bourdain’s, it’s the kind of place where you might sit shoulder to shoulder with the actual lobsterman who caught your lunch. Kick off your meal with a cheap beer and an order of steamers (a local delicacy of soft-shell clams that the friendly staff will happily show you how to clean and eat), then move along to the lobster roll. Here the tender meat is completely unadorned and piled on top of a grilled split-top bun with a leaf of green lettuce—and the mayo comes on the side, thank you very much." - ByBriana Bononcini
