Lobsta Truck Information

The Lobsta Truck came about after a innocent autumn trip to New England. It all started after a long drive through the White National Forest, arriving at our first lobster shack in South Freeport, ME, the Harraseeket Lunch & Lobster Company. Here we ordered two fresh cooked Maine lobsters with drawn butter, fried clams, and some lemonade. The meal was delicious, but it was only the start of our two-day Maine lobsterfest.

While lobster was not on the menu for dinner that night (we went to a very good restaurant called Fore Street in downtown Portland and had more seafood), we were ready for more the following day. Our first stop of the day was at the Clam Shack in Kennebunk, ME (the same Kennebunk that the Bush family compound is located in). There was not much of a line at the Clam Shack and the lobster roll came out fairly quickly along with some steamer clams we ordered. Instead of coming out on a traditional New England split top roll, the lobster roll came in hamburger style buns. The lobster roll was good, but not as good as our first roll and definitely did not have as much meat as Red's. After our meal, we strolled around Kennebunk for a little while and then headed to our next lobster meal at Barnacle Billy's in Ogunquit, ME. Ogunquit is a beatiful little town and definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. Barnacle ...
