If there’s one thing that comes to everyone’s mind when they think about Maine it’s lobster! Fresh from the sea, buttered and wedged between a roll or in any other form, this is one food that can’t be missed on a trip to Maine. But there are so many places to get it, how do you choose? We love the idea of making this spot a priority. Their lobster is fresh-caught and the views are some of the most beautiful we’ve seen. Plus, as a general store, you can get just about anything else you might need while you’re there.
Welcome to Pool Lobster at Goldthwaite’s located in Biddeford Pool.
