ReviewsIt All Depends Where do you go, if you're in Midcoast Maine, and you want a decent lobster roll, those exquisite whole-belly fried clams, and some tasty chowder? You might try The Lobster Pound, in Lincolnville. It has a pretty nice view of Penobscot Bay, since it's located there on the water. Before ordering our meal, we saw some good-looking platters going by, with lobsters, shrimp, and other assorted seafood delicacies. But since our taste buds we telling us to go with the morsels we had already been spoiled with along the Maine coast, we wanted more of the same. So here's what we had, along with the mini-reviews of each bit of our meal: Where do you go, if you're in Midcoast Maine, and you want a decent lobster roll, those exquisite whole-belly fried clams, and some tasty chowder?

But since our taste buds we telling us to go with the morsels we had already been spoiled with along the Maine coast, we wanted more of the same. So here's what we had, along with the mini-reviews of each bit of our meal: Steamer Clams (1 1/2 #'s) -- Excellent. Tender and moist. Just the way they should be. Lobster Roll -- Not enough meat; too much mayonnaise. (Go to Red's Eats, in Wiscasett, for Maine's best Lobster Roll, without a doubt.) The Lobster Pund's is fairly good and fresh. But it could be bigger and more lobstery. Fried Clam Roll -- Not bad, but too much breading. Fried clams need to have very little breading: just enough to contain, but not overpower, the tender, juicy flavor of the clams. The Lobster Pound disappoints here. Kate's Restaurant, in Rockland, has superior fried clams. (But stay away from their chowder, unless you like frozen clams.) Clam Chowder -- Very Good. A sizeable portion of steamer clams in every cup. Great flavor. Fresh tasting. No frozen or canned clams, as some Maine restaurants shockingly use. By all means, head out to the Lobster Pound. But don't expect that everything will meet the high standards of veteran lobster roll-eaters, or fried clam connoisseurs. Food Rating [6/10] Service Rating [10/10] Ambiance Rating [8/10]
