Shannon's Unshelled

Top choice in Midcoast Maine


If you like your lobster rolls simple, with no accoutrements but melted butter on the side, Shannon's is ideal. The meat is fresh and there's lots of it, and it comes on thick, nicely toasted bread. Shannon's closes when it runs out of lobster – sometimes late afternoon, sometimes much earlier.

There's not much to these rolls except the experience of eating them, which is sublime.
