busy location but worth it. the type of place you bring that out of town friend or relative to experience shore side maine seafood. at first glance with harraseeket lobster pound's typical throngs of people, it does appear to be a tourist trap. do not mind all this and be patient and the food will really deliver: whole belly clams are giants, hefty gnarled spheres of golden crust enveloping mouthfuls of ocean nectar. on the side, you want onion rings: puffy circles of brittle sweet batter around a hoop of onion that still has crunch. clam cakes are good, too, their puffy dough holding dozens of little nuggets of marine goodness. the chowder is wonderful, but best of all is the lobster roll, served splayed open in a broad cardboard dish and packed with fresh lobster-sweet chunks of meat. have it with some of the best onion rings in the area. in addition to the good food lobster's are available at the 'pound' to be packed to go! do note that seating is outside with awning covered picnic tables. cash only. this is a seasonal business which opens around memorial day weekend to middle of october.
