Many restaurants in Maine serve lobster.
Maine offers its residents and tourists scenic seacoasts,
beaches, more than 2,500 lakes and 5,000 streams, mountains and
resorts for skiing, snow recreation and other outdoor experiences. The Pine Tree State is known for its ideal lobster-harvesting conditions. This once-detested crustacean has become a succulent luxury. Mainers and their guests enjoy lobster in the salty air at the ever-evolving outdoor lobster shack.
