There is definitely a lot more coast to come which means seafood will still be plentiful, but I have made it to the big stops: Maine lobster and Maryland crab. My adventures in seafood have been nothing less than fabulous, so I thought I would share. The most rich thing I have had so far is the stews. I had both lobster and crab stew and will be making this recipe for years to come. I have to say though besides the tail, lobster is not my personal favorite. I like shellfish the best. Clams, oysters, mussels. The fried clam bellies had a different breading on it that melted in your mouth. Truly any seafood I saw I ate. SEE FOOD...SEAFOOD! The soft shell crab was the weirdest thing I tried. The legs tasted great, but I couldn't get into eating the whole body.
Here are a few seafood restaurant recommendations: Portland, Maine: http://www.gilbertschowderhouse.com/ Try the lobster stew and the clam bellies! http://portholemaine.com/ It's fun and on the water, the fries are delish and the staff was super friendly and helpful. I liked that you had the option to have your lobster roll prepared 3 ways. * If you want a crab roll or a shrimp roll get it while you're in Maine. Don't wait until you're Maryland because I made that mistake and I didn't see any crab rolls on any menu in Maryland. Provincetown, Massachusetts: http://www.ptownlobsterpot.com/ Annapolis, Maryland: http://www.boatyardbarandgrill.com/ The menu offers an overwhelming variety and you can't go wrong with any item. For me any thing that said made with brown butter was a winner. I don't know what makes it so good but brown butter rules.
