New Enland 4: The Portland Lobster Company (Portland) and the Boothbay Lobster Wharf (Boothbay Harbor).

By Johntalbott


The Portland Lobster Company is a place that could be just one of a hundred stamped-out formuliac wharf-umbrella-food-wine&beer places on the Maine Coast but better.  Our gang of 12 ordered all over the lot: mussels, sea-burgers, fried clams, chicken fingers, boiled lobsters and a host of lobster rolls.  Ah lobster rolls, fresh outa the pound, on hot dog rolls and cardboard - there's one dish, the French, no matter how many years of study, can't "get."
