You are the sweetest person!
Of course, lobster tastes so special in Maine because Maine has the best lobsters in the world. And on St. George’s Peninsula, they comes right up out of the bay and on your plate within a half hour. Some excellent cole slaw, some chips and you are set. We have friends in Maryland so we always have fresh crabs when we visit. America is an amazing place!
I have friends in Arizona. She’s a foodie and loves the Mexican food served down there; I’m sure you have plenty of wonderful restaurants. Hope some day to visit that part of the country.
A funny issue is we are from Kansas City and only moved here six years ago as we neared retirement. In Kansas City, steakhouses and barbecue joints are religious sites.
In Phoenix, we get stringy cattle out of western feed lots and like the produce, it is dried out and not up to our standards. I found a custom meat shop that gets their prime and choice grades shipped in from Omaha Beef every week. It is about the only way I can survive. It is possible to get some fair trout and salmon and we are at that point in life where we have to eat what we should instead of what we want.
Kansas City also had some good Italian joints and that is really a thing of the past for us. (Bagulia’s Italian Sausage comes to mind for those in the know)
Next time we try Maine we will head east from Georgetown and Kennebec and try your area. There are so many wonderful towns and small harbors.

Please don’t take miss marmelstein litteraly. Lobsters in Maine do not litteraly crawl out of the ocean and onto your plate ready to eat. (They also take a couple of hours to get from water to boat to pound to restaurant and then your plate.)
