We pulled into this nice little seaside area and Dave hail down a cop. Ask where to park and he said to eat at The Landings Restaurant and Marina right alongside the parking area and next to the police station. I had a fried clam roll with homemade potato chips served in a paper bag which absorbed the fat from them but looked really gross and fatty, they were not hot and fresh like Chips in Ankeny Iowa. The others had the lobster roll with chips. The sandwich was much smaller than they were 20 years ago and cost much more. Walking back to the cars we noticed some novice painters painting the marina scene. Pat had a nice chat with them.
That evening we asked the desk clerk where to eat freshly prepared lobster? We are pointed back 4 miles to a roadside restaurant considered one of the best live preps in the Bar Harbor area. Dave ate a 4 lb lobster and I had a 3 lb lobster, the gals a lb lobster as was Jims. Of course we had a bag of mahogany clams to go with it. The table looked like a battle zone, we feel we won as body parts of those lobsters were strewn all over with butter running freely down every morsel that hit our mouth. Some ate sweet corn some had coleslaw. This was a great stop, looked like a dump and had wood picnic tables with old rubberized table cloths. We had to take a run to the grocery store to get some wine for the dinner. That was fine as we had to wait 25 minutes for the lobsters to cook. It is different to see the food alive before you eat it but that didn’t slow us down.
After that our journey went to downtown Bar Harbor. Has that changed over the last 20 years, walked around and had a beverage. The old large houses bring charm to that area. jerr
