What trip to Maine would be complete without lobstah, right? 
At Belfast, Maine’s Three Tides, I took part in my first lobster bake! The owner baked about 15 lobsters, along with new potatoes, corn on the cob, eggs, and clams, in 1,000 pounds of seaweed over a flaming, hot fire. The seaweed pop-popped as the food neared being ready, and the smell was delish.
Seeing it baked this way was very cool! The seaweed gave the lobster a little bit of a smoky flavor and kept it superbly moist. It easily was the best lobster I ever have eaten!

Glad you tried lobster, they're almost a common as chickens elsewhere. Hopefully someone guided you to the chowda, full of big whole clams not little bitsy bits.
How very yummy looking. I love lobster...pair that with a good white wine and I'm a very happy camper.
I've not been to Maine...which is lobster capital, much to my chagrin. Have had chowder and seafood all through CT, NJ and NY though.
I agree with El Jefe and the earlier poster. I SOOOO love lobster and clam 'chowdah'. Cape Cod has some nice chowdah and they have some good lobsters too.
Love the pictures. Makin' me long for some lobstah.
