Our weeklong vacation in Maine is halfway through, and we have had sea food of one type or another almost every day.
One night my bro and I went down to Lewiston and bought lobsters and clams at Gendrons Seafood. Altogether, we got 17 lobsters and 17lbs of clams.
It was some good eating for sure. I had not had lobsters for quite a few years, and was only able to eat a little under 3 before stopping. I also was a bit rusty on what parts to eat and what not too eat. I did remember not to eat the brain, but cleaning the tail slipped by me on my first one.
The steamers, which I polished off a couple of plates worth, were quite tasty as well. Once I remembered to rinse them in hot water I was golden.
Lizzie, who is not a seafood fan, had a taste of my lobster, but was happy to eat crab cakes. She did have half of a lobster roll, which is lobster and mayo on a toasted roll.
Other Seafood meals other than lobster included haddock platters at LL Beans in Freeport, and Fish n Chips, and clam chowder at a place in Portland. But the Lobster feast tops the meals that we have had since being here in Maine.

Looks great! The biggest lobster I had was in a Steakhouse in Houston.
Shantanu, it was delicious.
The biggest lobster I ever saw or had the privilege to taste was a whopper my dad won in a contest when I was a kid. The claws alone were a little less than a foot long. But that was well over 40 years ago. From what I remember it was not that tasty because it was so big and tough. I believe my mom made chowder out of it.
