From Boat to Plate at Robinson's Wharf

We had a great lunch at Robinson's Wharf on Southport Island, Maine. It was the second time we visited. The fun part was sitting on the dock at a table under an umbrella watching the lobster fisherman pull in with the days catch.

 The lobsters are sorted and placed in large plastic containers on the deck.

They are then hauled up to the dock, just feet from where we were eating. The lobsters are brought back to the Seafood Market which is part of Robinson's Wharf.

Most lobster 'shacks" boil their lobsters, but Robinson's steam them. The flavor is sweet and intense with no flavor lost to the boiling cauldrons.
