I've loved the idea of food trucks built to mimic & recreate their flagship menu item. Say, a taco truck built to look like a taco, empanada truck to look like an empanada - all possibly driven from Dumb and Dumber - Lloyd and Harry's van that was customized to look like a St. Bernard or another such fluffy pooch. -How cool would it be for a Fish and Chips truck to look like a mackerel or a top neck? There should be a line around the Water Store to get a taste of Len's clam strip bellies, a possible mix of corn and pastry flour with no excess, form fitting like 90s spandex. Soaked in something wonderful, Len's head is always up and smiling between dunks and plating. I've had fried clams all over the country - Tacoma to Texas - and with Casco Bay where the water runs thru just next to us, there's that little grit of freshly dug clams. The clams that were lying just below the sandy surface a day ago and the tides right, so, shucked this very morning. It's like kissing the bay, the full bellied clam bite with a deep fried finish - delicious from start to finish.

It's just a tiny little shack on the side of the road (we missed it first time around and had to circle the roundabout), but do they ever serve up the right stuff! They serve a huge -- really huuuuge -- portion of fresh, crispy haddock with homemade tartar and lemon dill sauces. It's not a plate of fish, it's a BOWL of fish, And it comes with crunchy fries, also a big serving. We think that may ruiined us for anyone else's haddock for a long, long time. There are picnic tables for your dining and a small parking area. Oh, it's also cash only, so come prepared. Our thanks to all the Yelpers who have recommended Bet's; we're delighted to join the crowd.

That's how popular and good this place is. Finally, after two years of trying, we were able to enjoy the amazingly delicious fish fry that everyone raved about. The batter was light and flavorful... And the fish was cooked to perfection. Not one millimeter was overcooked or overly seasoned. The ladies who make this food know what they're doing, and it's been worth every single attempt. I also love the outdoor seating and the picnic benches as it only adds to the experience. I look forward to trying it again. Next time I visit Boothbay, Maine. Yum!

The waters are the coldest and deepest on the coast making delicious lobsters. They also have local dug clams, corn on the cob all cooked together giving it a delicious flavor. The fried onion rings are very good and large enough to share. The lobster rolls are delicious but the steamed lobsters are the best you can buy. We had 2 twin lobsters (1.25 lbs each) and corn on the cob for $30. You place your order at the Lobster hut (or other seafood and non seafood items at the Love Shack) and find a table on the docks. You can bring your own wine or beer. The water front view is breathtaking. Hands down the best lobster shack anywhere. Don't forget to get some ice cream before you leave. I had Wild Maine Blueberry and it was SO good!! Note... warning !! the only restrooms are 3 porta-John's and not very clean when we were there.

When we showed up there was a slow moving line to get I. The door to order. The weather was showing impending doom but we were not deterred. I have had quite a few lobsters in my life but this goes down as some of the largest ones I've ever eaten. You order your lobster by relative poundage and the. They get them and weight them to figure out your total. Everything except for butter is an extra. We ordered 3 2+ lb lobsters and one 1.5 lb lobster. Mine was huge and man the shell was so thick you could not even break it with crackers and we had to beg the staff to bring out something industrial and then it was even a challenge. It was amazing as these come pretty much straight off the boat to table. We just finished as the storms came crashing down. This is due. And sorry ambiance but well worth it b

Fantastic Lobster Rolls and fried clams…read more When I visited, we had the Lobster Roll and fried clams. The lobster wasn't overcooked, was plentiful, and enjoyable. The fried whole clams were not over-cooked and were juicy. This place is on the side of a road with outdoor seating, so if it's snowing or raining, you may need to eat in your car. I ate during the summer when the weather was good. The staff was extremely friendly when taking my order and it came out quickly. I am looking forward to visiting again and trying more of the menu, but a Lobster Rolls with Fried Clams or Oysters are my default order to try out a new spot, it shows the amount of lobster on a roll as well as their skill at frying. I wish that they were a little closer to Portland, as I will likely only stop by on my way to or from LL Bean in Freeport.

We weren't going to waste time and complain. That's the only gripe. Everything else was great. The steamers were sweet, the fried oysters were perfect, plump, juicy, and incredible. For $22, I'm hooked. BF had the burger and said it was one of the best burgers he had. Their coleslaw was great too, and so are the baked beans. I'm definitely coming back for more.
