They often have sugar free pies for diabetics like me. Go to Young's Lobster Pound for the only way to eat the freshest lobester. BYOB Sat Jun 27 22:08:37 -0700 1998 0 Charlie 1 847455 We were in Belfast, ME about a month ago and totally agree about Darby's. Great restaurant with lots of small-town atmosphere and good food. I had the seafood pot pie........excellent!

La Garage is an excellent dressy casual place down by the harbor, but my fave is a CHEAP place - the Sea Basket on Rt. 1. Being on The Route brings in the tourist trade, but it's also the favorite of locals (such as my parents). Specialty is FRESH, as in swimming-around-this-morning, fried seafood - and don't let "fried" put you off. The Basket's breading is subtly applied with a light hand, and it's fied just enough to finish the breading and cook the stuff inside. I prefer the combination platter, with clams, scallops, cod, shrimp, and whatever else happened to come up in the nets this morning. The chowder - fish, clam, and lobster - is also superb.

That's it! The Sea Basket is the place I was trying to think of when recommending lobsta rolls (I called it the "Clam" Basket). I make a point of being there at lunch or dinner time when I'm in the area. Ditto all the way! Tue Jun 20 14:58:22 -0700 2000 847614 0 M-L.
