Best lobster pounds in Maine - Bar Harbor and Boothbay Harbor

[RickKay]

We're off to Maine in early May. Any good suggestions for simple lobster pounds where the critter is boiled in sea water and where the dining is outdoors by the water?

Unfortunately I don't think the lobster pounds in Boothbay Harbor will be open that early - The Boothbay Lobster Wharf says mid May.

Muscongus Bay Lobster in Round Pond opens on May 11th - I haven't been there yet but folks rave about the place so it's on my list for this year. Does that help?

I forgot to mention Robinson's Wharf in Southport - they are open. It's not a simple lobster shack but it is a working lobster dock with outside dining and you can get a good boiled lobster.

Many thanks for your suggestions.
