Pool Street Market
As we trekked along the Maine coast, we had to stop in Biddeford Maine. This is where Stuart McLean ate a dozen or so lobster rolls. We stopped at the Pool Street Market to get one. We took it down to the beach and ate it watching the calm surf. Well, I must admit is was a great lobster roll. We ordered the Dr. Winn. It is made on a sub bun with about a pound of lobster. True to Dr. Winn himself, we ate with knives and forks and saved the roll. Later that evening, we put a little garlic butter on the roll, browned it and ate it with dinner. What a fabulous way to continue to enjoy the lobster roll.
When I was in Shediac, I also ate a lobster roll, and speculated which might be better. Well, after having both the classic Canadian buttery lobster roll and the massive Dr. Winn of Maine, I must admit that it was a very close race. One in which each had its own delectable characteristics. Shediac, buttery, smooth, incredible lobster, Biddeford, massive, big chunks, great flavour.
The bottom line goes back to one question, it is the one question that you ask someone leaving a restaurant as you are entering: "Would you eat there again?" If the person pauses at all before answering, you had better find yourself somewhere else to eat. And when it comes to lobster rolls, the answer to that question is YES! Yes, to Shediac, and yes to Biddeford.
