If you’re looking for the best seafood, the only place you need to go is Maine! From the coasts to the hills, there aren’t many places where you’ll find yourself without an option for haddock, clams or lobster. But, one misconception is that you need to visit one of the newer places in Maine to find the best. Untrue! Some of the best seafood in Maine can be found in the local spots that have existed for decades. This place in Augusta, one of our favorites, is a great example. Check out the best seafood restaurant in Maine!

Augusta's Red Barn has been serving the community, both in spirit and with food, since 1977.

While the influx of chain restaurants has certainly changed the face of local restaurants in Maine, The Red Barn has evolved and remained an integral part of the community.

The red exterior gives way to the cozy inside, which can get pretty packed on busy days.

But, the food is what we're here for!
Of course, you can get a regular ol' sandwich - including chicken, cheese and hamburgers.

And, delicious french fries.

But what we're really excited about is the seafood, like fresh clam strips and scallops.
