The Ferry Ride To Island Lobster Company In Maine As Fantastic As The Seafood

It’s not every day that we find a restaurant requiring extra work to visit that we’re willing to see. In Maine, it’s not uncommon for a friend to share a story about a place they visited that’s completely inconvenient, but has delicious food. We love the idea of those spots, but we’re not quick to jump in the car to check them out. But this place is different! It’s located on an island in Casco Bay and visiting requires a short boat ride that we love taking!

Island Lobster Company is located on Peaks Island, the beauty that sits in Casco Bay about 10 minutes from Portland. The best way to get there is by the Casco Bay Ferry service and while it might not be as easy as driving, the ride over is worth having to stick to their schedule.

The ambiance is great. With a large lawn filled with picnic tables overlooking the water, this spot is as Maine as it gets.

The only way it could be *more* Maine is with a lobster roll. And, looks like they make some of the best! Just look at this meat.

It's no wonder that they serve the best lobster rolls. This place is owned by a commercial lobstering family and we love supporting them.

If you're not relaxed enough after the ferry right across Casco Bay, considerig grabbing a drink and a seat outside to let the salty ocean air ease your mind.

In addition to fantastic seafood, they also offer sides like fries.

And if you even like your side dishes to remind you that you're in Maine. Lobster poutine, is the way to go!

Don't forget the strawberry shortcake for dessert.

And for something a little more special, head downstairs to their bar. The Skegg menu has some amazing Maine food, including a basket of island oysters, and east meets west lobster roll and a truffle lobster roll.

Island Lobster Company is open daily from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. during the season which runs from the spring through the fall. You can learn more about the restaurant and see a menu by visiting their website. You can also follow them on Facebook to keep up-to-date on weather closures and seasonally schedule changes. The Casco Bay ferry schedule can be found here. Rides from Portland to Peaks Island are $7.70 for adults and $3.85 for adults 65+ and kids 5 to 15 years old.

They can be reached at 207-956-7488.

You’ll love visiting Island Lobster Company, but if you want to enjoy more you’ll want to take things on the road. There’s nothing better than this mouthwatering lobster roll trail in Maine!
