Maine is known for some pretty iconic things, like having just as many moose up north as we have people, or a sweet taste of a blueberry pie, but nothing is more important to the state than the lobster. This delicious red shellfish is like a beloved state mascot just begging to be eaten. The hidden gem known as Shaw’s in New Harbor, Maine, has been serving up fresh lobsters for years. If you haven’t been then it’s time to find your way to this seafood place and see what all the hype is about.

Shaw’s Fish and Lobster Wharf is an active and working fishing harbor bringing in fresh hauls every day.

The seafood is fresh from the sea to your plate and you can taste the difference. Watch the workers pull the catch of the day, or just meander around the docks among the lobster traps and buoys.
The view is incredible from the restaurant.

Take a deep breath of the salty ocean air and slow things down a little bit. The view of the water or the picturesque lobster boats bobbing in the sea are classic Maine backdrops.
The restaurant itself is a little unassuming, you might just pass it if you don’t know what you are looking for.

The large sign will help let you know you are in the right place but other than that the entire restaurant looks just like a working fishing wharf. We like to think of it as a little local secret and keep it all to ourselves.
