Sometimes adventuring off the beaten path is exactly what you need and this little lobster stand is the PERFECT example of that.
We found it by accident while we were traveling through the area and we are so glad we did! The owner, whose name we somehow didn’t get, was so welcoming and personable and my partner loved the knowledge she shared as we waited for his lobster to cook. The lobster was fresh and perfectly done, the only thing missing was some butter, but honestly it was yummy just the same.
Her little storefront, where you can find all sorts of little items, was great to look through while we waited. I made sure to buy a couple things 😉 What made it extra special were all the hand crafted items made by the owner, her mother, and 90 year old Grandmother- 3 generations of crafting!!! It just made the whole experience even better.
Thank you so much for welcoming us! We will be back and highly recommend anyone looking for an adventure to find your way to the community of Phippsburg and most definitely to Crabby Lobster Seafood. Dont let the dirt road scare you away…it’s...
   Read moreThis is the real deal. This family has been mucking about in lobster boats for generations, and they boil their catch on site for a fair price. We came today and they made a small error on our order (one lobster short). They offered to cook up another right away, or to deliver a bigger lobster to our place nearby when it was ready. Though we didn't have time for that, they gave us a refund and offered us two smaller, fresh lobsters in its place, which was really far more generous than necessary. The lobster was delicious and incredibly fresh. My whole family raved at how sweet and perfectly cooked our meal was, but the thing that will forever stick with me is this mom and pop business and their strong sense of hospitality and caring for the customer. I am grateful to have found a hidden gem in Phippsburg, a place my family will come back to...
   Read moreWe stopped at Crabby Lobster to inquire about cooked lobsters for our dinner after a long day of local walks. The lobsters had been caught several hours earlier and we picked our own out of the tank which were then cooked while we waited (we could have called ahead but we enjoyed seeing the entire process while we chatted with the owners about their lobster business). We also purchased butter and a cracker/picker since we are staying in an area hotel and do not have these items. All of this was just under $40 which is amazing for such perfectly cooked, fresh lobster! The owners are so lovely and we enjoyed learning more about their business and life in Maine. Forget buying lobster in a restaurant-this is by far the best way to eat lobster and is some of the best we have ever eaten. Highly recommended and we'll be...
