Enjoy Delectable Coastal Treats in Maine’s MidCoast

Coastal living means coastal eating! And Maine’s MidCoast restaurants are sprawling with seafood creations that will make your mouth water. Locally cultivated oysters and some of Maine's most famous "clam shacks" are found in the region. And, of course, lobster, fresh fish, and "chowdah" are always on the menu. But your meal doesn’t have to be from the ocean. There are plenty of diners, pubs, upscale, and family establishments serving everything from blueberry pancakes and waffles smothered in Maine maple syrup to 100 percent Angus burgers and cuisine from around the world.
