Jim and Scot recently flew into Rockland, Maine while working and lucky for me they went to lunch at Claws Restaurant and they were kind enough to bring me home some Award winning lobster bisque.
Claws is located at 743 Main Street in Rockland , Maine. They are open 7 days a week from 11 am to 9 pm. They have a deck overlooking the water making the perfect place for lunch!
If you follow my blog you can most likely guess what Jim ordered at this quintessential seafood shack, you got it the fried haddock sandwich. ($15.00). The perfectly fried sandwich comes with lettuce, tomato, red onion on a buttered and toasted brioche bun. French fries on the side along with a side of home made tarter sauce. Jim really enjoyed his sandwich and cleaned his plate!
Scot had the lobster taco’s, ($22.00) the lobster taco’s are butter poached taco’s with crispy zesty slaw and cilantro lime cream served with crispy tortilla chips, house made blueberry pico de gallo and not to be forgotten a blueberry biscuit. I have it on good authority that Scot enjoyed his lunch as much as Jim did.
Before they left they ordered a cup of gluten free lobster bisque ($8.00) to bring home to me. (They were able to get some ice at the airport so it could make it home safe) Claws lobster bisque and clam chowder are both gluten free along with many other things on the menu but they are also award winning as they have been voted the best of Knox county in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021. That’s very impressive as we know Rockland Maine has been named the Lobster capital of the world. The bisque was very good, it was rich and creamy just as you would expect but something I did not expect was the amount of herbs and seasonings in it. This bisque did not disappoint. Lots of lobster flavor, lobster pieces and herbs. I can understand why it’s award winning.
You can find more information and the full menu on their website and Facebook page.
If you find yourself in Rockland , Maine give Claws Restaurant a try and tell them Jim and Scot sent you!
Enjoy!
