People from away have been flocking to Maine for decades to enjoy the local, fresh lobster pulled from the waters just off the coast. While we can’t blame them for the love of lobster, we have a little secret most tourists don’t know. Crab here in Vacationland is some of the best as well! Head to the best crab shack in Maine to enjoy the other great seafood choices we offer.
Day’s Crabmeat & Lobster has been serving up seafood along the Cousins River in Yarmouth since 1929!

And their large menu of other fried seafood is top-notch as well.

This is the crab roll and fish sandwich, presented casually just as you’d expect at a Maine seafood shack.

If you’re traveling with folks who don’t appreciate local seafood (what?!) it’s easy to get a combination of foods, including the lobster roll, crab rolls and Maine hot dogs.

Day’s also sells sell cooked and live lobsters caught by local fishermen. Head to the pound to choose the lobsters you want and they’ll take care of everything else.

But, no matter what you order the views over the river, the quiet breezes and the un-fussy location will keep you happy.
