You will never find any seafood better than in Maine. Nowhere! Cruise ship lobster is nothing compared to Maine. Glad you got to enjoy it all. Love Maine. Especially in the Fall.
I live in New Hampshire so we go to coastal Maine often especially Kennebunkport. Always go to Allison’s for their lobster and clam chowder. Love coastal Maine - Boothbay Harbor and Bar Harbor among other towns.
"Tastes like a dentist's office...." 😂😂😂😂 We love y'all's videos, but I gotta say, this is probably my favorite of them all. We were cracking up! Loved that rug! "Gretchen and Richard" (we named them) behind y'all at the restaurant you went to for dinner were a hoot too with their disapproving looks. Gotta love people like that! Thanks for a fun video!
@@EECCTravels We provided commentary too because their faces were so expressive. Side Note, we've experienced this. Tommy and Jason are very similar and so are you and I.
This video is the one that has seriously made me get ready to book another trip to Maine ASAP! There lobster rolls are seriously night and day different than other places!! 🦞
When you pull out the tail meat you need to separate the small thin strip to remove a line of the intestines that runs the length of the tail. My family won 25 lobsters one year and we had to cook them and clean them all. But grew up in New England so you get to know how to clean a lobster. So glad you go to enjoy the area.
I'm from Maine and find it so funny how we all have our different ways of eating it! In my house my husband doesn't like it. Tries it every year, still doesn't like it. My preference is cooled lobster tail dipped in hot butter. No seasonings in either. My mother only goes for the claws which works out perfect! Same deal though, cold lobster dipped in hot butter. My father takes all the lobster and mixes into melted butter and eats it that way. We are lucky enough to have friends that own a boat yard and traps so we get it EXTREMELY fresh, straight from the ocean! Maine lobster is like no other. I went to a restaurant where I got a tail and found out the hard way it wasn't Maine lobster. I did not like it at all! This is the first video I have watched from you guys, but I really hope you made it to more in Maine because Kennebunkport isn't even that far in!
Did you get to see summer home of the Bush family. George H. W. Bush loved his boat. Coming in from a day of fishing at the entrance into the river we met the Coast Guard. As we made our way back we passed the marina where his boat was getting ready for him to go out. Walkers Point is the name of the property.
Love this vlog! We lived in Maine for years and love seeing folks discover what a magical place it is. The food is great, Maniacs are super friendly and, as you saw, it's just beautiful there!
I worked in Maine off and on for years for the navy and it was so awesome seeing someone else discover New England seafood and now you know why most people get the twin lobsters.
I absolutely loved watching you both eating and enjoying the lobster 🦞. There’s nothing like fresh seafood from the cold waters of the eastern seaboard it’s the best!! I’m so happy it didn’t disappoint. 👌🏻
Only half way through this video but had to tell you, I’m so excited you made it to Maine! I was born here and have no plans of ever living anywhere else. I’m just a few miles north of Portland. A little fun piece of trivia for you … Maine is the only state that borders only one other state. When asked “what State” most people have a very difficult time getting the correct answer. Back to finish this video and your Portland one. Thanks, I enjoy all your cruise and van travel content. 😊
I love Kennebunkport. We went on a cruise a few years back to see the fall colors. We stopped in Maine and we took an excursion to Kennebunkport. I love that town and I love that lobster. I’ve been looking forward to getting back there. One of these days…
What a cute town! I would love to go to Maine, definitely on my bucket list! Sadly I’m allergic to all seafood and shellfish but all that food looked delicious! Lol at your beer tasting like a dentist office!!! Mmmm🤣
You guys are great and I am living your adventures too! You make great food critics, so honest. Alise, I also love a good hot bread and that butter looked amazing. Continue to enjoy and stay safe.
My friends sisters family lives there. She raves about it. Goes every year. We’re from Montreal and Maine is so close I’d love to go to Kennebunkport one day
Hi Alisa and Jason! Maine is absolutely spectacular !🤩😍 Glad you stayed longer to enjoy the beauty and the food of Maine 🦞 That couple staring at you at the restaurant 😂 Thank you for the wonderful East Coast series 🚐🍂🍁🌊 Seems like autumn is the perfect time of the year to travel along the coast.
Born and raised in Boston, spend most of my time between Boston and Canada. You gotta try the lobster rolls both ways, cold with mayo and hot with Butter. I prefer the hot with butter myself.
Can't go wrong with fresh seafood in Maine. Best lobster roll I ever had was from a little roadside joint in York ME. Can't remember the name...it was literally at a fork in the road with a few picnic tables outside.
I will have to agree with you on the difference between cruise lobster and fresh lobster. I am originally from Massachusetts and I moved to SC. When I went on my first cruise this past October and ordered the steamed lobster I was highly disappointed.
I’m so happy you all enjoyed my State and actually got to experience what real Lobster tastes like. My first cruise I had Lobster and my god It was so not what I was used to. For one thing they burnt it. I wanted to go into the kitchen and cook it myself lol
We're getting a weird blank spot in the middle of this video (on our Xbox that we use for streaming). Went out of RU-vid, came back in, and the blank spot is still there. Weird.
First of all great video loved it ,second of all there’s so much to unpack. I knew the moment Jason sat down and saw his cloudy beer he knew that his diet was out the window. You can tell both Jason and Alisa From the first bit of their sammiches they started saying Holy Spirit activate holy spirit activate mmmmm mm the food is good around here . Had fun watching and ya’ll keep trucking safe .
Looks wonderful except the guy behind you at diner showing his true Main colors. The further north you go they seem to judge you more and some times get quick and rude. I hope you did not find that to be the case up north coming from a northern. Looks like you are having a ball on this trip enjoy...
If you ever come back to New England again you need to go to Cape Cod. You will get great food there too. My grandfather was born in Provincetown and he would take me clamming in the ocean bring it back home shuck them and make a homemade clam chowder. Glad you enjoyed Maine. It is beautiful there
I love Kennebunkport ❤ !! We have a place in Raymond, on Sebago lake.. it's sooooooo beautiful in the fall, on the lake .... & it's " Ostahhhhh " crackers 🤗
You have to go see the Portland Headlight for some spectacular views then head to old town Portland for shopping and eating. Definitely eat at the Porthole Restaurant right there on the bay! Get the Clam Chowder, Lobster Rolls, and the Maine Lobster! Enjoy 😋🦞
Taking a road trip to Portland Maine from San Diego in May, just for Lobster, currently onboard Carnival Panorama and just left Cabo. Have a safe trip guys. Fred San Diego Ca.
Watch the video 3 times, and all 3 timed between 8:52 and 9:22 the video is just a black screen. Not sure what might have happened on upload but wanted you to know
Our seafood is some of the best. They ship Maine lobsters across the country as well. Haddock is way way better then a filet of fish. Also will you be doing multiple videos since you spent 4 days in Maine?
There isn't any better seafood than from the coast of Maine, hands down! Just a tip for your next lobstah experience, don't wish for a bigger one, get the twin "chicken" (a pound or under) lobstah's. You get 2, and the meat is not going to be tough at all. It's a little more work, but bigger lobsters have chewy tail meat. Also, did you guys go out to Walker Point to see the Bush Compound? Maine is so cool, isn't it? Can't wait for the next video!!
The next day Jason got the twin lobsters and it was perfect. We were going to see the Bush house but when Jason’s phone died we had to find a nearby AT&T store.
So Happy for Y'all!!! Update on being back home! A lil' advice from an avid Fan. Dump the Intro and just show the video. It gets redundant and spoils some good moments. Thank ya'll so much for all of your effort. Love!
The roll for lobster rolls is just a buttered and toasted New England style hot dog bun. It's almost blasphemous if you go to a BBQ up here and they have regular hot dog buns🤣
