Trenton, United States
Trenton Bridge Lobster Pound
On the causeway heading into Mount Desert Island, Trenton Bridge Lobster Pound has anchored the ritual of the Maine lobster feed for decades. This is outdoor picnic-table dining at its most direct: live lobsters pulled from the pound, cooked to order, eaten with your hands over newspaper. It sits at the stripped-back end of Maine's seafood spectrum, where the ceremony is in the simplicity.
