McLoons Lobster Shack ships nationwide with Goldbelly—order their legendary Maine lobster dinners, buttery lobster rolls, chowders & more right to your door. Once considered by lobstermen to be a nuisance and bait-stealer that was more of a pest than a lucrative species for harvest demand for Rock Crabs soared after chefs and other epicures in New York were introduced to it by Maine’s legendary Browne Trading Company. Processing these crabs remains a true “cottage” industry in Maine, with very few commercial houses investing in the time-consuming traditional hand-picking method necessary to produce superior meats free of shell.
When Yankee Magazine sent their editor up the Maine coast in early 2017 to sample dozens of lobster rolls and crown one champion, she chose McLoons Lobster Shack for their fresh lobsters and perfect rolls. The crab roll is beloved by Mainers and those in the know. Many even prefer it to the lobster roll! McLoons provides the highest quality crab meat, along with all the other essential items that make up this great New England style seafood roll.
McLoons is a family-owned lobster shack located on a working lobster wharf in South Thomaston on Maine’s off-the-beaten-path Spruce Head Island. McLoon’s was named the best lobster roll in all of Maine! This sweet, fresh, and meaty lobster is plucked fresh from local waters, and it’s served in a signature half-and-half lobster roll (half butter, half mayo). It’s as authentic Maine as it gets!
