Pics from recent trip to Maine. All seafood is boat to table fresh. Local Maine oysters served with pearl onion mignonette and strawberry mignonette:

Lobster Chowder- different than Lobster Bisque. Lobster Chowder has a lower dairy content, no potatoes, lots of lobster meat, and scallions:

What trip to Maine is complete without a Maine style lobster roll- lightly mayoed and served cold or room temperature, although they also offer the Connecticut style, hot and buttered at most seafood restaurants:

Smoked Fish Chowder is fairly popular in Maine. This one is made with Smoked Halibut. Again, it's lightly dairyed as compared to typical New England style Clam Chowder or Lobster Bisque. A few splashes of cream:

A big favorite of mine is Seared Ahi Tuna Tacos. These were very good- even better than they look. They are draped with pickled onions and a wasabi aioli which had a very high wasabi to mayo ratio, as it should be!
