Young’s Lobster Pound, located in Belfast Maine, is a hangar-like corrugated tin building that houses 3 scruffy employees wearing fisherman’s gear. There’s a counter from which you’ll make your order from, and shelves of water tanks acting as the last home of the most live lobster you’ll ever see in your life in one place. Upstairs is a simple but large room furnished only with picnic tables and decorated in a kind of authentic New England kitch that is thoroughly charming. You order your lobster from one of the 3 men, and go upstairs, a lobster will disappear from the tank into the small appendage of a kitchen attached to the building, and they will give you a random order number. (I was 10000, the order before me was 73). In about 10-15 minutes, you are served the full lobster, juicy and succulent on a perfectly crisped-up-with-butter roll – with, of course, a bag of Cape Cod chips. No other distractions and none needed.
