Numerous seafood purveyors and restaurants have rolled out unique deals during Maine Lobster Week, which runs this year from 19 to 26 September.
Organized by the Maine Lobster Marketing Collaborative (MLMC) in Portland, Maine, U.S.A., the annual Maine Lobster Week celebration invites Mainers and visitors to the Northeastern state to enjoy “one of [Maine’s] most iconic foods while recognizing the harvesters, dealers, processors, restaurants, and working waterfront communities that bring Maine lobster from trap to table,” MLMC said in a release.
Throughout the week, numerous participating restaurants will showcase Maine lobster in dishes ranging from classic lobster rolls to creative chef specials and three-course menus, aiming to highlight the versatility of Maine's signature seafood offering.
Food shacks owned by Saco, Maine-based Luke’s Lobster are celebrating with USD 20 (EUR 17.55) Quarter Pound Lobster Rolls, served with potato chips on 24 September and 25 September only, the latter date of which is also National Lobster Day in the U.S.
Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A.-based Legal Sea Foods is celebrating National Lobster Day by bringing back its 3-foot lobster roll.
“Loaded with sweet Maine lobster, lightly dressed and piled onto buttery toasted brioche, this 4-pound Showstopper is built for sharing … or not,” Legal Sea Foods said in an email to customers.
Several retail and direct-to-consumer sellers are also featuring promotions during the weeklong event.
Harbor Fish Market in Portland is offering a Maine Coast Lobster Dinner for online orders, which includes six Maine Lobsters, freshly cooked and chilled, along with mussels, steamer clams, and butter, all of which can be shipped directly to customers with 24 hours’ notice.
