Eat dinner at C-Ray Lobster shack:

“C-Ray Lobster is an authentic Maine lobster "shack": no inside seating, no reservations and definitely no fuss. What C-Ray does offer is amazingly fresh, tasty seafood, served with a heaping helping of downeast Maine hospitality. Bring your family, relax and enjoy! And it's wicked affordable! As a third generation fisherman, this family business started with my grandfather selling his catch, live off the boat, directly to the consumer and it has grown into this wonderful little seafood shack in the same dooryard today.”
