Five Islands Lobster Co. sits on the wharf at Five Islands in Georgetown, Maine, close enough to the water that the lobster served here is never tanked-stored — it comes straight from the surrounding waters. The fried menu, including haddock, shrimp, scallops, and onion rings, is hand-breaded on site.
The kitchen makes its own soups in stock pots rather than buying them premade, and the same goes for the condiments: a tartar sauce with fresh dill and capers, a cilantro mayo with jalapeno and lime, and a mustard dill spread are all made in-house.
The wharf-side setting draws people back for the harbor views as much as the food, with friendly staff and a steady stream of repeat visitors who know to arrive early before the crowds build.
