Shannon's Unshelled has spent eight years focused on one thing: an overstuffed lobster roll built around a fresh, whole unshelled lobster rather than a scoop of pre-picked meat. The lobster is caught locally and picked daily, then piled onto a toasted, buttered bun with a side of garlic sea-salted butter. This Rt. 27 location is one of the operation's Boothbay-area spots, run with the same casual, neighborhood service model.
Owner Shannon Schmelzer describes the business as first and foremost a waterfront restaurant with close ties to the local fishing fleet, and the menu has grown from the signature roll to include other Maine seafood dishes alongside it.
