Kennebunkport & lobster
Kennebunkport sits on New England's lobster coast, where the catch was once so plentiful it was called 'ocean trash' and used as fertilizer — until 19th-century canneries turned Maine and Massachusetts lobster into a national delicacy.
🦞 Lobster lore
Lobsters molt their entire shell to grow, hiding for weeks while the soft new shell hardens, the source of sweeter 'soft-shell' summer lobster.
