Today’s Sandwich: Fried Haddock with Sriracha Coleslaw (Homemade)

by Malcolm Bedell December 7, 2012

Today’s sandwich features a homemade fried haddock fillet, topped with Sriracha coleslaw, and served on a Portuguese roll. Notes: It’s about this time of year in Maine, that I forget that Spring and Summer ever existed. The leaves are off the trees, there’s a bite in the wind, and most days find me bundled under [...]

The Slipway

by Malcolm Bedell August 28, 2012

I have a lifelong history with The Slipway in Thomaston. Okay, so it wasn’t always with “The Slipway.” For many years, it was the “Harbor View Restaurant,” located smack on the St. George River, and in the 1980s, it was the go-to restaurant for anyone living in the area. My earliest memories there include, in [...]

Duo’s Takeout

by Malcolm Bedell July 31, 2012

The section of north Main Street in Rockland between the Dunkin’ Donuts and the McDonald’s isn’t exactly a world-renowned culinary hotspot. It’s an area of town that has seen plenty of businesses come and go, attracting the kind of hardscrabble retail endeavors that never seem to last long. The strip is now mostly a string [...]

Bacon-Wrapped Haddock

by Jillian Bedell July 5, 2012

The sky was incredibly blue today, and a sea breeze was fluttering the leaves. It was the most glorious day to be in Rockand, Maine. Main Street was bustling with visitors to the Farnsworth, The Project Puffin Visitor Center, and The Grasshopper shop. We went to the library, and watched the ships from a picnic table in Harbor Park. [...]

Cod End Seafood & Marina

by Jillian Bedell June 20, 2012

I have an imaginary history in Tenants Harbor, a tiny, pretty town that inspires quasi-mythic reverie in me and many others, I would guess. I almost remember jumping into the bracing sea from a swing hanging by the edge of the pier and scrambling around the rocks to poke at small crabs and other sea life. I feel like a [...]

Today’s Sandwich: Haddock Sliders (Len’s Fish & Chips)

by Malcolm Bedell May 24, 2012

Today’s sandwich is the “Haddock Slider” from Len’s Fish and Chips. It features twin haddock sandwiches on butter-griddled buns with tartar sauce on the side. Location: 17 Bow Street, Brunswick Price:$6.99 Notes: In general, I’m not crazy about the “slidification” of sandwiches. First, it’s technically inaccurate; a “slider” isn’t a small sandwich, it’s a two [...]

Holbrook’s

by Jillian Bedell May 21, 2012

Holbrook’s Snack Bar sits at sea level, where the public road ends. I found it by accident or instinct, driving and admiring the abundance of leaves that nature has finally delivered to the light in northern New England. I took a last minute left on my way out to Orr’s and Bailey Islands and followed the signs to Cundy’s [...]

Gurnet Trading Co.

by Jillian Bedell May 18, 2012

What a cute place this is. It’s tucked into a hill, on the side of the road, on the way out of Brunswick, surrounded by water and magnificent trees. We ate on the sunken outdoor dining patio and felt the warm wind as we munched on seafood and felt hopeful about the Summer ahead. It’s just too bad [...]

Hoss and Mary’s Tasty Grub

by Malcolm Bedell March 26, 2012

When I imagine Old Orchard Beach, the seven-mile stretch of sandy beach about eleven miles South of Portland, my mind doesn’t immediately conjure up images of exceptional dining opportunities. In the Summer, an influx of tourists from all over Maine blankets Old Orchard in acres of pale white skin, Marlboro Light smoke, airbrushed t-shirts, and [...]

Susan’s Fish & Chips

by Malcolm Bedell March 12, 2012

Every time we write about fried seafood or lobster rolls here on From Away, we count the minutes until someone responds with something along the lines of, “Sure, those lobster rolls at The Lobster Shack at Two Lights or at the “Bite Into Maine” cart are fine, with their ocean spray and their scenery and [...]
