Believe it or not, Autumn is the best time to purchase and eat Maine lobster. During the harvesting season, these succulent crustaceans are at their most abundant and tender-tasting peaks. Each year, Maine's lobster harvesters and dealers work together to organize lobster harvesting events right off the wharf or in surrounding communities. Locals and travelers come prepared with coolers, freezer packs, and newspaper to purchase fresh lobster at unbelievable rates. Here is a listing of some Maine lobster harvesting days in October.
