Food scene

"a no-frills take-out restaurant on a tidal river in Brooksville—and recipient of a James Beard “American Classic” award. At “the Bagaduce,” the seafood menu hasn’t changed since current owner Judy Astbury’s father, Sidney Snow, first hung out a shingle in 1946. Since then, this shack (which shutters from late September to April) has built a thriving summertime business catering to Blue Hill–area locals and travelers en route to Deer Isle who can’t get enough of the house specialties: plump lobster meat served on buttery toasted hot dog buns, golden fried haddock, and fried clams. Angle for a picnic table with a good view of the neighboring falls. You may even see a seal. " Travel and Leisure Jun 2015

"The newest venture for chef Ryan McCaskey, whose Chicago restaurant, Acadia, earned a Michelin star. His Maine outpost is more casual, with dishes like perfectly seared local scallops served with short rib and cauliflower purée, and Maine blueberry streusel with ginger ice cream."
