A new(ish) seafood place that is worth checking out in midcoast Maine is Hill’s Seafood Co in Rockland, Maine. Less than a mile off of US Route 1, the restaurant is a small venue with a large outside deck that has great view of the picturesque Rockland Harbor, especially in the summer months when the harbor has beautiful sunsets. It is also situated in a prime location during the times that Rockland hosts the Lobster Festival and the Maine Boats, Homes, and Harbors Show in the late summer. or an appetizer we got the very basic but tasty popcorn chicken topped with barbecue sauce with a side of ranch dressing. This was enough to whet our appetites for our entrees. For mine, I ordered the Lobster Mac ‘n’ Cheese (one of my favorites at many restaurants in Maine), which was a simple dish served with a side of broccoli and coleslaw. You could tell that the lobster was fresh and had plenty of large chunks of meat, and the actual Mac ‘n’ Cheese was also good. Side note: the broccoli may have been the best broccoli I have ever eaten at a restaurant. My dad ordered the Cajun Parmesan Haddock which also had a tremendous taste (I tried some), and was served with the usual fries and coleslaw. As much as I wanted to try their dessert options, after having the appetizer and finishing the entree, I found myself not having enough room to try any of them. Definitely a place I would recommend.
