This Tiny Takeout Shack In Maine Doesn T Look Like Much But It S So Worth The Visit

While we can’t complain about the winter in Maine, we have to admit that the promise of summer is what’s been on our mind these days. Spring has brought snow, rain and fog, which isn’t exactly unexpected. But, when warmer weather is this close these chilly temps can make it seem like summer will never arrive. But, we have some good news! Summer is close enough that we’ve begun looking for some of the best seafood takeout shacks to tell you about! And once that happens, we can consider warmer days just around the corner. So, while you get through the last of the fog and cold weather, plan a trip to this tiny takeout spot! It just might make summer come early.

Erica’s Seafood in Harpswell is named after the daughter of Tom Butler & Andrea Hunter. Together, they’ve made this tiny seafood shack thrive since 2011.
