The late Times reporter and epicure R.W. Apple helped make it famous.

Situated in an old-school trailer, this Wicasset shack is a Route 1 landmark famous for its lobster rolls which they maintain is created with an entire one-pound lobster. Best of all, Red's lobster roll isn't slathered with mayonaise (though you can get it on the side, along with melted butter), allowing diners to enjoy the true taste of Maine lobster. Generally regarded as the state's best roll of its kind.
Main St., Wiscasset, Maine
