We all have our favorite clam shacks and lobster pounds but one that sets itself apart is the Slipway in Thomaston. The sum of its parts is so much more complex than the typical fried food havens with their waterfront settings. We set out for it on Saturday morning, leaving behind a sunny Portland only to arrive in Thomaston where the storm clouds hung heavily in the sky emitting a fine mist throughout the day.
On a misty, cloudy Saturday, the Slipway dock is closed
Because of the weather the dining dock, which spans 120 feet into the mouth of the Saint George Giver, was closed. In good weather during lunch or dinner you sit at any of the umbrella picnic tables; though the choice spots are at the end of the dock where several round tables are set up next to the wet bar. You feel as though you’re about ready to set sail.
