Maine Traditional Shore Lunch

If you are fishing with a guide in the Grand Lake Stream area, you will experience a tradition that has been going on for generations - the shore lunch. First off, your guide will stop by a scenic lunch ground, and after cleaning the fish you caught that morning will start a fire and start heating up the oil in the fry pan to fry up your fish for an appetizer. Served with fresh lemon, pickles and cheese, he will then start boiling water for the famous guide coffee, slice up the potatoes and onions for frying, and place the meat of your choice in the broiler and start cooking. Soon you will have be served a delicious meal, hot off the fire. Dessert brings it home with freshly baked cookies or pie, served with  guide coffee. Guide coffee is nothing more than coffee grounds mashed up with an entire egg, shell and all, and brought to a boil. The egg/coffee mixture forms a raft and stays together, meaning you get no grounds in your cup - and, it tastes great! So get yourself up to historic, beautiful Grand Lake Stream, catch some great fish, and experience a great tradition!
