Crispy and delicious fried seafood and chicken seem like they are done just about everywhere. However, The Red Barn in Augusta really does it best. If you have been then you would quickly agree. The food is outstanding with dinner baskets so big they can hardly be contained in the basket themselves. Each bite makes you want more and when it’s all over you start dreaming of the next time you can get one. The staff is friendly and The Red Barn has been a staple in the capital area for many years. So if you have not been to The Red Barn to try one of their dinner baskets then you need to drive on over and indulge in the most delicious fried seafood and chicken you might possibly ever have.
And above all, try to plan your visit on a sunny day so you can enjoy the outdoor seating area.

The Red Barn in August is certainly no secret. They’ve been serving some of the best seafood in Maine since 1977.

The Red Barn is a labor of family love. Bill and Florence Benedict starting the local mainstay and all of their ten children have worked here in some way or another over the past 36 years. It’s their commitment to good food, while serving the good of the community that’s kept them in business after all these years.

These baskets come in a snack size and dinner size. They are both huge but come hungry because you will want to eat them to the last bite.

They are so big that you might want to share with a friend or plan on bringing half of it home.

Who are we kidding? You’re going to want to gobble these things up in one sitting!

- …ANY seafood, really.
The Red Barn It’s not all lobster and laughter here in Maine. Don’t forget that Maine is a great place to eat your weight in fried scallops, clams and haddock!
If all these fried dinner baskets are not your thing, don’t worry. You can get a 1/4 pound lobster roll. Or go for it all and just add it to your dinner basket order. We won’t judge.

Seafood in Maine July 12, 2022 Chris Dodge What are some other places to get great seafood in Maine? Maine has no shortage of great seafood places in Maine. We could spend a lifetime exploring all of the amazing dining options we have right here in Maine. We have a few suggestions for you to try something a little bit different and something maybe new. If you want to eat lobster or plenty of other fried seafood options then check out the Boothbay Lobster Wharf. You can see the process of catching and cooking lobsters right there on the wharf of a live lobster pound. If you have a free weekend and want to make the most out of it make sure to check out this amazing Lobster and Lighthouse road trip we have all planned out for you. There are tons of great seafood options all along the way. Then of course, if you are in Bar Harbor you will know how important seafood is in the most iconic Ocean town in Maine. As odd as it may sound check out this gas station for some amazing fried chicken as well.
