It all started when Perry, Beverly Long, and Kathyrn Long purchased the waterfront property in 1992. Six years later, they began wholesaling for the local fishermen. People asked if they could cook lobster and eat on the dock, using old lobster crates for chairs. The idea stuck that this was the place to go to eat freshly cooked lobster.

Since then the restaurant has become a staple for locals looking for a great fresh-off-the-boat meal to enjoy with a beautiful view. Perry and Beverly made the business into what it is today, with seating that extends onto the dock that accommodates up to 60 people. Guests can watch the lobster boats come into shore and drop off the fresh catch every day.

Perry's Lobster Shack has grown leaps and bounds over its conception in 1998. It offers live and cooked lobster to go along with hand crafted homemade desserts, has become a part of the Ellsworth and Blue Hill Chamber of Commerce, and even offers BYOB.
