Sea Dogs Cut Ties With Shain’s of Maine Ice Cream

Earlier this week the Portland Sea Dogs announced they would be offering curbside and takeout for their ballpark food. I was most excited to get a Sea Dogs Biscuit, the iconic treat made by Shain's of Maine: two chocolate chip cookies with vanilla ice cream in the middle.

Later that same day, owner Jeff Shain released a statement on the Shain's of Maine Facebook page about the allegations:

As a result, on Friday morning, the Portland Sea Dogs, who have had a longstanding relationship with Shain's of Maine because of The Sea Dogs Biscuit, announced that they have terminated their relationship with them effective immediately.
