Visit a Lobster Shack and Rejoice

From Faith: If you’re interested in turning your lobster or lobster roll enjoyment into a road trip, we recommend Mike Urban’s paperback, Lobster Shacks, featuring many of New England’s top lobster joints. He provides driving directions, hours of operation and cruises the menus of some of the region’s most beloved spots. Connecticut and Rhode Island joints are in one chapter, including:

— The Lobster Shack

— Guilford Lobster Pound

—The Place

—Lenny and Joe’s Fish Tale

— Lobster Landing

— Captain Scott’s Lobster Dock

— Abbott’s Lobster in the Rough

— Champlin’s Seafood Restaurant

— Aunt Carrie’s

— Blount Clam Shack

— Anthony’s Seafood

NOTE: It’s best to check ahead on hours of operation before you visit. Some places stay open late while others close on certain days; still others are B.Y.O.
