The best restaurants, lobster rolls, seafood shacks, and dining experiences along the New England coast.
Silky, deeply flavored, built from real lobster stock and finished with cream and sherry — great lobster bisque is one of the finest things you can eat on the New England coast. These are the bowls worth seeking out.
Fresh haddock, light crispy batter, thick-cut fries, and housemade tartar sauce. These are the New England fish and chips spots that get the details right.
Weathered buildings, picnic tables, paper plates, and seafood that came off a boat this morning. These are the New England seafood shacks worth going out of your way for.
We’re talking whole belly clams — briny, sweet, and fried to order at a picnic table with salt air all around you. These are the New England fried clam spots worth the drive.
New England clam chowder sounds simple until you have a truly great bowl. We found the best ones — from Billy’s Chowder House at Wells Beach to Thurston’s Lobster Pound near Bar Harbor.
From Red’s Eats in Wiscasset to Barnacle Billy’s in Ogunquit, these are the best lobster rolls on the Maine coast — cold mayo, hot butter, and everything in between.
