Here's a question for yeee New Englanders.
It'd be wicked ahhhsome if anyone could help.
Depends how far up the coast ya plan to get.
Cape Cod area in Mass is OK for some sweat juicy clams, but not the best for lobster. If you get a GOOD lobster around there.... It most likely came from a bit North up the coast.
Living here for so long I have become biased and believe the Hampton Beach, N.H. Area native lobsters are above all else hands down.
If you are on the coast around Hampton area in NH and have time to drive along Rt. 101, or Rt 1A.... You are in lobster heaven.
Avoid the fancy shiny buildings with neon signs and billboards the size of a Greyhound bus. Watch for the little Mom & Pop weather beaten fish shacks with a couple family operated beat up lobster boats tied to the tilted falling down dock out back.
THOSE are where you will find the lobsters that you will remember forever and ruin all future lobsters you eat, as none will ever measure up like those.
Caught that morning, cooked by loving family hands, and sold at a realistic price.
No substitute for sitting in a sea worn shack eating butter soaked fresh lobster that melts in your mouth while you listen to sea stories from the guy who caught them. Sureeeeeee the stories may be stretched a wee bit, but cool none the less"thumbsup"
When are you planning to be up this way?
