New England Clam Chowder (Bread Bowl)
It's like being hugged by a big bearded fisherman. Like being hugged by Captain Birdseye. Thick, creamy, filled with clams, potatoes, bacon. Served in an edible bread bowl. Sensational.
Lobster Roll
Absurd. Big chunks of lobster, cold and sweet, smothered in garlic butter, packed into a toasted sweet brioche bun. When they're good, they're really good. This one is great.
Lemon Sole
This is lemon caper butter. Wow. That is how you do fish. The capers give a little vinegary pop whenever you bite into one. It's really light. The chips are special too — so fluffy.
