Lobster roll 2016 #9

Lazy Lobster, Milford CT

July 30, 2016

This is my second visit to this little gem in Milford. I love the fresh baguette roll that the sweet chunks of lobster are strategically placed on.  Today was a last minute stop but totally worth the $18. 

The young, friendly staff was added to the ambience of the nearby beach.  

Will definitely go back soon for the shrimp and corn chowder and more lobster. 

Overall Rating 9. 

Lobster Roll 2016 - #7

#7

The Chelsea, Fairfield CT

The kids were gone for the day, Which left me free to roam on my own.  I decided what better time then to check a top spot off my "to try" list. 

Glad I did.  Nice spot to come back to. As for the roll: first this delight was on a toasty pretzel roll, fairly loaded with sweet red meat which was dripping with hot... melted...  butter.  Possibly a little too juicy but yet not overwhelming.

Seasoned quite well, I'm thinking lime and maybe cilantro this roll was perfect for a hot summer day such as today.  Although filling, my meal felt light even on the pretzel roll. Some truffle fries on the side made a nice addition along with my green tea.

I stopped for a moment to type and when I went back for another bite it was gone.  Lol I finished it without even knowing, and felt sad it was done.

Overall rating: 9.1 it's still early in the summer but this was a nice twist on the local  CT roll.

Lobster Roll 2016 #6

Abbotts, Noank CT

July 5, 2016

On our way back from Mystic Aquarium for my daughters 10th birthday we decided it was finally time for me to try the ever so published and raved about Abbott's Lobster in the Rough.  Well to start I thought the price was steep for the amount of meat (1/4 lb on a hamburger bun).  Seemed to be mainly (not MAINEly) the tail with a couple claw pieces thrown in. The bun had a burnt taste as it was cooked on the griddle/grill. I did not taste much of their creamery butter which is okay if the meat is sweet.  The lobster meat was fresh but not so sweet.  

View was beautiful. Coleslaw was tasty.

The kids had fun feeding the stripers on the pier.  Not what you want to hear when reading about lobster rolls.  

Positive note - Tuesday, July 5, 5:40 p.m. no lines.

Unfortunately, I wasn't that impressed, the hype was a tad overstated.

Overall: 7.7 (ambience points included again)
