Last Saturday I mentioned to Adam my intense week long craving for a lobster roll. After letting my statement sink in a little bit, he then developed a craving too. No persuasion necessary, in that moment, he knew we needed to get them for lunch. But where?! We talked it out.
Neptune Oyster? Nah to expensive and a tad to upscale for our lazy unshowered Saturday afternoon selves.
J Hook & Co? Nah to far of a walk knowing full well it was going to downpour at any moment. Then we remembered the "Oyster Bar" over in Faneuil Hall / Quincy Market and off we went.
Walrus and Carpenter is the name of said Oyster Bar. Locals - you know the one! They always has a pot set up encouraging free chowder samples.
We dodged the mobs of tourists, took a seat in a secluded corner of the bar and right away each ordered ourselves a
Sam Summer ($5.50) on tap.
Really, it's not that difficult or annoying navigating through the ungodly crowds of Quincy Market when you know exactly what you want to eat and therefore what counter you want to end up at!
Steamers (Market Price) and Beer!
Steamers ($14.75) and Beer!
Nothing better on a hot summer afternoon! Oh yea except the reason we were drawn here in the first place.
The Lobster Roll ($14.75) in all its glory. Although it is not served in the traditional hot dog bun, I do enjoy the dense, slightly crispy on the outside, doughy on the inside, sandwich roll in which the lobster is served.
Cold chunks of sweet lobster lightly are coated in mayonnaise and piled on a bed of bright green lettuce. On the side a bag of my favorite potato chips - Utz!
The lobster meat is fresh. The portions are generous.
Lobster Roll Cravings?
Walrus and Carpenter won't disappoint. (Their clam chowder is also really good!)
Even at peak tourist season in the middle of the afternoon we managed to snag two seats at the bar.
Our hospitable server offered to take our picture and I just couldn't turn him down. He totally thought we were tourists. Taking snapshots of everything around will give people that impression.
We managed to get caught in the flash flood on the walk home. We had fun with it though, jumping through puddles and running through the streets of the North End like our lives depended on it.
I do plan to try the Neptune Oyster's roll this summer.
Where is your favorite place for Lobster Rolls?!
P.S. I'm a little behind. As you may have noticed, I just blogged about last Saturday. Life.is.busy. In a good way. But what else is new?!
