Best 12 Lobster Shacks in New England
Abbott’s Lobster in the Rough has been selected as one of the 12 best lobster shacks in New England. “Abbott’s cooks its lobsters via the low-steaming method, in massive cast-iron vaults, to seal in all the crustaceans’ natural flavor. Dine next to the scenic harbor on a dock where striped bass feed on chowder crackers below. Abbott’s is also famous for its hot, buttery lobster roll–the version that’s a Connecticut original.”
“…I ordered the new gigantic lobster roll: 7 oz. of lobster meat stacked high in a bun that could barely contain it, and didn’t so much eat it as had a moment of spiritual enlightenment. Look at that thing!”

A Road Trip Guide to New England’s Best Lobster Joints Abbott’s Lobster in the Rough has been geatured as one of the best lobster shacks in New England.

The centerpiece of the feast is a big, steamed lobster in whatever size you think you can handle (and afford).”
