Hundreds, if not thousands, of restaurants, seafood shacks, harbour view inns and gastro pubs lay claim to New England’s best lobster roll – and whether or not each institution is correct is largely a matter of taste. But some destinations have a reputation for excellence and the pincher power to match. You can’t go wrong with the rustic flair of Woodman’s of Essex, a historic Massachusetts seafood house that serves some of the best lobster rolls in the region. Stowe’s in Connecticut is a seaside lobster shack that dishes some of the best bisque in the country, while high-end fare simply gets no better than The White Barn Inn, one of America’s premiere upmarket eateries.
