What more can I say? Next visit, maybe I will take a flyer on fried clams – or maybe I will try a Clam Roll – although the shrimp looked great!!!!! Next time, I will bring a bag of organic potatoes and hope they will fry them up for me so I can add potatoes to what I enjoyed at the Lobster Stop. I ate until I literally had to be helped to the car I was so full. The Onion Rings were incredibly light, crisp and tasted like a little bit of heaven. One person had a Combination Platter and I just had to help her finish what was too much for one person. Since then, I have not been able to eat another lobster. Several years ago, I bought lobsters for one of my daughters birthday dinners, and they turned the lobsters into pets. One had Lobster Bisque – which I couldn’t eat because I was within the sight line of the live lobsters. In just a few minutes I was ready for seconds, but instead of ordering seconds, – I knew my job – I helped those with me finish their meal. Can you imagine my surprise when the oysters arrived cooked to perfection. I reluctantly ordered fried oysters fully expecting them to be the way I normally find fried oysters in this New England area – not great, with lots of breading and kind of soft even though they claim to have been fried. I loved the red and white checked tablecloths, the large tubs for live lobster, the friendliness and ‘down home’ attitude of the people who work there, but most of all we loved the food – fresh seafood cooked by those who knew what they were doing and we had no complaints.Įverybody with us had something different. In the meantime, it is a place you have to try. I bet if they put their sandwiches and rolls on organic bread the place would be a run-away hit. That is a downer, but the way they prepare and cook the food, along with the ambiance of the place, means maybe we should all take a bit of time and lobby for it to serve only wild-caught seafood and everything else organic. However, we found one recently that is a total replica of those old New Orleans Creole Restaurants, only this one is in Quincy, Massachusetts.īefore I go any further I have to say this restaurant does not serve organic food. Well, those businesses are gone and have been replaced by ones that are only a memory of the past. No one fried oysters the way they did along Claiborne Avenue. It was the place you went to if you wanted an oyster Po’boy sandwich. That was before the Federal Government came in and built an overpass which killed the neighborhood, the street and most of the businesses that once thrived there. I have been nostalgic for the restaurants in New Orleans that once upon a time, many years ago, lived on Claiborne Avenue. One that will take you through the summer with fresh seafood cooked the way it used to be cooked in New Orleans. 02169 Hours of Operation: Wednesday-Monday 11am-8pm Telephone: 6 2015 – by – Marceline Donaldson The Lobster Stop 723 Washington Street – Quincy, MA.
