#12, #14 and #21 are three of my favorites, Jonnycakes (made with Kenyons stoned ground meal of course), and Clear Quahog Chowder, and who could live through a summer in RI without going to Haven Bros. in Providence to have a Lobster Roll…….I miss it all.
Thanks for the memories.

A great list. I think there should be a best seafood pasta category for all of us Italian food lovers!
I suggest Daily Catch in the North End.
living in wv and far away from my beloved new england,[to me that's nh/me] and a lover of great seafood i would be remiss if i didn’t tell of 2 of the best,ie BROWN’S lobster pound on 286 in seabrook beach nh.and i must say my all time favorite BOB’ Sclam shack in kittery next to kittery trading post on rt.1a.from the best clams to one of largest and most tasty seafood platters i have ever had the good fortunes to indulge in.and thier chowders are not thickened like wallpaper paste,good lord i’m torturing myself just speaking of it.next time your in the mood for belly tickling food you really should try these places.my dream is to someday being able to move back home and live out the rest of my life eating new england.i hope you will add these to your reccommended eateries.leo g. king
Being from Florida, my first lobster roll was from Red’s Eats on a vacation to Maine. That’s a high bar to set – no other lobster roll measures up to Red’s.
Its very nice. and very yummy. i love apple pie very much.
