Not only is the food fabulous [and the lines long], it's the quintesential New England experience. Just wonderful!

One place is just south of Newbury, Ma and the other is in Gilford. See you this Oct.

I try to get back at least once every summer.

Frankie's in Waterbury, Ct make lobster rolls with fresh lobster meat and drawn butter on a hot dog roll and they are to die for. Also, Abbot's in Noank, CT make them the same way, but on hamburger rolls. So much better than with mayo!!!!!!

For the past two summers, a small road side stand on Route 9 in Williamsburg, MA has been selling lobster rolls on weekends for $6.95. No fillers just lobster, a touch of mayo, a toasted roll with pickles and chips. Can't wait to get back!

After seeing Red's on TV I urged him on our next trip to go out of the way from our normal haunts to sample their offering. Needless to say Red's convinced me. The finger roll contains the meat of an entire unadorned 1 pound lobster, whole claw meat and tail split down the middle, with drawn butter on the side that we never need to use. Now Wiscassett is a regular part of our itinerary; I have an 8 x 10 photo of a tray of them as testimony. Heaven forbid we are unable to make our leaf peeping jaunt before Columbus Day when they close for the season! My mouth waters just thinking about them.
