The Best Lobster In Boston
Achieving “best lobster” anywhere in New England is a difficult feat, but with National Lobster Day swimming up on September 25th, we set out to find the Best Lobster in Boston. See our picks below to start planning your weekend!
The Best Lobster Tacos
If you’re like us and never miss a Taco Tuesday, you can save this stop for next week! At Citrus and Salt, you’ll find butter poached lobster nestled in soft corn tortillas, prepared with a mango salsa, lemon mayo, and avocado. All the ingredients you’d expect, brought together in perfection!
The Best New England Clambake
Bring the team and go all in - The Barking Crab serves the spread that hits all of the New England classics, including a 1.5 pound lobster. It’s a massive dish - while the preparation is simple, it’s packed with everything you’d expect if you were doing it yourself on the beach.
The Best 2 (or 3!) Pound Lobster Dinner
Think all boiled lobsters are the same? Sometimes it’s the experience that makes the lobster the best. It’s no secret our members love when have our events at The Palm (like Wednesday’s Networking Night!). While you can expect delicious food and a curated wine list, what really makes our evening is the team that host us. They say they treat guests like family, and yes, they really do!
At peak lobster season you can find a 3lb option on their menu - perfect for sharing. Dining at the Palm means they’ll do the work for you, serving your lobster neatly in the cracked shell. We recommend sitting at the bar and splitting a filet for a surf and turf.
The Best Lobster Roll
Eventide Fenway puts their own spin on the meals we crave, serving counter style. The brown butter lobster roll is top on our list for lobster rolls in Boston, but you’ll also find a cold lobster roll option, and Game Day Dogs
The Best Lobster Mac and Cheese
The most indulgent lobster dish can be found as a side at most steak houses, but when you head to Yankee Lobster in the Seaport you’ll find baked lobster mac and cheese as the star of the show and not sharing the stage with any greens. Comfort food at its cheesiest, with chunks of chopped lobster, elbow macaroni and oven-roasted tomatoes that add a little punch to its white cheddar and parmesan sauce—and of course a crunchy panko topping. Bring a date that loves lobster - there are lots of classic options on the menu as well.
The Best Lobster Bisque
Cold days call for hot soup, and lobster bisque is a delicious way to warm up. We’ve all been tricked into a bowl that didn’t have very much lobster which is why you’ll want to save these recommendations.
If you can travel outside of Boston, head to the New England Soup Factory for a bowl of their Lobster Newburg
