Saltie Girl

This wins my award for the BEST Lobster Roll in Boston because of the entire combination. It’s not just about the amount of lobster for me (James Hook has the most in each lobster roll) but the way the roll is put together. They do it with Brioche here and I love it. Didn’t love their clam chowder tho. But all their seafood was super fresh and everything (other than the chowder) was pretty fabulous.

Saltie Girl amazes with an all-day modern-concept menu—we’re talking Fried Lobster & Waffles, Fried Ipswich Clams, and Sea Urchin Crudo that’s available even for brunch. While many come for their unique selection of tinned seafood, we come for the best Lobster Rolls in town! Buttery Brioche buns sandwich a generous serving of fresh flavorful meat, bursting with flavor as it touches your tongue.

Family-owned Rainbow Seafood Restaurant has been serving a fun dining escape to locals and tourists alike since 1984, giving away free boat rides to hungry guests from nearby piers. Their specialties are best enjoyed with company, their portions massive enough for sharing between big groups. Make sure to order signature dishes such as Rainbow Fish Garoupa, Baked Lobster with Butter Sauce, and Spicy Prawns.

Under Bridge Spicy Crab (Ascot Mansion)

If there’s a dish that emerged from Hong Kong’s bygone typhoon shelter culture, it’s the classic spicy crab. Under Bridge is a well-known spot that serves the iconic dish with their own flavorful twist of toasted garlic, shallots, and spring onions. The restaurant also offers other hearty specialties including Sautéed Scallops, Stir-Fried Squid, and Boiled Spicy Whelks with Chinese Wine—all approved by no less than the late but great Anthony Bourdain!

I always thought this was the bar to the adjacent bowling alley, but it’s actually a nice little seafood spot. Not bad at all.
