One of summer’s many pleasures is deliciously fresh lobster and lobster rolls. This quintessentially summer food is best enjoyed straight out of the sea at lobster shacks. We love classic shingled, buoy-laden fish shacks. New England is home to many of these quaint shops, and and notably, Maine, famous for their sustainably harvested lobster. If you’re visiting Maine check out our Best Maine Shops list. Lobster shacks are also a seaside signature in the U.K. where they take on a different look with the addition of deck chairs. We always love discovering and sharing shops so if you have a favorite lobster or fish shop you want to share use the “Share A Shop” form below.
