The Lobstore — Local services in Winter Harbor

I stopped by The LobStore for lunch because their Facebook page said lobster stew is today's special. I ended up with stew, lobster roll (with a small bag of Lay's potato chips, coleslaw, and pickle!), and two Needham's chocolates (coconut and potato mixture covered in dark chocolate). Total spent, including tax, $40.

I was impressed with the lobster roll - sweet lobster meat (though I will ask for less mayo next time) in large chunks on a toasted brioche bun. Roughly $23 for the roll! (I'm accustomed to seeing $30+ at other establishments.)

When we asked why we were told that it was $16.95 a pound because it was over 5 pounds when the lobsters were weighed together which makes no sense! We paid and enjoyed the lobsters but got lobsters elsewhere...

Nice selection. Went there 4 days in a row. Even have King Crabs available, fresh sushi, and the employees even pulled out some Of their live inventory to show the kids! That right there tells me they are about building business and not just mass selling. Advice: don’t watch the guys loading seafood on the side of the building. Don’t know what is going on, but there were accidentally dropping fish all over the ground then scooping it back up with a snow shovel. We just hoped that those fish were not going into anything were going to eat...
