Lobsta Land: Only Open 8 Months a Year 🦞

Lobsta Land: Only Open 8 Months a Year 🦞 After wandering around Rockport yesterday, we headed straight here for dinner! My friend didn’t wait at all for lunch, but we waited a whole hour for our 6 PM dinner slot… Still, we got super lucky—we scored an outdoor table with a view of the marsh at dusk! 🌆 The scenery was so calming, it totally made the wait worth it. Though fair warning: the food took forever to come (probably ‘cause they were swamped)—I was this close to starving! 😂 Let’s Talk Food! 🍴 1. New England Clam Chowder 🥣 The creaminess was just right (not too heavy!), and it was packed with seafood—perfect for anyone who doesn’t like super rich chowder! Every spoonful had clams, so you never feel like you’re just eating soup. Yum! 😋 2. Crispy Calamari with Marinara Dipping Sauce 🍤 The fried calamari was solid—nothing mind-blowing, but they added banana peppers, which gave it a tangy-spicy kick! 🌶️ The marinara sauce was classic, but the peppers really made it stand out. 3. Sicilian Style Mussels 🐚 The wine flavor was pretty subtle, and there wasn’t much parsley, but they loaded it up with minced garlic—so fragrant! The mussels themselves were fresh, though not super tender. My only complaint? They gave one tiny crostini for a whole bowl of broth! 🥖 It’s crispy, sure, but it can’t soak up any of that delicious soup. I was this close to asking the server for extra bread to dip! 4. Spicy Littlenecks (No Pic 😢) Super unique flavor, but a bit greasy. The sauce was bold—spicy saffron lobster broth, Thai chili, Taso ham, garlic, tomatoes, and white wine. 🥘 The crostini problem struck again (still no soup-soaking!), and the broth was definitely oily. That said, the tomatoes (sweet and tangy!) and ham at the bottom were top-tier—you could tell they used good ingredients. But honestly? I don’t think I’d order this again. 5. Lobster 🦞 So fresh! If you don’t wanna deal with cracking shells, get the lobster roll—easy, messy, and delicious. 6. Paella 🍚 Before ordering, I asked the server: “Paella, lobster bouillabaisse, or seafood risotto—which is a must-try?” She said “everyone loves the paella” without hesitation… and I’m so glad I listened! 🎉 It was loaded with seafood: big chunks of lobster meat and 3-4 scallops each—all fresh! The rice was decent, but let’s be real: shoveling that much seafood into my mouth was the real highlight. Next time, I’m trying the lobster bouillabaisse + seafood risotto—soup with rice? My forever favorite! ❤️ Honorable Mention: Parmesan Truffle Fries 🍟 We saw a huge portion at the next table and barely resisted (carbs are dangerous!). The (official website) pic looks amazing—thin, golden, and sprinkled with parsley. Next time, I’m definitely getting these—they look too good to pass up! All in all, I’ll 100% come back for dinner next time I’m in Rockport… but I’ll remember to make a reservation first! No more hour-long waits for me! ⏰ Address: 84 Causeway Street, Gloucester, MA 01930 #rockport#lobster#seafood#sunset#boston#travel#massachusetts#gloucester#capeAnn#newengland
