Sun Mar 26 20:39:54 -0800 2006 0 James Lipton 1 876809 You should go to Lenny's in Branford. Lobster and lobster rolls are available ALL YEAR round. Enjoy Mon Mar 27 10:58:11 -0800 2006 876801 0 jon 2 876811 yum! Thanks!

It's a no nonsense place, with a no nonsense lobster roll: lobster, butter, roll. Wed Mar 29 21:51:51 -0800 2006 876801 0 surrys 1 876977 Lenny's is overated. Try Stowes seafood store/resto in West Haven. Also in West Haven-Captains Galley has a fine roll. Also in Hamden-try Glenwood Drive-in has great hot dogs too. In North Haven -Dino's-right off I91 exit 12/13. Fri Mar 31 23:22:18 -0800 2006 876801 0 Nancy 2 1766270 Based on some comments on this board, including this old thread, I tried Captain's Galley this past weekend. Their lobster roll is inferior, by far, to Lenny and Joe's - too dry, the bread was not toasted, and the lobster seemed stale. That, and my wife and mother-in-law suffered food poisoning after eating the steamers. Avoid the place and drive the thirty minutes to Lenny and Joe's. Perhaps someone could suggest a decent place to get lobster rolls in West Haven, because Captain's Galley is not it.

I found this post when I did a search: about 1 year ago Roy replied to Michael Hoffman The original Stowe's and Captains Galley were not the same place. Original Stowe's went out years ago though some of their offspring have opened a place in an old garage about a half mile west of the Captains Galley. Mostly an eat in your car or at a picnic table type place but the food is excellent and ridiculously inexpensive. Great lobster bisque, fried clams ($3.95 for a whole belly roll)and it's also a fresh fish market. Only open during the daytime. Here's the link to that page http://www.chowhound.com/topics/show/161348?user_name=&query=stowes+seafood+%2C+west+haven Stowe's sounds like it was great. I think you tried the wrong place.
