North or south shore are fine, extra points for locations that get us off the highway as soon as possible. thanks Sun Jun 14 09:26:08 -0700 2009 180763 Wannabfoode 1 4771675 The Lobster Pool, Rockport, MA or Chauncey Creek, Kittery Maine - for Chauncey, bring your own, they'll do the steamers, oysters, lobsters for you and I think they may have bber. Lobster Pool does it all including making great homemade blueberry pie. Lobster Pool is close to Halibut Point, a gorgeous spot for a stop.

BYO ( or at least was last season) and there is a liquor store about a half mile up the road in Lanesville. Don't have oysters if I recall but yes on the lobsters and great fried anything . And the inital ride is Rte 1N but once you are on 128 North it is 2 lane tree lined...have fun. 45 min from Boston .

They have awesome lobster rolls and stuffed quahogs (I think they do whole lobsters as well), and they serve Buzzard's Bay brews on tap.

I had twin lobsters with a potato for $20 not too long ago there. Not fancy, but not a dive either. Thu Jun 18 14:23:39 -0700 2009 4771621 222940 salemmass
