Row 34

The lobster rolls at Row 34 are exactly like those that owner/chef Jeremy Sewall's grandmother Ethel used to cook. In addition to serving the even more sinful warm roll, the Seaport location also serves the creamy, cold form of this classic, which is a must, especially for nostalgic reasons. Choose the latter, and you'll receive a griddled bun filled with sweet lobster meat that has only been lightly salted and coated with melted butter.

At this Fort Point establishment from Jeremy Sewall and the crew behind Island Creek Oyster Bar, exceptionally fresh seafood is the name of the game. Sewall's grandmother's recipe for hot and cold lobster rolls is featured on the menu, along with cider-steamed mussels, fried oysters, Maine crab cakes, and both hot and cold oysters. Fresh oysters are obtained from the oyster beds in Wellfleet, Duxbury, Plymouth, Chatham, and other nearby locations. The staff at Row 34 is just as passionate about beer as they are about oysters, so make sure to order whatever is suggested from the selection of rare, local, and small-batch craft beers that are currently on tap.
