There’s a sneaky-good lobster roll just 18 miles from the city in a quiet residential area along Little Harbor.
In the charming coastal town of Marblehead, an unassuming fish market is quietly making some of the best lobster rolls in Massachusetts. The lobster is so fresh, you can watch the fishing boats trickle in with the catch of the day.
A Marblehead institution, the shop carries a legacy over 100 years, and while highly acclaimed along the North Shore, and just minutes from the scenic byway, you won’t find it overrun with tourists.
Little Harbor Lobster Company serves its rolls from dock to dish. The menu is tiny—serving just two sandwiches—a lobster roll and an equally delicious shrimp roll served on a toasted bun alongside homemade potato chips. The fish market also serves a few sides like clam chowder as well as fresh fish and shellfish.
The menu and shop are small, but this is a true no-frills seafood experience. Enjoy the freshest catch straight from the ocean and enjoy it on one of the two outdoor blue bistro tables or wooden picnic table overlooking Marblehead Harbor—a true New England seafood experience.
