Time for a taste of lobster. Curbside pickup is how we’re “dining out” on our late summer vacation.
Last night we decided to pick up from Mac’s Chatham for a second time both because grilled lobster is on the menu and the restaurant is convenient to our rental.
Lobsters were cooked to perfection. Even though the menu says that lobster dinner includes corn and a choice of (boiled) red potatoes or side salad, the person taking our order offered the additional options of garlic fries or onion rings, so we ordered one dinner with the excellent fries and one with rings. Because vacation. Italian bubbles to sip, which we brought from home.
These were some big crustaceans! We’re as sure as we can be without weighing the lobsters that we received an upgrade. We saved enough shelled lobster for a second dinner. Thinking maybe a spicy pasta.
Would do a repeat of this on another trip, except I would try to convince my husband that sides should be garlic fries and green salad.
Onion rings were okay, in what seemed to be a seasoned batter? (Woodmans on Cape Ann is our gold standard for rings.) The corn we ate only because we needed a non-fried vegetable. Ha.
We also noticed that lobsters seem to taste sweeter here, similar to Martha’s Vineyard, as opposed to the more mineral flavor profile we’re used to up in Cape Ann and Maine.
