Why dine here
Since 1925 the Hook family has wholesaled lobster from Boston's waterfront, and their counter sells the trade direct: lobster rolls packed heavy, steamed lobsters, chowder, and little else, eaten at outdoor tables with the harbor working around you. It is the anti-restaurant - paper trays, sea air, fair prices for the weight of meat - and children find the whole scene (tanks, crates, boats) an attraction in itself. Muslim-traveler notes: a seafood-only counter simplifies things considerably, though chowder preparation should be asked; no meaningful bar presence. Hanafi-following diners should note this is shellfish territory almost entirely. A short walk from the Children's Museum and Seaport hotels.
