Local Secrets, Big Finds 2007 Pick

  • March 18, 2008
  • Rated 5 of 5 by Local Secrets from New York, New York
At the "very end of Bowen’s Wharf," this "off-beat place" allows you to get a glimpse of "lobsters and seafood as they come fresh from the boats." They are then placed "into large holding bins that are pumped with salt water." Visitors can "buy fresh lobsters of any size and the local owners will pack them in ice, wrap them in newspaper, and then plastic bag them," a method that keeps everything extra fresh, even if you have a long drive. They only take checks or cash, so "even if you don’t buy lobsters," it is "well worth the visit" to see into a true seaman’s world.
