The Lobster ---- A large marine crustacean, revered by diners around the world.....especially in Cape Cod.
For my wife a trip to Cape Cod means dining on lobster at least once per day (and twice a day is preferred). Near our Brewster beach house we found TJ’s Seafood with comfortable out door dining and a multitude of lobster selections for lunch and dinner. The ‘Chowdah’ is pretty good too.....also the fried claims...and the scallop roll.....should I go on?
Next we found the Lobster Claw in Orleans. Five adults and four grandkids were ready for a feast, no doubt about it. The 1¼ lb. lobsters filled the table. My daughter, a lobster maven, provided real-time instruction for the neophytes to the art of feasting on the red crustaceans. The kids were very interested to learn of the different parts of the lobster. Then things got really exciting when the waitress brought a live lobster to the table. Cape Cod does it again.
The climax for our sojourn to Cape Cod was The Road House in Hyannis with my brother-in-law. Yes, another night of lobster. But we found an entree with no limits...1½ lb lobster with diver scallop stuffing, layered with fresh asparagus and garlic mushrooms. We enjoyed the feast for half of the night.....incredibly awesome! And did I mention they serve martinis. A culinary feast for the ages.
