Q&A with Andrea
What was the Lobster Roll like when it opened in 1965?AA: We started as a small roadside family-run business. Fred worked the kitchen, my father-in-law shucked clams, my brother-in-law prepped the food, my mother-in-law did the baking and worked as a server with her sisters. Lots of locals and tourists would visit. For many people, this is where summer begins.
What’s your go-to order?AA: It’s a toss-up between the hot lobster roll and the fish and chips. For dessert, the homemade apple crisp with ice cream and caramel drizzle.
What connects you to your community?AA: I’ve been in the East End for the last 44 years. The beaches, farm stands, small towns and generations of people who have crossed my path are all huge parts of who I am.

Brooklyn, NYThe Crabby Shack
Co-owners Gwen Woods & Fifi Bell-Clanton
Q&A with Gwen & Fifi
Tell us about the inception of the Crabby Shack.FBC: We opened our doors in 2014 as a comforting destination in the city, similar to seafood shacks in Nantucket. This is an oasis created from a place of love and hard work, providing delicious food and great vibes. We know many of our customers by name and they’re like family. Without them, we wouldn’t be here.
What’s your go-to order?FBC: The Dungeness crab-leg platter with corn and potatoes. We serve it with our signature beer sauce and a mix of garlic and spicy butter.
GW: The crab roll tossed in warm garlic butter on a toasted Martin’s bun. Plus, honey butter cornbread—a crowd favorite!

How do you connect to the coast?GW: We love the ocean and are avid beachgoers. Our crab is wild caught, and we understand the importance of keeping our waters free from pollution—not to mention the dangers of overfishing for the ecosystem. We’re mindful of waste and do our best to minimize its effect. Our neighbors repurpose the crab shells for gardening!

Provincetown, MAThe Lobster Pot
Co-owners and brothers Shawn & Tim McNulty
Q&A with Shawn & Tim
What makes the Lobster Pot unique?SM & TM: We take a lot of pride in elevating fresh, local ingredients to new heights and often pay tribute to the seafaring roots of our community. Most of our menu items are locally sourced, oftentimes from companies run by childhood friends. We support local everything.
Tell us about this place’s history.SM & TM: The building itself has been the Lobster Pot for a very long time. We have pictures on display showing the building back in the ’30s and ’40s when it was just a rustic seafood shack. People would walk in off the beach and get something to eat.
How do you connect with your natural surroundings?SM & TM: Living in Provincetown means that you have a special relationship with the ocean and its bounty. We grew up with seafood as a staple and spent many hours fishing, harvesting shellfish and more for home-cooked meals—not just for sport. It’s part of the fabric of the community.
