Craving a Lobster Roll? These Spots Offer the Best in Connecticut

With Labor Day upon us, summer may be over from a calendar standpoint, but that doesn't mean you should give up your craving for a delicious lobster roll.

They might not be the state's official signature food (pizza might out rank them for that title), but lobster rolls are quintessentially Connecticut. And with so many great waterfront and seafood restaurants in the state, you should have no trouble finding a mouth-watering lobster roll.

To help you with that quest, Connecticut Magazine recently came up with a list of the 10 best lobster rolls in the state.

"In the decades since this culinary discovery, other New England states may have become better known for lobster rolls (we’re looking at you, Maine), but Connecticut has more than held its own with places like Abbott’s Lobster in the Rough, Lobster Landing and Captain Scott’s Lobster Dock consistently making Best of New England lists," writes authors Kate Hartman, Erik Ofgang and Albert Yuravich.

Below is the list from Connecticut Magazine. Let us know in the comments section if you agree.

• Lenny & Joe’s Fish Tale, with locations in Westbrook, Madison and New Haven
• Captain Scott's Lobster Dock, New London
