Abbott's Lobster in the Rough

Lobster Lover's Guide

If Connecticut ever had to name an Official State Food, it would probably be a close call between pizza and lobster. Of course, lobster has been on the menu here a lot longer, dating back to the days before the European settlers arrived. And today it’s available all over the state, served in all sorts of ways and always hard to say no to. Here’s a quick look at some of the best purveyors that are currently offering takeout, delivery or outdoor dining.
