One reason for the short line today at Sesuit Harbor was a rather chilly 58 degree (14 degrees Celsius) lunchtime air temperature. That there was a line at all is testament to the drawing power of Cape Cod’s best lobster roll and the last chance to experience it this year (or maybe forever).
What makes this lobster roll special is the sheer quantity of perfectly cooked claw meat and the great restraint the kitchen shows in adding much of anything else to interfere with it.
It’s not a fancy place, but an outdoor cafe in a busy harbor and marina.
That provides a bit of entertainment value.
We’ll be following the local news. The neighbors want to shut down the entire operation because its popularity generates too much traffic. Seems that the owners of a lot of very beautiful and expensive homes built after the marina and cafe had been in operation for many years would like to improve the neighborhood. That would be a disappointment for those of us with a fondness for a superb lobster roll in a pretty setting and who are willing to tolerate the traffic jam for a few minutes of home grown perfection.
