Brine Oyster • Crudo • Chops

4 Best Day Trips From Boston to Salem, Newburyport, and Provincetown | Condé Nast Traveler

"The menu at Brine consists of unique interpretations of top-notch meats and fresh seafood ; take, for example, the clam chowder that switches bacon bits for soft slices of pork belly. But whatever you end up ordering, make sure to start with the Power Tower seafood platter—oysters, shrimp, crab, lobster, and littleneck clams—and end with the salted caramel soufflé. The intimate space has just 50 or so seats and an interior that feels more sophisticated than your typical seafood joint—think exposed brick and Carrara marble. Come here for proof that New England's culinary scene has much more than lobster rolls and fried clams." - Todd Plummer
