"You’re on the New England coast, so you probably want to eat a lobster roll while sitting at a picnic table and looking at the water. This is where you should do that when you’re in Mystic, as Seaview does all the sea shack-style classics well, including fried clam, scallop, and shrimp platters, along with juicy little burgers. And of course, lobster rolls—theirs come with flaky bits of lobster and chunks of claw meat mixed with sweet mayonnaise. When you’re done, walk around the building to Twisters for a soft serve cone with sprinkles. Congrats, you just had the ideal New England sea shack dinner." - tanya edwards
