LOBSTER ROLLS Because we all know the claw and tail meats are the best parts of the lobster, anyways. ANTHONY’S SEAFOOD Guy Fieri has made Anthony’s Seafood an even bigger hit than it already was amongst locals by sharing it with the nation on the Food Network’s “Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives.” With classics like perfectly buttery lobster rolls and stuffed quahogs (known as “stuffies” to most Rhode Islanders) along with unique options like Portuguese fish chowder on the menu, it’s easy to understand the attention. Middletown OYSTERS WALRUS AND CARPENTER ORIGINALS Where they’re farmed: Charlestown Profile: Brackish with a buttery polish. MOONSTONE OYSTERS FROM CEDAR ISLAND OYSTER FARM CHAMPLIN’S SEAFOOD DECK Served on throwaway plates with plastic utensils, Champlin’s (mouthwatering, might we add) dishes are perfect for families with youngin’s in tow. Just order yourself a formidable, tasty lobster salad roll and kick back and relax on the upper deck while the kiddos marvel as all of the fishing charters, and even the Block Island Ferry, come in to dock. Narragansett Where they’re farmed: Point Judith Pond Profile: Large, full-bodied with a pleasant umami and mineral flavor. MATUNUCK FARM OYSTERS Where they’re farmed: Potter Pond FINN’S HARBORSIDE Between the ultimate lobster roll (a whopping two pounds of lobster salad on a loaf of fresh ciabatta bread), the classic lobster salad roll (served on a torpedo roll), the half lobster roll (served on a grilled bun) and the mini lobster roll (which comes with a cup of chowder and two clam cakes), it’s safe to say the menu at Finn’s Harborside has your cravings covered. Even better, the restaurant also regularly hosts live entertainment each week. East Greenwich QUITO’S RESTAURANT AND BAR With an outdoor patio overlooking Bristol Harbor and an indoor dining area complete with a cozy fireplace, guests at Quito’s can enjoy a variety of delicious seafood plates and cocktails in what- ever atmosphere they please. (We’re partial to the fresh air and the fresh lobster roll.) Bristol in East Matunuck Profile: Crisp and salty right from the first gulp. MOORESFIELD OYSTER FARM’S AFTERNOON DELIGHTS Where they’re farmed: Point Judith Pond Profile: Briny up front and sweet on the finish. SALT WATER FARMS’ UMAMI OYSTERS Where they’re farmed: Narragansett Bay Profile: Smaller with a robust, clean taste. Two Little Fish in Westerly serves both cold lobster salad rolls and hot buttered lobster rolls. Pair either wth hearty helpings of cole slaw and fries or onion rings.
