Great Tasting Lobster

The Lobster Trap
1962 Avenue Road

The Lobster Trap has the best lobster bisque I've had anywhere, ever. Creamy and rich, it is loaded with chunks of lobster, and is to be savored. Don't pass this up! I’ve had serious cravings for this soup.

While the menu has an array of other seafood, stick with what this place is famous for - its lobster. Whole lobsters (ranging from 1 lb. to 4 lbs), can be ordered either broiled or steamed. Go with the broiled - the bodies are cut in half and served with slightly toasted buttered bread crumbs. Usually a 1 lb. lobster is a large enough size. For an extra $7, you get a cup of soup, and soft drink. Toasted buns smothered with butter and garlic are provided with the meal, and are hard to resist when warm.

Don't be put off by the tacky, fisherman's Wharf-like decor, or photos on the web-site - trust me, the food is totally worth it. Service is usually pretty swift and efficient - and lobster diners are provided with a linen bib to protect against potential spray. Avoid this meal if you are on a first date, or with someone who doesn't like seafood.
