The Lobster House

The starter section of the menu is full of seafood — oysters, lobster bisque, clam chowder and smoked eel amongst others. I ordered the Cornish Crab Cake (£7.50), which was very nice and full of crab meat but maybe a little small for the price. I was pleased to see that Antonia’s Grilled Squid (£9.50) came whole, including tenticles rather than in boring rings but it was a tad overcooked and again, a bit steeply priced.
On to the main course we both had to have a whole lobster — we rarely have it and usually share one if we do so decided this was the night to go big. I’d had a look at the menu online and seen that they offer New England Live Lobsters — steamed or grilled, served with skinny fries & dressed salad in three sizes;
1.25lb for £20.00
1.50lb for £25.00
2.00lb for £30.00
On the night the 1.25lb option was the only one on the menu. I was a bit disappointed as I was planning on taking on the 2lb beast but in retrospect, 1.25lb was plenty! The lobster comes cracked (as you’d expect) and with a small plate of tools, including a super cool lobster bib. None of the other diners got in to the spirit of things but we proudly donned our bibs and got ready for battle.

Reeaalllly liked the lobster and had amazing time sitting on the private jetty. You won;t get closer to the water than this. The owner is super nice and we go here as often as possible for dinner.
