Seafood the way it should be done, The New England Way.
Once a bait shop, Hingham Lobster Pound is now a takeout clam shack that has Nantasket Beach goers swerving off 3A for their breaded fried clams. Many seafood specialists find flour to be a cheaper, lighter alternative, but the Pound spares no expense to create a 2nd skin of blistering crunch over each briny full-bellied clam. The onion rings crackle with the same fried coating, and the banana fritters melt in your mouth. Nostalgic Pictures of Hingham and Nantasket cover the ordering galley, and customers can quiz themselves with Trivial Pursuit cards while waiting. Call ahead two hours for steamed lobster.

Local Secrets, Big Finds Rated 5 of 5
by Local Secrets from New York, New York - Sitting "on a curve in the road with little parking and no place to eat inside, Hingham Lobster Pound is a hidden gem." From the fried clams to the fish and chips (and don't forget the banana fritters), "it's by far the best, freshest example of local seafood." This "counter-only, seasonal restaurant" fosters the long-held "local tradition of how families along the cost of New England to eat fried seafood."
