captain scott's lobster dock

this dock is an amazingplaceto have seafood. the lobster roll here doesn't disappoint. fish--chips was fresh too as like the lobsters.
be ready for long queues. there's ample seating in the open. not suitable for winter though. but you'll have a great time with your people at this place.

this is a excellentplacefor a fast seafood bite! i requested the lobster roll, which was wet, tender, juicy, warm and buttery. and you can't go incorrect with a side of french fries - completely crisp and fresh. a gem of new london for certain. one can enjoy the food expertise that much more while ignoring the docks, sailboats and crisp-blue waters. i extremely recommend it!

if you are looking for a casualplacewith great seafood, this is it. it's not fancy but the prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is fun. this is an outdoorplaceand byob so pack your chardonnay and sweater because it's fun. the lines can get long but don't despair, they work through th quicker than you'd imagine. you order at one window and pick up at the other. grab a spot on the rail or picnic table and you'll meet interesting people. the train runs through and you can see the envy in the amtrak passenger faces as you dig into your lobster roll. lobster rolls are in two sizes and type; cold (new england with mayo) or my fav warm (ct style with warm butter). a large is only $16.95 and generously portioned. a little hard to find, it's just off hamilton near the yacht dealers and marinas.

officially love lobster. i am from tx and wanted an authentic sea food experience visiting ct, and thisplacegave it to me. the staff was friendly and helped us choose some yummy dinner choices. the clam chowder was amazing and the lobster roll was out of this world. the atmosphere is very relaxed and neat to see all the docked boats in the harbor. they totally made my trip to ct memorable.

the meat is fresh picked, never been frozen, they don’t pick it themselves, but they get it fresh picked from aplacenearby, according to the gal at the counter. there is tail and claw meat, nicely cooked, tender, tasty and the butter manages to coat the meat, not be too hot and drip off onto the bread. the bread is a standard wonder type bun, i would rather they went with a more bakery fresh one, but it is good, nicely grilled and somewhat larger than the usual bun.

get your greasy seafood here. this is theplacefor fried seafood. my parents used to be caretakers at crocker's, right across the cove. it suffered a little perhaps 7 or 8 years ago when it changed hands, but seems to be back to the usual grade a fried seafood. enjoy!

love it!!!. grade: a-

update: got the chance to go through new london and stop here again. in addition to a full lobster dinner for $18.95 and great chowder, we found that captain scott's has a fish market and we were able to bring home some beautiful scallops and oysters. heaven!

several years ago, while leading a group of american and japanese teenagers around the country, i asked the local hotelier to recommend an authentic seafoodplaceon the water. she and a council of three other employees said that, hands down, it had to be captain scott's lobster dock.

this is the real deal.placeyour order at the window and, when called, take it to one of the many picnic tables. dynamite fresh lobster, wonderful chowder...and affordable.

when i'm in this neck of the woods, stopping here is a must.

if you like eating fried seafood on picnic tables right next to the boat docks --this is theplacefor you. pretty good selection and fairly inexpensive. due to crowds and a slow kitchen, you should plan for some time to get your order in and then subsequently get your food. the food was a little too greasy for me but the rest of our group enjoyed it. by the way -- if you want beer or wine -- bring your own.
