Eat in the rough, great food but prices out of control.
If you are looking for a picture postcard New England experience, this is it. Simple and rustic - you can pick out your lobster from the table out front, then have it cooked, put on your bib and sit on the benches with the rest of the folk and chow down. It is fun and yes, you can probably have a more formal setting for lobster meal, but this is a dining experience to put in the memory bank.
Fish and chips and crowds.
Woodman's used to be the go to spot on Cape Ann. There are so many better places to go (Causeway for one)
Great fried fish, esp. clams. They do a fine off-site lobster bake. A tradition getting a little worn.
