You probably saw that article title and had some qualms. After all, lobster rolls are primarily associated with Maine. While there are seafood restaurants in Maine that offer up delicious takes on lobster rolls, we think the best lobster rolls in New England are found right here in Connecticut. Stowe’s Seafood is a delicious eatery in West Haven that is the quintessential beach side seafood shack. This place has all kinds of delicious seafood on the menu. Make sure to save room for the lobster rolls, because they’re incredible.

Stowe's Seafood has the great beachside atmosphere you'd expect from a long-standing seafood shack. They recently redecorated some and upgraded their outside area, but they've still got the same eclectic charm and fun ambiance as always.

The nautical themed decor will have you feeling like a pirate. We love that this place is open year-round. So many beach restaurants in Connecticut are closed during the colder months, but this is somewhere you can enjoy seafood no matter the season!
