Sea Swirl

Sea Swirl is your typical fast food fried sea food. I have had the fried clams a few time, which were good. It isn't cheap.

Stonington Seafood Harvesters

Image
Stonington Seafood Harvesters is owned by the Bombster family and is a local institution. This family has several huge fishing trawlers that they use to harvest some to the best scallops you will ever taste. The scallops are flash frozen on the boat, as they are caught, way out at sea, so are always of the upmost freshest. They have a big distribution area, but are also the main source of scallops to the local restaurants where they will be described on the menu as the "Bomster Scallops".

Abbott's is a famous destination spot for lobster. When I was in my early teens, I was frequently given the task of taking the Boston Whaler across the river to Abbott's to pick up dinner. This place is very well known, but is mostly for tourists.

This is not to say you would not have fun at Abbotts on a beautiful summer day standing on it dock looking at the boats going by and large fish that come up to its dock. It is just not a restful experience , with droves of people, and long lines or the most economical way to have lobster, but when you say you were in Mystic, the inevitable question will be, "Did you eat at Abbott's?" They have a brother restaurant called Costello's, just down the road that serves clams and is more like a food truck, that I kind of prefer.

Mystic Soup Company

The Mystic Soup Company is a little walk in place that makes just soup, mostly for takeout, that has lines out the door. It is only open for a few hours a day, but is often sold out. I have been there a few times and they create very unusual, but delicious soup. It is difficult to find tucked in a building behind Behind Sea Swirl.
