Stonington Seafood Harvesters is owned by the Bombster family and is a local institution.

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".

We seem to spend an inordinate amount of time taxiing people to and from New London trains. The ones arriving are usually late so it is nice to have a place to go for a really good snack while waiting.
