Agree on the Old Salt. We had the King Neptune twice but we needed four people to eat all the food. Sorry you don't like the Lobster Boat. If you don't like the feel then you probably don't like Georges in Meredith. Both have the same feel but we frequent both places. For us both offer good food at good prices.

Oh, I forgot George's! That place is a steal—seafood platter under $30 = crazy deal.

George's doesn't feel as dark, dingy, or greasy as the Lobster Boat; the people are nicer; and the food has been way better.

That Neptune's Platter at The Old Salt = LEGIT.

Have been trying to get to Pop's all summer and finally decided to make the 32 mile trip today.

I parked right in front. Close enough to read the sign...

"CLOSED FOR THE DAY DUE TO FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL"

Although, probably the best clams around. There are other perfectly acceptable alternatives.

It'll be a while before I may consider driving that distance again and find them closed due to ?.

Your kids became my problem. Not a good way to do business.

We had lunch at George's today. We just had sandwiches but the people next to us had seafood platters and they looked really good. We try to hit the all you can eat fish fry and the fish is always fresh. While waiting for our food we noticed that they're getting a little worn and need a good cleaning and some fresh paint.

Yup, that's George's. I've had their fried clams. I like George's. But not their clams.

I've had great clams at Weathervane, Lobster-in-the-Rough, at The Weirs; And you can go by boat. Haven't been lately since they were closed during COVID.

We went to the weathervane at the weirs last week. I wanted a seafood platter but they wanted $8.50 for whole belly clams on top of the $39.95 for the platter with strips. I passed and had haddock. George's haddock is much better.
