There is really nothing quite like a great seafood shack. You know what I am talking about – that spot near the beach that serves the best lobster rolls, fried shrimp and clam chowder and doesn’t require shoes or fancy clothes to be served. Here in Connecticut we have quite a few shacks that serve top notch seafood, but many of them are only open seasonally and that’s a real bummer. Fortunately for us, there is a seafood shack located right on the coast where you can get absolutely mouthwatering dishes all year round.
Stowe’s Seafood is located right on the coast of Connecticut in West Haven. It has a real authentic seafood shack look and style complete with buoys hanging on the wall and an overturned rowboat advertising lobsters.

The decor inside is an eclectic combination of things that are coastal like traps, buoys, nets and stuffed fish along with a little more pirate themed stuff like signs, flags and tables. There is certainly no shortage of things to catch your eye in this joint.

The big draw at Stowe’s Seafood is the hot buttery lobster roll. It is the juicy tender meat dripping with butter that has been a long time favorite in Connecticut and this seafood shack serves up the delicacy just right.

The fried seafood like shrimp or calamari are crispy on the outside with not too much breading. Paired with the seasoned fries it makes a perfect beach side meal.
