I seem to recall having great lobsters and buckets of steamers in
Plymouth. There were two places, both on the water, neither of them
fancy and both of them very, very good.

After we get back from our cruise which lands in Boston in
mid-September, we will be wanting some lobstah and steamahs. I hope
there is some place we can get them heading south along the coast.
