Tom’s Lobster Shack was a small building on the corner of the parking lot for the very popular lighthouse at Peggy’s Cove. They are open daily but do close in the winter. The seating was on picnic tables on the deck around their building. There was one window to place your order and another to pick it up. Birds knew the place and the signs asked you to not feed them Sandwiches came with chips and bread and butter pickles. They served a number of items but are known for their lobster rolls, which are prepared several ways. All are served on a toasted bun and we chose a Classic and a Naked. The Classic had lobster mixed with mayo, celery, parsley, shallot, lettuce and green onions while the Naked was lobster with butter, herbs, secret seasoning and lettuce. Both sandwiches were stuffed with lobster meat but this time I preferred the Classic sandwich over the buttered one. The mix looks heavy on the mayo but it did not taste that way. It blended and accented the sweet lobster meat better to me. But the best way to do it is to get one of each and swap bites. The chips were chips but the pickles were quite good too.









Those look delicious! The first time I had a lobster roll in my life was in 2008. I spent 2 weeks in Rhode Island. Funny thing was after having several at places the locals told me had the best, the ones I enjoyed most ended up being at the sandwich chain Blimpies!
That is funny! This one was different in that I liked the one with mayo better than the butter which is not my usual.
