Connecticut has its fair share of well-known seafood shacks along the shoreline but there’s one in particular that regularly attracts visitors from far and wide. For the freshest lobster rolls, you’ll want lobster fresh off the boat and that’s exactly what you’ll get at the Guilford Lobster Pound.
You can’t get any closer to the coast than this popular eatery on the dock in Guilford Harbor. A go-to destination for lobster, the Guilford Lobster Pound serves its fresh catch up with waterfront views.

Every morning around 4 a.m., Captain Bart Mansi leaves the dock aboard his lobster boat to bring in the menu item for the day.

The lobsters are taken off the boat and placed in 38-degree water to ensure they stay fresh. Lobsters can be purchased at the pound but the stars of the show are the deliciously fresh lobster rolls.
