Lobster heaven
March 19, 2014

Best lobster experience of life.
For 18$, I got a lobster larger than the size of my head, a potato salad, and some garlic butter. There's absolutely no pretentiousness here. You grab a tray, pick a lobster, and chow down on probably one of the messiest meals of your life.
We made a day of it and visited the bay... more

We were staying in the area, and visited this shop twice. First time we were just looking around the village, and came to the shop at closing time. However, the owner was really nice, took time to talk to us and we decided to come back here the next day to buy stuff to make seafood dinner.

We were so looking forward to having lobster after driving for two days from North Carolina. All the signs said 'open' but the shop was closed! No reason given for the closing.

Best Lobster Roll Ever
September 08, 2013

I have lived in NB all my life and have purchased cooked and live lobster from this shop. However, this past summer was the first time I had lunch there and purchased their lobster roll. It was full of chunky lobster pieces (1/4 lb of lobster goodness) with a hint of garlic butter taste. I was with 5 others who... more

Fabulous place to get fresh lobster at a reasonable price. We ordered it cooked and ate it at one of their picnic tables overlooking the bay! At low tide, you can walk off your meal on the beach there. It would be nice if they had more side items to choose from, but I guess if you get a big... more

Best Lobster Roll in N.B
August 31, 2013

This beats the pants off other lobster rolls in the Maritimes, and we tried quite a few! There is enough lobster in this roll to make at least two of the portions given elsewhere. The bun literally groans with lobster chunks and the tasty recipe is superb.

unhelpful staff, cold PREcooked lobster
August 29, 2013

We are not from here, and are used to hot lobster. We went into the shop looking to have dinner, and at first we actually felt kind of ignored. We asked what and how...but the girl behind the counter only said...' you can pick a lobster over there.' So we got ourselves an iced lobster, not knowing what was next...Then... more

If you have craving for lobsters, skip the restaurants and go to the Alma lobster shop. You can get amazing fresh, hot or cold lobsters for half the price you pay in the restaurants. We asked for hot lobsters, and had to wait for 15 minutes until they were ready; while we were waiting we walked on a nice beach... more

August 17, 2013

Pick your precooked lobster, choose butter plain or with garlic, add some sides and sit on the picnic tables or enclosed patio outside and enjoy. You can bring your own drinks.
Lobster was delicious but a bit salty. Prices are reasonable so you can pick a huge lobster- prices are written right on the claw.

August 12, 2013

They packed us a "picnic" to take back to our motel, complete with cold, boiled lobsters ( you pick the one you want), potato salad and cole slaw. Even gave us extra butter to melt and cracked the claws and tail for us. Friendly and helpful. Only lobster market open in Alma after 6 pm

Lobsters are ready to go-either warm or cold and clearly price marked on the claw. Take out or eat at picnic tables on their enclosed deck. Friendly service, good lobster and reasonable price. You can BYOB if you like and they'll give you cups.

Our first supper was thanks to the Lobster Shop. My daughter had lobster a couple of times before, but was always presented as a cut-open lobster tail with the trimmings. This time, it was a full lobster, surrounded with mussels. The look on her face was priceless - but she managed to eat everything. As for my youngest daughter, it... more

Straightforward. Get a freshly cooked lobster, and eat it
August 12, 2012

Pick a cooked lobster based on its size/price (written with black marker on one of its claws). They'll cut open the main bits to help the amateurs (like we were). They put it on a tray, with napkins, picks, pincers etc. Walk outside and sit at a picnic table, and blast away at the lobster. The cooked lobster is sitting... more

Just plain lobster
August 07, 2012

Great seafood shop just on the edge of Alma. 2 choices for cooked lobster at incredibly reasonable prices. We split a larger beastie for lunch. They give you a tray, crackers, scissors, melted butter & lots of napkins. Picnic tables are outside behind the shop. No eating inside. For inexpensive cooked lobster with no frills, you can't beat it.

good BUT for barnacle on claw

Staffer claimed a barnacle on the claw of a $26 lobster would not affect the quality of the underlying meat - it certainly DID on that claw. Otherwise, lobster was good.
