Last Sunday, I had a crazy craving for some lobster roll. We thought of going to Denmo’s in Southbury, which is the nearest place we buy lobster rolls, fried clams and soft shell crabs from. But I wanted to go somewhere new and found two places in Westport, CT – Joey’s By The Shore and Westfair Fish and Chips. I called both places to find out what time they close. Turns out Joey’s By The Shore close earlier than Westfair. Since it would take us about 40 minutes to get to Westport, Westfair won. This is how it looks like outside.
There were a lot of people when we went there. Some were seated; others were waiting for their take-out. We planned to get food for take-out, but since we found two bar stools near the window, we stayed. These were on the wall next to my chair.
This is part of the menu. I couldn’t take a picture of the whole menu because there were people in front of it.
My husband ordered a Soft-Shell Crab Sandwich with a side of french fries.
I got what we came here for – Hot Lobster Roll with coleslaw on the side.
Happily, Westfair’s food didn’t disappoint. As usual, hubby and I shared what we ordered. The lobster roll had lobster meat that was so fresh and juicy. The soft shell crab sandwich was crispy-fried to perfection. In fact, we ate the entire crab. Even if we had to wait a bit, the food was well worth the wait.
I confess, I get charmed by seafood shacks near the water. As if the food they’re serving is freshly caught from the waters near them, which may or may not be the case. However, Westfair Fish and Chips is not near any body of water. In fact, it’s located in a strip mall of sorts, kind of a hole-in-the-wall joint. But with fresh seafood served pretty well, I’m not complaining. I’m only too glad to discover yet another place to buy lobster rolls and soft shell crab sandwiches from here in Connecticut.
