Ah, there's nothing quite like the touch of the ocean air and the smell of fried clams in the summer! For many, grabbing a lobster roll or a plate of fried clam at the local seafood shack is the best part of a summer vacation.
 
Many lobster and seafood shacks are owned by local families and even though they tend to lack air conditioning on a hot summer day, the line to grab some fresh fried seafood and a sizzling cola is always out the door! Many of these restaurants are only open during the summer, so be sure to get your seafood fixin' in before the season changes. 
 
I've compiled a list of some of the best seafood and lobster shacks here in New England. Enjoy!
