Say the word lobster, and the state of Maine immediately comes to mind. But these tasty crustaceans are actually caught off Atlantic waters as far south as North Carolina. Recreational anglers can trap as many as six lobsters per day in Garden State waters. Commercially, millions of dollars worth of lobsters are harvested in New Jersey every year.
I rarely see locally caught seafood on menus in the New York/New Jersey area, but Red's Lobster Pot in Point Pleasant Beach, N.J. proudly serves New Jersey lobster on its menu. The 1.75-pound steamed lobsters are served with corn on the cob, cole slaw and drawn butter for $30 at this dockside BYOB.
Full service dining is available inside, but I much prefer the informal outdoor seating, right on the Manasquan River. Red's is far enough away from the Jenkinson's boardwalk for peace and quiet, but close enough for a walk to Kohr's Frozen Custard for dessert afterward.
Red's Lobster Pot is located at 57 Inlet Drive, Point Pleasant Beach, NJ.
