Alive & Kicking Lobsters

Yummy fresh lobsters but the clams were a bit sandy.

龍蝦很新鮮好吃～尤其沾上奶油直接上天堂，濃湯也可以點！但有可能賣完大家可以早一點去！

Great people, good Boston spot. So many Chinese nationals you can't get a seat though. Decouple China!

大大大龍蝦 龍蝦很新鮮～但旁邊的貝類很多沙⋯微難吃。 大推薦必點濃湯！旁邊會有奶油吐司～好喝讚

Priced have risen on lobster meat, but very sweet and lots of tails!

Great tasting lobsters and lobster sandwiches. Best lobster bisque in the world--seriously. Seafood chowder also very good. We always go here for the lobster special, which is reasonably priced. Where else in Boston can you get 2 lobsters and a bowl of mussels for less than 50 bucks? This place rocks.

There for the food

Years back, I had an out of town client I was bringing back to our office in HSq who spotted the name with a chuckle. "Only in the Republic of Cambridge would you have a fish shack packed into a 1940's gas station. Yeah," he went on, "they probably smoke the fish with cannabis. So, Cambridge." The next day, I had our receptionist order their lobster sandwiches for his meeting. He and I headed over to pick up lunch. His reaction when I pulled into the CROWDED parking area ... "You have got to be kidding!" Not knowing what we were having for lunch, he grumbled as we slipped into this TINY closet of a fish store - café. As he watched them grill up the last of the sandwiches his eyes grew to the size of limes. Yes, it took almost 12 minutes to negotiate a left turn out. YES, park down the street. You'll need the walk. The client, at the close of the meeting, requested a stop back there en route to the airport. Whereupon, he purchased two for his trip back to London. The first of many drive bys he has requested over the last 15 years. If it were not for his smart mouth, I'd still be driving by to get fish at Bread & Checkbook. Thanks to that cheeky Brit, Alive & Kickin has become our go to fish store. And yes, we love sitting under the make shift tin shack outside, reveling in our bliss watching the fools speed by.

The portions of the lobster were well worth what I paid and it was fresh.
