Bunker’s Seafood and Spirits

About This Establishment

Harborfront casual spot with deck seating over Bunker's Harbor. The Lobster Roll hides chunky lobster meat in a buttered bun; the Fried Seafood arrives crackling and tender at the same time. The Captain's Platter gives a patchwork of shellfish—shrimp, scallops, clams, haddock—each bite delivering crisp crust and briny bite. End with Blueberry Pie, whose flaky crust and tart fruit deliver a bright finish.
