If you're craving a great raw bar, lobster roll, or soft-shell crab sandwich (in season), Mermaid Oyster Bar gives nearby classics Mary's Fish Camp and Pearl Oyster Bar a run for their money. Chef Lawrence Edelman (who also helms the city's two Mermaid Inn locations) goes beyond the comfort-food classics, though, with an alluring menu of sophisticated dinner choices.

If you like it cooked, grilled albacore sandwiches,...

The lobster roll is delicious, a treat. $30 seems reasonable for the very generous amount of lobster chunks. Very friendly and fast service, too. I'll be returning there for sure!
