On a very rainy day, my friend and I went to the Alma Lobster Shop. Not only do they sell lobster and other seafood fresh, cooked, but they also have a sit down restaurant. My friend ordered their lobster roll dinner. The roll had a lot of lobster pieces and wasn't heavy on the mayonnaise. My friend ordered another one for dinner but as take out, and the order came very quickly. I decided to order their lobster dinner. They provide the tools for you, and the servers will always provide suggestions on ways to get to the lobster meat easily. They also have a mural on their wall with instructions on how to eat a whole lobster. Thr lobster was really good and it was very fresh. Definitely come back here for more lobster and lobster rolls. read more

Good food. Awful service. The good: Lobster Roll had good fresh meat. Fried clams were well prepared. The bad: sat at a table and waited more than 10min for a server. Eventually flagged one down and ordered. Waited over 40 minutes for our order. During the wait we watched them seat, take the orders, bring the food out, and take the payment from several patrons. Waited an equally absurd amount of time to pay. Do yourself a favor order to go. read more

This is not only a Lobster shop! It is a Gem restaurant in Alma!!! I ordered the chowder and lobster roll combo and the amount of lobster in the roll is amazing! Tast absolutely gorgeous. The chowder is a must! We also had the haddock burger....very tasty! Last but not least, Skor cheesecake.... Perfect way to end the meal! Must go when you are in Alma. There is also designated outdoor area for you and your dog to enjoy the meal. Our server is super friendly as well! read more

My wife ordered a 2-pound lobster and was given a choice of "hot or cold" -- she asked for hot, but what arrived was a pre-cooked, stone cold lobster. When told, the waitress offered a curt apology but nothing else. I find that pretty inexcusable in a place that calls itself a "lobster shop". "Captain's choice" was the usual collection of fried seafood, priced rather high in my opinion ($51 Canadian). Lots of people wanted a picture of their kids standing in front of the giant lobster sculpture out front, which was moderately amusing. Seemed like a pretty popular place, but we were not impressed. read more

Their lobsters are precooked and served cold. If you like they will warm them up but they do not steam them fresh. GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT

We stopped at this roadside place on the bay of Fundy and didn't know what to expect. The service was nice, the food was wonderful, and the view was unbeatable. read more

Nice spot to enjoy seafood at in pretty little Alma. Service and wait time was excellent. Fish, crackers, and scallops were very good. Doggy clams not so much. Loads of delicious French fries. Worth going to. read more

Stayed a night in Alma on a couples trip passing through to PEI. Had the Lobster roll, chowder, and the smoked salmon (smoked daily). After spending 48 hours in PEI, eating countless mussels, oysters, chowders, etc., the smoked salmon was the single best piece of food consumed the entire trip. Worth going out of your way to try it, and super reasonably priced. Chowder was also 10/10. Nice and thick. Lobster roll 7.5/10. (PS: Get the iced tea, its awesome). read more

Food was amazing highly recommend and if your heading to see hopewell I recommend going to hopewell in the morning then heading here to eat and then back to hopewell at 4 to walk the sea floor!!!! read more

Loved this place! I wanted to try everything, you pick your own lobster and they cook it the way you want them to. You can get it cold or hot with a butter sauce. It taste much better cold as the hot one can get over cooked. And the clams and oysters deep fried were amazing. They also smoke their own salmon, so we ordered that as an appetizer and it came with crackers. The servers were friendly and the atmosphere was like a small family run shop. There are lots of tables and water view picnic benches to eat at. read more

Great little find on our way from Hopewell Rocks to St. Andrews by the sea. We ordered lobster chowder scallops. All were excellent. The chowder was rich and full of lobster and other seafood. The lobster roll was a full 1/4 pound of meat on a delicious buttered roll. The scallops were maple bacon and done very well - tender and delicious. They also have a ton of kids options - for little ones that aren't into lobster ... yet :) Pro tip - they don't have a liquor licence but they told us we could just bring our own and drink it with our dinner on the patio. So perfect!! We will definitely be back! read more

I was so very disappointed and dissatisfied. After reading the good reviews I was expecting so much more and everything fell short. We are local to the Bay of Fundy so VERY accustomed to eating Lobster and what it should taste like (and I'm not even picky, it's my favourite food!). Firstly, they were out of steamed mussels, clams, cod, and snow crab. They said they would have more this evening, fine, at least they would be fresh. So we settled for 2 Lobster dinners. My partner inquired about the macaroni salad as she has an allergy to carrots and the response was "I don't think so, but we dont make it here". Sad day. Even if it was local I would have been happier. Our food arrived quickly. The minute I cracked open the first claw you could tell the lobster was not 1 and 1/2 lb as advertised. It looked small on the outside and then the meat took up maybe 1/3-1/2 of the shell size. The smell was off, not fresh smelling. I tasted it and it was so salty both my partner and I had a difficult time getting through our meal. As if each piece was coated in table salt. Horrible. Remember, I am used to Atlantic seafood and lobster is my favorite food. It was not eatable. I have never said that about lobster before, ever. The sides were equally as disappointing. My partner opted for garlic butter. This was raw garlic tossed into drawn butter. The butter did not taste of garlic unless you had the misfortune of getting a raw clump in your mouth that was potently acrid. The corn was shriveled and soggy, bending at the middle as if reheated after being stored/refrigerated. The rolls appeared homemade but were stale and crumbly. All in all, money aside, I could not eat here again. Maybe it was a bad day, as there are other great reviews. This experience was SO bad that we wouldn't even be tempted to try it again. Sigh. Disappointed is an understatement read more

Best lobster I had during my week trip across the east coast! It has a great covered patio, I went on a cold rainy day but it was surprisingly warm in their patio. and they have a cute little hand pump hand washing station. Walk to the back to the bathrooms you get to see many many lobster crates getting ready to be shipped. Service wasn't exceptional but it was fine. Food comes served on a plastic tray and you sit on picnic tables. its a no frills kind of place. There are a good number of other tourists though Great price for $25-$30 you get a whole 1.5 lb lobster, half a cob of corn, a large dinner bun and a choice of the side. GET THE SMOKED SALMON SIDE! its not the bright pink thinly sliced ones, it is a large chunk of meaty salmon filet, lots of smokey salty flavour it was amazing! I could have eaten that by itself and be happy. The lobster was slightly warmed but not overcooked, and it was meaty. My friend got their snow crab legs, it was a big portion and had lots of salty sea flavour again it was amazing. The seafood felt fresh there and would definitely come back again! read more

Alma Lobster Shop - Outside seating - Seafood Markets Near Me - Alma, New Brunswick

Location: Literally, right by the ocean. You can't ask for better than that. The place: It's a combination of shop and restaurant except you can't eat indoors. The back is stacked with boxes that presumably contain lobster(s) and other sea food - totally surprised me when I went to the bathroom and walked into what felt like a freezer! But it was pretty cool to see the giant 'bath' - I resisted the urge to go and see if there were any live lobster in there. The goods: I had the chowder and it was delicious and meaty! I had ordered a side of macaroni salad because I thought the chowder wouldn't satisfy me but I was wrong. I was full before I finished it. The salad was way too creamy for me, and bright orange - I'm not sure what kind of dressing was used... it was OK but very sweet. Service: OK Price point: A little on the high end for chowder - I think it was about $13. read more

We ordered a big lobster with big pincers, shrimp pasta and potato salad. The lobster is perfect! The ease with which we removed the meat suggests real freshness. The shrimp (on pasta) is real fresh too. The pasta part is a bit bland though, in spite of the oiliness. Love the garlic butter dip: sinfully oily but it really enhanced the tastes of everything we dipped in it, lobster & bread etc. Every bit as good as the lobster, the scenery rocks! We were here around 3pm low tide, mid July, beautiful weather, we'd be crazy if we ate in the shop. The sunshine and sea breeze made everything taste better. read more

My family and I got lost 5 years ago and stumbled upon lobster heaven at the Alma Lobster shop. We were back in the area again and knew it was a must-stop place. They have specialize in lobsters (both cooked and uncooked) but they have scallops and fish as well. Market price is listed on a chalkboard but all the weighed prices are written on the lobster claw. Everything is fresh, local and soooo delicious. We like buying the cooked ones and eating right on the picnic tables outside. They'll provide you with all the utensils and even offer to crack it for you (if you're a lazy butt). They also offer garlic butter and various other sauces for free. Mmmm. If you're not into lobster... I guess you can enjoy the souvenirs they have. (Tip! You're allowed picking up the lobsters (even the massive ones!) for photos. But remember, you break you buy) read more

The lobster here is amazing!!! The food tasted even better outside on a picnic table by the ocean with the sounds and smells of the waves crashing on the beach. The added touch of an outdoor hand washing station was very nice as well. I would highly recommend stopping by this place, even if it was just to see all the lobsters in the tanks in the back of the store. read more

We stopped here for dinner after our long hike through Fundy National Park. We split the lobster dinner and oh my gosh it was delicious!!! The food was soooooo fresh and delicious. The seating was all outdoor (some was under a tent and others right outside next to the water). Lobster dinner came with a 1.5 lb lobster, mussels, clams, corn, bread, coleslaw and smoked salmon. I think altogether it was about $50 ish? There was a choice of regular butter, lemon butter or garlic butter and we got the garlic one. Everything was so good and I would definitely come here again. If you walk through the back where the washroom is you can see their tanks of lobster. They even let me hold a 10 lb lobster to take a picture! Haha! You can buy cooked and uncooked lobster here too to bring back home. Definitely recommend! The only downside is all the flies around you while you're eating outside...but totally worth it! read more

We were on a 5,700 mile roadtrip thru the Canadian Maritimes, Maine, etc. We ate seafood and lobster in many of these locations. Hands down this was the best lobster and seafood anywhere on our trip. The lobster was fresh and tasty and cost a lot less than in Nova Scotia and Maine restaurants. The smoked salmon was so good we bought some more for the road before we left. The maple scallops, chowder, and everything else were amazing. And, again, everything cost less than elsewhere on our trip - much less. read more

Went to visit this place since it was recommended by the people at Hopewell Rock and was very satisfied with the choice! Pros -Service was great. The folk were very friendly. -Amazing food. The lobster was fresh and tasty. I recommend trying out the pasta they have. We ordered scallop pasta, lobster pasta, and salmon pasta and all of us left happy. -The area behind the restaurant is great for exploring, taking pics, and killing time while waiting for your food. -Prices are pretty cheap. Cons -The dining locations are only outside. Wasn't a problem for us but eating outside might not be liked by everyone. Also, if it's raining not sure where you can eat lol. -Wish the pasta servings were a bit bigger! Tasted delicious but finished quickly. Alma is pretty much a tourist city filled to the brim with restaurants, and Alma lobster shop is a perfect choice among all the competition. Also, if you enter the red door towards the washrooms you can see how the process everything. Very cool. read more

We stopped in after kayaking and exploring the area. We both had the 1 1/4 lb lobster special. I asked if it came with anything else. Just butter (5 different varieties). Frankly, that's all you need. We both added the potato salad which was homemade and delicious. We basically inhaled the lobster. It was damn good. read more

As a native New Englander, I am fussy about seafood. The fish and chips, as well as the fish tacos, were some of the best haddock I have tasted, so fresh with the perfect amount of breading. The fries were hot and well cooked. Prices were reasonable. I was able to go across the street to the brewery and get a beer as Alma Seafood is a BYOB restaurant. Beautiful bay views, friendly staff and a gorgeous sunny day made for a perfect meal. read more

We were on our way to PEI but we went out of our way to drive for some lobster based on the reviews I read. We ordered the lobster meal, razor clams, mussels, and lobster roll. The lobster was just okay; it was cold and very salty (definitely not something I would drive here for). The smoked salmon made in house was very good. The highlight of the meal was mussels and razor clams; those were quite good. The lobster roll was too salty. The meal was just okay for us. read more

It's been 8 months since I've experienced this yet I remember everything about it like it was yesterday. I thought I had had good lobster before. I thought so, so wrong! This lobster shack is serving lobsters right out of the waters of its shores, and it is by far the greatest lobster experience of life! Upon reading reviews, I thought it was really weird that they would cook the lobsters in advance and then serve them chilled. Turns out that that's the best way to have it. Cooked to perfection and then cooled on ice ensured that the lobster retained all of its juices and flavour. Mmm. Ripping into that thing was so gratifying; each piece was more delicious than the next. This place does it right. You get in. Choose a lobster at the counter. Grab a tray for it all and then head outside on the patio to make a mess. It's fantastic. read more

Stopped here for lunch prior to a hike based on the great reviews on Yelp! Staff were friendly - cutest doggie bouncing around the lobster traps outside! Had the lobster rolls which I found were really salty. True to other reviewers, not a lot of fluff (a lot of lobster meat) but the saltiness of the mixture was a bit too much. Initially I thought it was because of the salt water from the ocean but, I had bought lobsters off a fishing boat in Cape Breton (Ingonish, for $7/lbs) and steamed them...was not salty at all (WAS DELICIOUS). We stopped in here twice...the first time the lobster was $9.49/lbs (first week of June) and about a week later, the price jumped to $10.49/lbs. read more

For the first time in my life it was well worth the effort to poke out every morsel of meat from every little crevice in that dang armoured crustacean! And I also refrained from dipping every little chunk in that standard buttery sauce - it didn't need it in the slightest. Not sure how they did it - maybe it was the time of year (late July) maybe it was ancient mariner wisdom. If you kind of enjoy Lobster as it is don't eat here - it will ruin you. read more

Super friendly folk. We weren't intending on stopping in Alma, but we needed food, so we came by. I guess we asked a lot of questions for tourists. One of the guys at the counter let us hold and take pictures with their live lobsters. They had a 19lb one, and also a live blue one, if I recall correctly. He also let us into the back to see how they process their lobsters. What a treat! read more

I've came here once as a child and remembered it being amazing. I finally came back here in the summer of 2015 and the food never fails to live up to its expectations. The fresh lobsters are amazing and pre-cooked too. There are benches by the sea shore where you can dive right into your meal and the view is remarkable. Don't forget to try the corn and ice cream! MUST TRY!!! :) read more
