She promptly grabbed a pot from behind the counter, telling us that we could just drop it by when we were finished with it. Who does that?!! treated us as if we were her family. We returned the pot the next day. We are looking forward to coming back next year. We will definitely be coming to Parsons for our lobster. It was a great part of our family Vacay. Also the prices were great.

In short, they are the agent/broker for 300+ local fishermen...selling the freshest catch hauled in daily to the public. They always have a healthy inventory of different seafood and are open all year, which is exceptionally great for off-season travelers like me. Staff are exceptionally friendly and prices are fair. Their sales can also get you product for really cheap (for example, crab is currently 10 lbs / $20 yesterday). Another cool fact is that rare lobsters do end up here once in a while. They are obviously not for sale and will be sent to a lobster "sanctuary" that does not involve a warm bath. There was a blue lobster (1 in 2 million) and two Calico lobsters (1 in 30 million) in one of the holding tanks yesterday. This is something you won't have the opportunity to see at most (if not all) seafood markets.

It's a lobster pier, not a restaurant so be sure you have a place to cook it at home. $6.50/lb for hardshell under 2lbs and $7/lb for hardshell 2lbs+. Jeffrey Rich is a 4th generation lobsterman and the great great grandson of founder Charles Henry "Charlie" Rich. Maurice Sr (pronounced Morris) inherited the business from Charlie and his son Maurice (Mo Jr, may he rest in peace) inherited from him. Stop by, say hello to Jeffrey and buy some of the best lobster you'll ever eat for a fraction of the price other lobster piers are offering in the area. They ship to you too so call them and place an order if you're not nearby. It's off the beaten path, but you'll pass some gorgeous scenery on beautiful winding Seawall Rd on your way there. You can try stacking rocks on the beach you'll passby, but don't take any because you'll get fined or arrested by a park ranger. Thanks C.H. Rich for the yummy grub.

Getting cheese sliced to order by weight at a real counter ensures that you will be getting the real thing, that you like because you have the option to taste it, it ensures the cheese counter will take you through a tasting journey until you find something ideal, and hopefully a little bit of quips and information about each cheese along the way. I can't think of anywhere else I would rather shop for cheese, often precut preweighed and suffocating and it's little plastic jackets. Bottom line it is morally superior to buying cheese from a bin. So let start of this little story by stating the facts 1.) I know cheese. 2.) I love cheese. One of the cheeses I bought from here was spoilt suffering from a particularly bad case of rind rot that was not visually apparent-- only to the tounge. It was what I like to call a tongue piercer but not in a good way. I was wondering why my guests winced after taking a taste, looking puzzled and they politely tried to swallow and get the taste out of their mouths, eyes darting about. "You don't like cheddar with chives? Ohh! it's one of my favorite." *takes a bite* Hooo wee. Boy was it overly funked. Mouth stinging over ammoniatedly funky and not for the faint of heart. Okay so throw it in the chuck it bucket, chalk it up to whatever. But then we went to unwrap the pate well that piece was really past its prime, born just before Zsa Zsa Gabor all glint, grey, covered in a white penicillin like and... GULP green mold. As much as I wanted to cut off the oddly colored growths, to not let it go to waste, I didn't have the heart. 10 years ago? I would not have bat an eye. I would have cut off the nasty and gone to town or at least shared it with my pet cat. God I'm getting old and boring. Hence this Yelp review. Anyway back to the story! The guests were here. Thankfully I had some odds and ends in the cheese drawer to drag out and dust off. And I kid you not I produced a. processed summer salami to swoop in & stand in as a body double for the pate and pair with the pickles and mustard. Crisis averted! Other two cheeses were however perfect, D'affinois in peak ripeness and thrilled they stock moliterno al tartufo. So nice to get these cheeses up here! The d'affinois was smooth like a Donna summer record and the moliterno tasted as if I were there in Sardinia licking lapping at the ocean waves. Batting two out of two makes me wonder what else is lurking in the case, or did I just get unlucky? I'll give them a call and I'll return for sure. Again I stress EXCELLENT selection wonderful employees. But until they work out product dating and storage, I suggest you might ask to sample the cheeses before purchasing (just in case!) and committing-- even one you've had before. Cheeses vary through out the year and the seller importer and purveyor depending on how and how long they're stored/transported. Now here's the best part. I called them and they immediately offered a refund taking my word for this even after I offered to bring in the product to show. Woman on the phone was super sweet. Can't wait to go back and patronize this business again. Happy cheese eating!
