We celebrated Easter a few days early so that we could celebrate with Amanda, Steve and our grandkids before they had to leave back to N.Y. So when Easter Sunday rolled around we decided to take a ride to the coast and grab a bite to eat at Ray’s Lobster Pound and enjoy the day at the beach with some delicious seafood!
It also happened to be our dog Naz’s gotcha day so of course we had our little guy with us, he enjoyed a couple of French fries on his special day!

Ok, let’s get to the food! Ray’s Lobster Pound is located at 1677 ocean Blvd in Rye N.H. They have your typical fried and baked seafood along with plenty of lobster choices as you would expect. appetizer’s including fried calamari, coconut shrimp and crab baked stuffed mushrooms to just name a couple. They have a couple different kinds of chowder, seafood rolls, combo plates and salads. They also have a full bar if you eat in. We decided to get take out and go just down the road to a small beach and enjoy our lunch there.
Jim had the fish sandwich with French fries ($22.00) the sandwich was absolutely huge! It was crispy and tender all at the same time. Jim thoroughly enjoyed his sandwich and happily shared his crispy fries with our little guy Naz!
I opted for the combination plate. ($30.00) I had fried scallops and calamari along with onion rings. This also came with coleslaw. It was a lot of food. The batter on the scallops was so light and crispy, the inside was incredibly tender and sweet. Those scallops were phenomenal. The calamari was crispy with a slightly heavier batter but so good! Calamari can be hit or miss but each bite of these were just right! The onion rings had a light batter, thinly sliced , crispy and tender. These were one of the better onion rings I have had.
Needless to say we were very pleased with our lunch and the view we had!
We highly recommend Ray’s Lobster Pound. They also ship live lobsters and have clam bakes on and off site!
If you are traveling through keep an eye out for Ray’s Lobster Pound!
Enjoy!
