You drive up, tell them how many lobsters you want and voila!
What a great way to turn this pandemic on its head. Sadly, the RI fisherman quickly felt the downfall of all the restaurant closures and so the state allowed the fishermen to sell directly to the public. They set it up drivethru style so you don't even have to get out of your car. You pull up to the next available fisherman and they had lobsters and crabs.
We went several times this summer and only missed out once, we went a bit too late and they had just sold out.
There is nothing quite like ordering lobsters and watching them pull them directly out of the ocean in front of you. Talk about fresh. The lobstermen said that its great since they are able to recoup some of their losses however the downside is that they have to now stay at the dock and sell their product slowly, whereas before, they would dock and unload and head home.
