I went to the Summer Shack last night (Jasper White's Summer Shack is the full name I believe). There's also one downtown somewhere, but we went to the one near Alewife. It's such a random spot for a restaurant but there it is and it's an easy stop off point after swimming at Walden.
I have recently taken a liking to oysters, so we got some Wellfleets. Jasper's has a pretty wide selection of oysters. I used to be intimidated by the whole oyster thing, but they are really quite tasty. Salty poison goodness. Refreshing. NOT chewy as one might expect. And they shouldn't taste like fish, but instead like a nice mouth of sea with a dash of cocktail sauce or hot sauce (whichever you prefer).
The point of this post is that I also got a lobster roll and I must say that even though the atmosphere of the Summer Shack is kinda campy, their seafood is pretty great. THEIR lobster roll came on a foot long bun, unlike the one Reena and I had. It also did NOT have chunks of losbster that were bigger than my mouth but bit-size chunks. The roll was lightly toasted. Good amounts of mayo and some celery. Also more expensive than the prior lobster roll, but perhaps this is a case of "you get what you pay for". I really do love lobster roll season. There is nothing quite like a hot summer day and having fresh seafood with a cold beverage after a relaxing swim.

mmmm oysters. had them in rochester with a side of wasabi roe. tote yum. not slimy. have been craving them ever since.
Also had oysters last week! I had one at Hi Life (where I had my amazing cheeseburger) with my mom. She ordered them, I tried them. Decided with enough hot sauce they are not so bad. Have you had bbq'd oysters? I did in the SF area. Pretty freakin good.
