Used to be that when I wanted good seafood, I'd head toward Gloucester or Ipswich or Salisbury, and if I wanted lobster, it was York or Kittery in Maine. But for the last few years there's been a great seafood restaurant right here in Dracut. Ya, in Dracut! C&C is in the Bridgewood Plaza on Rte. 38 (Bridge Street). They have a live lobster pound with crustaceans starting at 1 pound up to monster 6- and 7-pounders, sometimes bigger! And if you don't know how or don't have the facility to cook them yourself, they'll do it for no charge! Their lobster rolls are fantastic and rival anything you get at the Raw Bar on the Cape or any of those other places 'the Phantom' recommends. Plus, the rolls come with fries, onion rings, or rice. C&C has a full fried and baked seafood menu. The chowda is some of the best anywhere, and I've had chowder everywhere up and down the New England coast. The original owner recently sold the restaurant, but he trained the new owners and they've kept everything, including the quality, virtually the same as before. Check it out!

Do you think you need to drive out to Cape Ann or Cape Cod for delicious, fresh seafood? Think again! C & C Lobster Pound And Chowda House is located on Rt 38 in Dracut in the Bridgewood Plaza. They have an excellent selection of raw seafood as well as dinner/lunch selections. The food is extremely fresh and reasonably priced. The staff is helpful. Don't be fooled by the limited selection in the cases when you enter....there is more for you to choose from, but it is kept in the back coolers. There are plenty of signs listing the choices, and also menus are printed to take home. I haven't tried everything on the menu, but what I have had is excellent. The raw seafood that I've gotten from them was of a very good quality, and I will return to them for all my seafood needs!
