A seafood shack and fish market in the southern suburbs of Boston is shutting down after more than 30 years in business.
According to a source, the Lobster Barn in Abington is closing its doors, with a note on the website of the Hancock Street spot saying that "It's with a heavy heart the Lobster Barn will be closing September 18th. We would like to thank our loyal customers for supporting us over the years. Thank you!" No reason has been given for its closure, nor is it known what might become of the space; as soon as we find out more, we will post an update.
The Lobster Barn, which first opened back in 1991, is known for its classic New England seafood dishes along with retail seafood offerings to cook at home.
The address for the Lobster Barn is 996 Hancock Street, Abington, MA, 02351. Its website can be found at https://www.lobsterbarn.net/
