LobsterCraft, which has two full-service lobster-roll trucks offering seafood-on-wheels in Connecticut, New York and parts of Rhode Island, now has an outlet on a firm foundation at 1891 Post Road in Fairfield. A ribbon cutting marked the opening of the new location and also served as an opportunity for the Fairfield Chamber of Commerce to welcome LobsterCraft as a new member.
LobsterCraft was founded in 2012 by Capt. Mike Harden. He”™s not only a licensed lobster fisherman, but a Coast Guard captain as well. In 2006, Harden bought his 38-foot lobster boat, the Jennifer Lynn. The boat was handmade in Maine and, we”™re told, has no trouble with the varied weather and sea conditions encountered on the Long Island Sound.
Harden”™s passion for the sound and ocean evolved into a business after friends asked if he could catch, cook and prepare lobster for them.
After the ribbon cutting he said, “We are so happy to have found a place in the shoreline community of Fairfield, to serve our fresh-caught lobster, lobster rolls and other seafood items to local residents and those living in surrounding towns. I am overwhelmed at the response and welcome I have received, and everyone has been so helpful.”
