Meal comes with a dozen oysters hand-harvested locally from Long Cove Sea Farm. Our steamed seafood comes straight from working fishermen, caught fresh that very same day. Take in the view from our picnic tables, lining the commercial waterfront. Burnt Cove Boil is located on the grounds of Fifield Lobster Co., family-owned since 1940. You may catch a glimpse of boats unloading their haul, seals chasing fish through the cove, or a great blue heron perched on rocks. Our point is also home to some of Stonington’s most magnificent sunsets. Donated by Burnt Cove Boil & Long Cove Sea Farm LLC |
