Waterman's Lobster Co, Potts Point

On my search for the best lobster rolls in Sydney, I ventured to Waterman's Lobster Co in Potts Point. My friend and I were seated on one of the outside tables,  nabbing one of the last remaining tables on a busy Satusrday afternoon.

We started with the New England Clam Chowder which was packed full of flavours from the sea. The chowder was creamy and rich and I particularly enjoyed the meaty clams and the crunchy, buttery croutons.

New England Clam Chowder with Bacon and Croutons $12

The White anchovies with shaved beetroot looked spectacular on the plate. The crispy slices of differently coloured beetroot were artfully arranged, interspersed with the cured anchovies which had a great intensity of flavour. 

White anchovies with raw shaved beetroot $8

And onto the lobster rolls! The 'Connecticut' style lobster roll came on a buttery toasted brioche roll, which was heavenly - crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. The lobster meat has a subtle sweetness and there was a decent serving (knowing how expensive this is in Australia, it can't compare to the much bigger portions you get in America).

The 'Maine' lobster roll came with tangy Mayo and celery, which still allowed the lobster to shine. I found it hard to pick my preferred version, but in the end, I think the buttery roll of the 'Connecticut' style won me over. You can choose to add a side of crunchy fries (sprinkled with paprika) or pickles to the dish, both of which are great additions.

Lobster Roll - 'Connecticut style' with warm butter $18, with Fries $2

Lobster Roll - 'Maine style' with mayo and celery $18 with pickles $1

Good atmosphere and friendly service, I will no doubt be back to get my lobster fix.
