Once a bait shop, Hingham Lobster Pound is now a takeout clam shack that has Nantasket Beach goers swerving off 3A for their breaded fried clams. Many seafood specialists find flour to be a cheaper, lighter alternative, but the Pound spares no expense to create a 2nd skin of blistering crunch over each briny full-bellied clam. The onion rings crackle with the same fried coating, and the banana fritters melt in your mouth. Nostalgic Pictures of Hingham and Nantasket cover the ordering galley, and customers can quiz themselves with Trivial Pursuit cards while waiting. Call ahead two hours for steamed lobster.
