Oyster House celebrates two years with half-price(ish) lobster rolls

Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday, dear Oyster House, now give me a goddamn lobster roll. 

That’s exactly what owner Sam Mink is doing on the seafood house's (1516 Sansom St.) second birthday, Wed., June 15. The pound-and-a-half signature lobster rolls (muy autentico on J.J. Nissen top-split rolls) that normally fetch $26 will be sold wrapped to go for just $15 from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Could this be practice for a mobile operation, a la Brooklyn's Red Hook Lobster Pound? We can only hope.

    Is this deal to-go only? Do you have to show up, order, and roll out with your delicious cheap lobster roll in hand or can you call ahead? So many anxious questions, nothing must keep me from stuffing my face with a premature taste of home a month before my vacation! BTW, in Maine these babies go for $10 a pop on the reg at stands on the side of the road.

    whiterose1713: They'll be selling the lobster rolls street-side, the same way they've done clam chowder in the past. You can either walk up to the sidewalk table or can you sit in the dining room and order it for the same price.
