OH i forgot to mention the lobster.
We have maine lobster here in new england. Alaska lobster is marketed as "Maine" Lobster, but they are not from Maine. They are from Canada. Canadian lobsters and Maine lobsters are the same species, but they taste completely different. I've grown up eating lobsters here and when I had an Alaskan "Maine" lobster, i was like naw naw.
You fish. You know docks. Go to a dock (Best bet is north shore and anywhere north of it) and find a lobster pot or crab pot boat. Try to make it before they cash out with their vendors and you can get a cooler full at wholesale cost depending if you can swing it with the cap. some of the older salties would rather sell to you, but the newer vessels won't I noticed.
Or you can buy them at any market for decent prices. i think its around 8 bucks for chickens and 9-12 for selects. As far as restaurants go, I wouldn't know for seafood. I don't eat seafood in restaurants. Too risky for me. I'd rather dig up clams and oyesters in low tide and dive for my own lobsters then let some 20 year old moron prepare my food.
--edit--
I had my boat docked in point judith, narraganset, rhode island for a while. thats somewhat close to Connecticut, closer then the north shore and the maine places for lobster. i had luck with the docks down there trying to get lobsters for lobster bakes back in the day. havnt tried in 10 years or so tho.
