I like Yankee Lobster if you want a lobster shack-ish experience that's not James Hook. And they offer both hot and cold versions.
I had forgotten all about Yankee Lobster, thanks! I'm not crazy about the Seaport generally, but it might be worth a trek down there for a hot roll. I don't think Hook has a hot version?
We'll definitely hit up Neptune, as well. I know to go at an off hour, like 3 in the afternoon or so. Their oyster selection is usually one of the best, and I love their Johnny Cake.
