About James Hook & Co.

James Hook & Co. began in 1925, when James Hook and his three sons started trucking lobsters from Maine and Canada to Boston's fish piers. The business still sits at the corner of Atlantic Avenue and Northern Avenue and is run by the third generation of the Hook family. Its restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating and a menu of New England classics: a regular lobster roll is $35.99, clam chowder is $10.99 and a hot dog is $7.99. A seafood market in the same building sells fresh fish and shellfish.
