Lobster for Breakfast
Lobster Benedict for Breakfast at Fresh Catch

You haven't truly lived until you've savored lobster for breakfast, and with Lobster Benedict on the menu, Fresh Catch is an ideal place to scratch this indulgence off your bucket list.

When we were back in Foxborough later the same week for my daughter's Gillette Stadium debut cheering for the Patriots during the 2012 preseason opener, we stayed at the Marriott Courtyard Boston Foxborough (book direct) in Mansfield, just a short drive from Fresh Catch. I remembered seeing "Now Serving Breakfast" painted in the restaurant's window, so I asked my husband to call to check whether their breakfast menu featured lobster. The answer? "Of course!"

Once again, we over-ordered. But how could we resist trying the Lobster Benedict ($6.95 single) drizzled with Hollandaise? Or the Fresh Catch Omelet ($9.95) teeming with lobster meat, scallops, shrimp and cheese? Or my favorite: the Mariner Breakfast Sandwich ($8.95), a flaky grilled croissant filled with scrambled eggs, fresh Maine lobster and Hollandaise and served with home fries. Breakfast--like lunch and dinner--is surprisingly affordable at Fresh Catch, especially when you consider that the only thing I ate the rest of the day was a salad for dinner.
