Some places become restaurants. Others become part of the city. Back in 1925, James Hook and his three sons started hauling fresh lobster catches from Maine and Canada into Boston’s waterfront, selling directly to local restaurants from a small operation on Atlantic Avenue. Over the next century, that family business grew into James Hook & Co., becoming one of Boston’s most recognizable seafood institutions while still staying family-run through four generations. Today, jameshooklobster ships more than 50,000 pounds of lobster daily across the country, but you can still stop by the waterfront at 440 Atlantic Ave and experience the spot where it all started. Oh, and make sure you arrive hungry. #mustdoboston #bostonseafood #jameshookpartner #jameshooklobster #bostonfood
