The best lobster rolls in Boston?

The Urban Mechanic gladly pays the tunnel tolls to get to Belle Isle Seafood in East Boston, adds:
... While locals may not give much thought to the ignorance of their fellow Hubsters on the mainland, any half-serious, self-respecting foodie in Boston should pay serious attention to this neighborhood. Seriously! ...

belle isle is great
If you have never been there, you are missing out on a winner. My personal favorite is the baked stuffed haddock. It's 11 or 12 bucks for the dinner version, but it is more than most could finish.
Blue Line to Bus 712/3 to Belle Island Seafood
Winthrop runs a bus from Orient Heights right past Belle Island Seafood.

Interesting. But he spelled lobster wrong.
Love Belle Isle
We just ate from there last night...nothing like having some great fish while watching the planes land overhead.
You can also avoid the tolls by going down 16 towards Everette. It isn't that far from Medford/Somerville at all.
