Make the short walk to Hingham Harbor, and you'll be handsomely rewarded with Hingham Lobster Pound, located less than a mile off the downtown stretch. Fried clams, fish sandwiches, onion rings, and lobster rolls are the simple menu's go-to items, and they don't disappoint. If the weather's mild enough, grab your takeout order, select a patch of grass by the water, and savor the taste of the sea. (The eatery closes for the season starting Christmas Eve.)
