The Boardwalk Lobster Bisque
Crafted from scratch right here in our Bisque Kitchen on Put-in-Bay, our Lobster Bisque is a prized family recipe made in small batches. Each batch contains 36 lobsters. Enjoy this local favorite served in a cup or a sourdough bread bowl. Come taste the tradition at The Boardwalk!
“I’ve had lobster bisque on both coasts, Michigan, and various other places. In my humble opinion, nothing beats the Boardwalk lobster bisque.”
