The fried seafood is not greasy at all, but somehow perfectly retains all the tasty goodness that we&#8217;d expect in a dish like this. We paid $46.00 (plus a good serving of fresh lobster meat for an additional $6.00). The market price can change the price of these types of seafood on a regular basis, but we found that this one dish served three hungry people quite well. So broken down, the seafood platter cost, for us, a little over $15.00 per person. That&#8217;s why we&#8217;ve included this meal in our Thrifty New England Traveler blog!<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Evelyn&#8217;s goes way beyond just the seafood platter.
