NORTHSHOREMAG.COM 54 AUGUST 2020 and tasty craft cocktails in this long, narrow, hipster-grunge space that was once an alley. 41 Lafayette St., Salem, 978-594-4197, kokeshirestaurant.com R E A D E R S ' C H O I C E KOTO G R I LL & SUS H I SALEM Customers love the fiery Korean Beef Ramen: spicy pork bone broth topped with Korean kimchee, beef, egg, and vegetables at this rock-n-roll spot. 90 Washington St., Salem, 978-594-8681, kotogrillsushi.com Raw Bar E D I T O R S ' C H O I C E ISLAND CREEK OYSTER CO. BURLINGTON Everything is impeccably fresh and perfectly prepared at this seafood mecca. Of course there is a vast array of oysters on offer constantly, but we also love the creative crudo and ceviche, the littleneck clams and Cousin Mark's lobster, sourced in Maine from executive chef/partner Jeremy Sewall's relative. Splash out by topping your oysters with a bit of caviar, or go all-in with the shellfish platter for four, an astonishing tower of oysters, clams, shrimp cocktail, lobster tail, and delicious house-made sauces. 300 District Ave., Burlington, 781-761-6500, islandcreekoysterbar.com (Temporarily closed at press time.)

As with everything Modern Butcher sells, it starts with the animals. Cattle are pasture-raised within 150 miles of the North Shore, and butchered in-house. Then the top-round is rubbed with garlic and seasonings, and vacuum sealed to marinate overnight before a 12-hour sous vide cook to medium-rare perfection. From there, owners Lisa and Warren Means stick with beef three-way tradition: butter-griddled onion roll, James River barbeque sauce, mayonnaise, and cheese with a full half pound of thinly sliced beef. It's tough to beat. 226 Merrimac St., Newburyport, 978-465-6500, themodernbutchershop.com R E A D E R S ' C H O I C E (TI E) P O M O D O R I NEWBURYPORT When Pomodori opened its second location in the former Courtyard Roast Beef spot, locals wrung their hands. But this pizza and sandwich specialist opened strong with a classic roast beef that keeps people coming back. 192 State St., Newburyport, 978-255-1722, pomodorinbpt.com M O D E R N BUTC H E R NEWBURYPORT Romantic E D I T O R S ' C H O I C E DUC K WO RTH B I STROT GLOUCESTER Tucked on a quiet street across the harbor from downtown, PHOTOGRAPH BY BRIAN DEMELLO Island Creek Oyster in Burlington
