The dockside story

From New England harbors to Northern Virginia curbsides

Ned started the Mollusk Mobile with a simple craving: sweet Maine lobster rolls, crispy fried clams, and authentic coastal comfort food, served fresh without an eight-hour road trip north. Ned's Mollusk Mobile is the mobile version of Ned's New England Deck, bringing our signature dockside recipes directly to your neighborhood.

Today, the Mollusk Mobile serves Fairfax County, Loudoun County, Arlington, Alexandria, Fauquier County, Virginia, Washington DC, and Southern Maryland. Every roll is stuffed generously into a buttered split-top bun, paired with piping-hot coastal sides, and handed straight to you with casual dock shack warmth.

The truck is available for food festivals, backyard events, and private catering throughout the region.
