It’s not a trap—Boston restaurants are taking a crack at signature New England seafood with lobster dishes this Restaurant Week. You can usher in the tastes of summer early with classic (or caviar-studded, if you’re feeling fancy) butter-poached lobster. No buns here but options abound from grilled seafood salad to surf and turf, and beyond.
