As
a
displaced
New
Englander
one
is
always
in
search
of
good
ole’
hometown
seafood.
And
to
date
one
has
been
woefully
disappointed.
The
first
clue
lies
with
“white
chowder”.
Interesting
descriptive
choice
that.
Not
“clam
chowder”,
nor
“fish
chowder”,
but
“white
chowder”,
though
this
could
be
helpful
IF
Manhattan
clam
chowder
(tomato
based
&
hence
red),
was
on
offer,
which
it
is
not.
My
partner
got
the
whole
belly
clams,
and
I
opted
for
the
fish
&
chips
(&
subbed
fries
for
onion
rings).
The
whole
belly
clams
were
small
as
were
the
portions,
&
the
fries
greasy.
The
fried
fish
though
is
the
real
star
of
this
commentary.
It
is
hands
down
the
worst
fried
fish
that
has
ever
been
offered
to
me.
A
pathetic
cut
of
fish,
bland
&
heavily
battered
in
what
is
the
“British”
style
of
batter,
most
definitely
not
the
“New
England”
style
which
is
much
lighter,
tastier,
&
flakier.
If
blindfolded
one
would
not
be
able
to
distinguish
between
the
fried
fish
or
the
fried
onion
rings.
One
would
be
better
off
getting
a
fillet
o’
fish
from
your
favorite
fast
food
restaurant,
and
that’s
saying
something.
I
was
quite
surprised
to
learn
that
the
owners
were
from
Rhode
Island.
I
have
eaten
seafood
from
Provincetown
to
Bar
Harbor,
and
this
fare
comes
nowhere
close.
It’s
disgraceful
to
call
this
“New
England”
style
seafood.
On
a
brighter
note,
the
staff
were
very
friendly
&
attentive.
Give
this
place
a
pass.
