I spent a lot of my life working at a fried seafood joint in the suburbs – which has recently been converted to a sit down, Greek Restaurant – and they really did have the best fried clams and onion rings in the world. But because back in high school and college I was actually a healthy athlete, I pretty much never took advantage of the wonderful fried seafood I served each day.
Now that I don’t spend my weekends making tartar sauce, serving clams and scooping ice cream, I think it’s necessary to stop and enjoy the food that I watched so many enjoy back then.
Last Sunday was a beautiful day in Boston, so for lunch I couldn’t think of a better place than The Seaport Bar & Grille. I like this place because they have a more laid back, blue collar feel compared with the other fancier restaurants in the area. And, they have a roof deck that overlooks the harbor and of course, good seafood.
We enjoyed fried scallops.
And mussels.
I got a little sunburn sitting on the roof, but it was worth it.
What kind of food do you enjoy in the summer?
I went to town with Fried Seafood last week too when I was on the cape. I noticed that its the easiest food to take a picture of, because it ALWAYS looks delish!
i’ve never been there! looks yummy but probably not the best idea to read this before breakfast.
Summer foods: Soft serve (vanilla and choco twist with sprinkles)! or Polish Ice on Ocean City NJ boardwalk. Ooo Johnson’s caramel popcorn. Can you tell I miss sweets?
Oh YUMMY! That looks so good! I have not eaten anything out of the ordinary as try to eat great food all year round. But I would love a good East Coast crab feed!
We took your advice and tried Seaport Bar & Grille this afternoon and really enjoyed our lunch. Nothing like a basket of fish and chips! Thanks for the tip.
what food DON’T i enjoy during the summer : )
oh my gosh, i’m practically drooling, that sea food looks so delish! what i wouldn’t give to live so close to the ocean so i could partake much more frequently! i love ceviche, mexican food, margaritas, grilled everything (including fruit and veggies) and salads in the summer.
oh, sad realization…i think almost every time you take a picture of fried food or beer, i am sitting right behind it
