    A lady walked into seafood restaurant and sat down. When the waiter came over she asked if they served crabs. “ why yes “ the waiter answered, we serve anyone, we don’t judge.” Love you guys. Sending blessings.

    Again I just knew Carly was getting the clam chowder and the clam chowder connoisseur says it's not world famous to her! Like y'all I can appreciate her in depth and honest review and I agree if it lacks potatoes then that would be a bummer I think an equal amount of meat and potatoes would be better but it still looked delicious and I'd give it a try if it were offered to me! Also your shrimp looked good but I'd have to have more than that to fill me up at least 10 pieces lol and the fried oysters looked good, never had em but I'd give em a try! Y'all rock Funseekers and thanks for sharing as always!

      You know Carly is all about some clam chowder. She definitely didn't think it was the best in the world. David did really like it. The shrimp was delicious but the portion size was small. Places will give you larger portions of fries to cover of the entre size. That is why I made sure to count the shrimp for the viewers. Same thing for David's oysters. But we did enjoy the taste of the food. Thanks for watching and commenting.

    As a lifelong resident of Massachusetts, I agree with Carly. Any seafood restaurant can fry a shrimp or clam but chowder is an art form. If you ever get up here you have to take her to the Clambox in Ipswich, MA for chowder that can’t be beat

    Excellent review. Proves my point on almost any place that finds itself claiming to be "(Whatever) best". Not only is it usually not the "best", but tacks on a "premium" for the term. Either in price or quantity. Sometimes both. As is apparently the case here. TNX for being so value-focused. Reminds me of a quote by Henry Royce that I had hanging in a frame on my office wall. "The Quality Is Remembered Long After The Price Is Forgotten". With a restaurant meal, the quantity of the portions served is an integral part of the quality. God Bless!

      Thanks John! We try to be honest with our reviews. As expensive as everything is these days it is so important to be aware of the value. I think we owe it to our subscribers to mention the portion size. The food was good and it's up to the viewer to decide if it is a good deal for them. Thanks so much for watching!

He spoke fluent French, German, Italian, Spanish, Russian, and Arabic. When his last enlistment ended in May 1950, the Army dangled a serious bonus. Plus being in the 1952 Olympics. He told me his response was, that he was "tired of fighting in wars and cleaning-up the mess afterwards." And, we recall what happened in June 1950... God Bless...

I will agree with you and David that the entrees were pretty skimpy, especially considering the price of seafood. I will say that the food did look quite appealing !
