| - This is a pretty decent place for fish and chips and other fried seafood delights, especially if you don't feel like going into a bar/pub for some. I had a groupon so I stopped in one late afternoon after work on my way home, and did a pick up order. They were very friendly both on the phone and in person when I went in.
I got the super combo which consisted of a bit of everything: 1 fish, 2 shrimp, 2 scallops, 2 oysters, fries and some coleslaw. However, I'm pretty sure I got a lot more than just what was listed. I also had to try their New England Clam Chowder because, really, who wouldn't want to try fresh New England Clam Chowder from a fish and chips shop?
Everything was cooked well and tasted pretty good. I know this place is all gluten-free, which is nice for those with gluten allergies or intolerances, but I'm pretty sure gluten is key to a good frying batter. The seafood itself was tasty, and I think the oysters went best with the gluten-free batter, but there was just something off about the way the fried parts tasted on my food. The fries were tasty, as they were seasoned with the special house seasoning, and the coleslaw was okay, but nothing to write home about.
I think the best part of my meal was the chowder. It was by far the best New England clam chowder I've had in town, and is the closest to the way I've had it on the eastern seaboard when I vacationed there some years ago. It wasn't too thick, and had lots of clam and potato parts. I love New England clam chowder and I would go back just for a big bowl of that stuff by itself. I kind of just wished I had some good bread to go with it, but the soup definitely stands on it's own.
