| - This just happened today and I needed to rave about it (just a little) because you know, that's what you do when something amazing happens.
Following an eventful morning working from the Kerr st Cafe, I went with my dining companion for a short walk to see what other eats we could dig up along the Kerr Village aside from Stoney's (still got mad love for Stoney's... but I needed something new). Ali (GTA's new Marketing Assistant) said she had heard that an old seafood store had recently begun to double as a lunch spot, offering a menu of made to order seafood faves in addition to their cooler filled with fish you could take home to prepare to your liking.
It's a humble shop, nothing fancy, simple tables, simple chairs, and an eclectic array of seafaring knick knacks and decor to make the place feel warm. Don't go in expecting a Red Lobster, this is first and foremost a specialty fish shop which offers some places to sit while you enjoy some freshly cooked fare - so basically, don't be a jerk and take a star away because it's paper napkins and seafood and not white glove service - I'm just sayin'.
To the food now... Egad, what a menu! Lobster. On. Everything! See the pictures, but from a Gooey Lobster grilled cheese, to a classic lobster roll to lobster bisque and lobster this and lobster that, I was in maritime heaven! Add to the line up of lobster faves, classics like clam chowder, and traditional fish and chips - I was as happy as a clam you might say!
Much to our glee we discovered that today ALSO just so happened to be buck-a-shuck Oyster day. Seriously? So we shared a dozen (or so). We both went for the Lobster rolls because... lobster rolls you guys!
The roll was magnificent, a little less mayo, exactly as I liked it (too many times places will charge you big $$ for less Lobster and more filler - celery, dill, mayo, etc). These buns were toasted and buttery and jam packed with tons of lobster - amazing! I decided to forego the salad on the side when I found out that they fresh cut and fresh cook their fries (thick cut too). They were amazing, had a little seasoning on them and kept their crunch even after I doused them in salt and malt vinegar! Yum - still drooling!
The bill was a tad higher than I would normally spend on a lunch, but heck for lobster and oysters on the cheap, I would have gladly paid even more if asked. Everything was amazing and I was SO happy to discover this hidden aspect of this little local gem!
Eatcrest Out!
