| - Well it was almost 100F, so what better thing to do then to walk 45 minutes Rodney's Oyster House! Gotta love being a visitor...lol
So we start walking here and I'm thinking...damn this place is far...I thought they said it was like 10 min (we went to the wrong location...thank you Google Maps for only showing the further location).
Anyway, we finally get there and it seems to be a fairly popular place with simple, no-nonsense decor...I was told it was a boat...hmmm. My colleague and I were very lucky in that there were just 2 of us, so we didn't have to wait, although the hostess was surprised we didn't have a reservation (I suggest you make one, especially with a larger group).
We get seated and get the menu. Now...let me just say I love crab and I had seen crab cakes on the website and I was so ready to order them...not on the menu! I tell the waitress, and she said..sorry, we only have those as a special...sucked!!
But what did she do to cheer me up? She brought out a plate of smoked salmon with horseradish dipping sauce...AWESOME...and so sweet.
My colleague ordered a beer and ordered the ice tea..it was FANTASTIC - ginger, honey, and some other secret spices mama (the 85 year old woman that still works in the kitchen!) adds to the batch.
For food....we were both far from disappointed!
1 cup of creamy New England Clam Chowder...a huge hit (he was licking the bowl).
1 plate of fried oysters...we were not aware that they are giant oysters, and were concerned about what steroids those clams were on...Either way...DELISH fried goodness.
1 plate of 1/2 Jerk Shrimp and 1/2 Pasta with Scallops...perfectly cooked, tender and so well paired.
Great stuff...we enjoyed ourselves, the food and the service..GO HERE!!!
