The other day my wife and I decided that we really wanted some seafood. So of course, we head to the nearest Red Lobster.
I was never more disappointed in food that I was there. I got a meal that had a Maine lobster tail, scallops, and shrimp. Nothing tasted any different than the other. Everything had probably been taken out of the freezer, then smothered in some kind of butter sauce. There wasn’t even butter for me to dip my lobster in. Plus when I asked for malt vinegar for my fries, the waitress looked at me like I was stupid.
So, since our experience at Red Lobster was less than satisfactory, we decided to go get some real seafood. At the last minute, we called around, and got a cabin at a camp in Portsmouth Rhode Island.
So I’m here in Rhode Island, getting ready to head over to Newport, and the beach, and anything else I feel like doing for the next week.
Since this is a blog about the beach, I’ll keep you updated on places to eat, and things to do in Newport, Rhode Island.
Last night, we were going for dinner, and everywhere in Newport was packed. Even the small places that no tourists are supposed to know about (I’m not a tourist as I practically grew up here). So we went to Portsmouth and stopped at a little diner called Reidy’s. My wife wasn’t sure because it didn’t really fit in with everything else around, but they make some good food. By the way, they take cash only. It’s just that small, family, hometown place, not meant for tourists. Which usually means the food is better.
Anyway, off to the beach.
