joethefoodie Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 A couple of young 'uns in our family (she is Significant Eater's oldest, and hence first, niece) just had to open a general-store-cum-sandwich shop in Provincetown last summer. After living in Gowanus/Park Slope for the previous 5-6 years. He managed Court St. Grocers; she wrote about food stuff for Huff Po. They love the Cape. They got married on the Cape, in Truro. Going to their wedding was my first ever visit to the Cape. His family's been New Englanders/Cape Cod people for a long time. As a matter of fact, his last name is among the names that are listed on the Mayflower. The Mayflower, as you all know, landed in Provincetown Harbor. Two years ago, we visited (my 2nd ever visit) and stayed at his dad and stepmom's house in Chatham. His dad, retired, now captains a small charter fishing boat, and that was my first time catching striped bass. I blogged...Labor Day's Ovah. We wanted to make sure they'd ironed out all issues, so we only waited a year and then visited last week for 3 days and nights. Since I think it gets really crazy in July and August, our trips in June and September were perfectly timed. I'm blogging again...

joethefoodie Posted June 2, 2016 Author Share Posted June 2, 2016 My buddy Jack, who helped me land my first (and 2nd, and 3rd, and 4th) striped bass, went chasing tuna off Chatham yesterday... Not a bad fish. We're heading up to Provincetown on Sunday for 4 days; won't be doing any fishing though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rail Paul Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 That's a nice looking fish. Lots of good eating. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lippy Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 We'll be in Wellfleet for a week beginning Saturday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joethefoodie Posted June 3, 2016 Author Share Posted June 3, 2016 That's a nice looking fish. Lots of good eating. Evidently, there's much tuna right now. Was talking to a friend who does a lot of surf fishing off Long Island, and he's dying to get up to Chatham to get out into the ocean. We'll be in Wellfleet for a week beginning Saturday. Excellent. Maybe we'll run into you at Mac's on the Pier; we like to stop for a lobster roll or two (and maybe some fried scallops or bellies) on the drive out... We all agree that the lettuce is superfluous; the lobster is just fine. And the view from our room in Provincetown (The Red Inn) isn't bad either... And when the tide goes out...

Lippy Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 We like the lobster roll at PJ's in Wellfleet and the fried clams at Arnold's in Eastham. I've been thinking about both all week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, we'll probably have dinner one night at PJs. Have you been to the fancy restaurant in Wellfleet - Ceraldi? We went last time, and liked it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lippy Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 We were interested, but the last time we were in Wellfleet, it had already closed for the season, I think. Maybe we'll try again, although on the Cape., I usually prefere to keep t simple. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joethefoodie Posted June 4, 2016 Author Share Posted June 4, 2016 Agreed about keeping it simple; we thought in the chef's use of whatever local stuff he had, he did a good job. It's pretty casual for a fancified place. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve R. Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 "And the view from our room in Provincetown (The Red Inn) isn't bad either…" How's the food there these days? Are they even serving dinner? The previous owners (changed hands must be 7-8 years now?) ran a very nice restaurant there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, the restaurant still serves dinner, brunch on weekends, etc. We didn't try it for any full meals, but we liked the bar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

joethefoodie Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 Here was our first stop on the way to Provincetown... Blustery, chilly, rainy day. Perfect for me. And for these... The lobster on the lobster roll is wonderful. Why they use lettuce is beyond me. And just a small order of clam strips, since I didn't feel like bellies yesterday for lunch. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SLBunge Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Bought some really nice striped bass at the Mac's at the Wellfleet town pier one weekend about 10 years ago. Grilled it over the fire at the Nickerson State Park campground. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
