  1. For our last lunch we went to the Beachcomber http://www.thebeachcomber.com This is the most famous restaurant in Wellfleet, partially for the music and bar scene.  We always go at lunch which is crazy enough.  I am too old to deal with the shenanigans at night.  The beach was not so welcoming on this day

    We opted to stay up top of the dune.  It was cold enough to warrant some clam chowder

    My nephew loves this restaurant because they fry their fries in a separate fryer, so he can eat them

    I also had a fried clam roll.  Whole bellies of course

    That's it for now.  I'll be back out there for 10 days next month and have some new places I want to try.  I'll post about them here.

  2.  A couple more updates.  The day we went to Provincetown was HOT, so we decided not to go into town.  Instead, we had lunch at Mac's Fish House, which is about a mile away from the center of town.  https://www.macsseafood.com/restaurants/macs-provincetown  My niece is a sushi hound, so she ordered many of the same things I showed in the Mac's Shack post.  We also ordered a tempura fried spicy tuna stuffed avocado:

    I had the swordfish pastrami rueben

     

    macs fish shack reuben.jpg

     

    Husband had a scallop roll

     

    macs fish shack scallop roll.jpg

     

    Nephew had a burger (no picture).  He's allergic to shrimp, crab, and lobster, so has pretty limited choices when dining out on the Cape.  Luckily he really likes burgers.

     

    Yesterday we backtracked a bit and went to Chatham for the day so the kids could go shopping at the candy stores.  Mistake, it was insanely crowded.  We had lunch at the Impudent Oyster https://www.zagat.com/r/impudent-oyster-chatham/menu

     

    Nephew's veggie burger (no fries because of his allergy)

  3. Yesterday we lost two of our six members of vacationing party to their need to return to work, so it's just my husband, niece and nephew for the rest of the trip.  We were only moderately hungry yesterday (and did not feel like driving) so went to a casual place near our rental house, the Pearl http://www.wellfleetpearl.com

  7. I am on the Outer Cape now and thought I would add my dining experiences to this thread.  It's insanely crowded out here right now so we won't be traveling other than on foot until after the weekend, but I'll be out in Provincetown a couple of times and will stop in to Pop and Dutch.  I remember seeing it last year but we did not go in.

     

    We came out Thursday night to beat the bridge traffic and stayed two nights at a hotel in Eastham before checking into our usual rental house in Wellfleet.  On Friday we had breakfast at the Fairway https://www.fairwaycapecod.com

     

    My niece and nephew both had pancakes

     

    fairway pancakes.jpg

     

    My husband got the Flying Pigwich.  Ironically they forgot to put the bacon on it!  That was fine because my meal came with too much bacon so I gave him some of mine

     

    fairway pigwich.jpg

     

    I had the Nanny's potato pancakes with poached eggs

     

    fairway potato pancakes.jpg

     

    We were expecting more members of our group to join us that evening so decided to just go back to the same place for dinner.  I'm lazy like that sometimes.  My husband and I shared an order of fish tacos.  They were huge.  I could have been done eating after this.

     

    fairway fish tacos.jpg

     

    My niece and nephew got mozzarella sticks

     

    fairway mozza sticks.jpg

     

    I ordered linguini with clams for dinner.  It was enough for five people!  I prefer smaller portions.

     

    fairway linguini and clams.jpg

     

    My husband got lobster mac and cheese.  Again, too much food

    My niece and nephew opted for calzones

    I am back out on the outer part of Cape Cod for the next week and am hoping to get some good local fish to cook for dinner.  It's striped bass season so that's what I am hoping to grill for the 4th.  I'll post about my restaurant meals in the New England dining thread.

  9. Back from a two week vacation in which there was not enough home cooking (other than breakfast) and too much restaurant food.  I am afraid to get on the scale.  Last night's fish share was hake.  I made a coconut curry fish recipe from the book Made in India

     

    coconut curry hake.jpg

     

     

    and from the same book, green beans with mustard seeds, sesame seeds, and ginger.

    I am now at a vacation house on the other side of the island with arguably a better view. I will post a picture of it with my breakfast tomorrow

  11. Curried chicken salad on organic locally grown greens. There is only one farm on this island mostly greens and herbs but occasionally tomatoes are available. And of course local fruits. Local mango is in this salad.

    and for my picky eaters who turn up their noses at curried chicken, cheese, crackers and fruit. Plus some leftover steak from the other night.

  13. I spent the Memorial Day weekend out in Wellfleet on Cape Cod.  The weather was gorgeous (except for today, it is pouring today!).  I did not do much cooking, but we ate out a lot.  The Beachcomber is probably the most famous restaurant out here.  It is not at all fancy, always extremely crowded, and the crowd can be a little rough (aka drunk!).  We go for lunch because the scene at night is not always teen appropriate.  They do a nice job with their fryer.
