I would say let's go to Bigelow's and you can get introduced to Bigelow's and I can get introduced to softshelled crab. <br /><br />Only hitch is that there's a darned good reason we usually go in the wintertime. You wait then, but it's for fifteen minutes. Summertime waits are doubtless horrendous.bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794351142636136626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10267465.post-41841910556898630722011-06-27T12:08:49.160-04:002011-06-27T12:08:49.160-04:00"O" my!

Bigelow's is a great clam shack - 20 different kinds of seafood, focus on fried (although there is grilled if you like). You sit on stools at a counter & your food comes out on paper plates. Nick's is much more of a full-on restaurant - tables, china plates, glass glasses, preparations are mostly steamed, grilled or sauteed; there are lots of pasta dishes and then a nice raw bar selection. The lobster was as good as it looked. Nick's actually is also a fish market - there are glass cases full of seafood on ice out in front as you walk in, and a huge tank of very lively lobsters. <br /><br />The sign omits the "dock" part but the place is commonly known as "Nick's Lobster Dock". They had one at one time; they ended up getting rid of it at some point because they could put in more outdoor seating, but one of our party got to talking to the owner while they were waiting and he said that he's considering putting in a new one - they'd really like people to be able to come by boat. <br /><br />We'd love that at Sebago, lunch at Nick's would make for a very festive & fun advanced-beginner paddle.bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794351142636136626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10267465.post-36541918702221109872011-06-27T09:38:03.581-04:002011-06-27T09:38:03.581-04:00I'm glad we went on Saturday, it sounded like ...I'm glad we went on Saturday, it sounded like a good crew on Sunday, might have been too crowded with more. In the end I didn't even make the workshop - I don't know if it was too much sun or too much lobster or a bug or a combination, but I was feeling quite woozy Sunday morning. <br /><br />The dogs were the winners there - TQ went ahead to help out with the workshop; I never quite got back to 100% but I did get to the point where another beautiful day was calling & it was too nice to be inside, so I leashed up the hounds & we went & moseyed around in Prospect Park for a couple of hours. <br /><br />That was pretty nice, too. <br /><br />Good news is TQ went ahead & did the workshop with Walter & Dotty & the club has 4 new assistant trip leaders - HOORAY. We needed those!<br /><br />Holly - sorry about the stick on Blue! I swear we weren't doing anything abnormally demanding, just some good hiked-out upwind sailing, but we felt bad about it! I hope you were able to work something out with it if all the Sunfish were needed on Sunday.bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794351142636136626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10267465.post-16241436860597400372011-06-27T09:30:58.568-04:002011-06-27T09:30:58.568-04:00How does Nick's compare with Bigelow's?
