You head for lunch on the coast.
.
.
And this time we picked Sebasco Resort in Phippsburg.
There are two restaurants on site, but unfortunately the nicer one with the full menu was closed due to Covid era short staffing.
.
.
So we made do with The Ledges pub.
.
.
The outdoor patio area was filled with tourists so we had to sit inside… but the views were just as nice.
.
.
As were the cocktails. Two basil refreshers later, it was time to order.
.
.
We both started with the clam chowder which was good, but I’m a Mainer and quite picky about giving two thumbs up to chowder.
.
.
Husband had a perfectly prepared baked haddock with white wine and butter…
.
.
But my fried scallops were less than satisfactory. The batter was thick and way too crunchy… and Holy Hell, dripping in enough grease to lube two cars and a pick up truck. Blech.
.
.
If I’d been able to open the window I would have fed them to this fellow.
.
.
Thankfully the pub redeemed itself with a nice wild Maine blueberry pie a la mode.
.
.
After our meal we attempted to walk off the pounds.
.
.
To be continued….
.
Really pretty spot, but good god – why would they do that to scallops?

So scallops actually have a taste…..?

Stop that! If you don’t think scallops have a taste, you haven’t had a Maine sea scallop.

What a waste of a perfectly good scallop. I seared some in butter and olive oil last week, then squeezed fresh lemon juice and a dash of salt and pepper on top. THAT’S the way to enjoy a scallop!

Don’t you just hate it when they ruin good seafood with enough batter to plater a house with? I’m not anywhere near a coastline but damn, that’s an abomination.

It’s funny how places like these have always been there, but you never realized it. I’m glad we found it.
