Did you really think I could show pictures of my trip to Block Island without food? I think not! Geesh who would I be if I didn’t break my camera out during meals.
Breakfast at the Narragansett Inn
One of the delights of the day was breakfast, which is included at your stay at the Narragansett Inn.
Many places list a breakfast buffet but it’s short of the gourmet and heavy on the carbs (bagels and the like), not here. Fresh pancakes, or french toast, and the absolute best scrambled eggs I’ve ever had. Sorry Mom. I’m also a sucker for grinder salt and whole pepercorns, look, look, it’s standard on the table! I’m in heaven.
Pistacio Crusted Cod
Dinner at the Narragansett Inn was wonderful. I stayed true to my theme of regional food and ordered the Pistachio Crusted Cod. Would have never thought of using pistachios on fish, but paired with the tomato/mango salsa it was a blend of flavors and textures which worked very well together.
Lobster Roll
The Lobster roll from the Rebecca’s On The Beach was a pleasant surprise. Normally beach concession stands serve the traditional hot dogs, hamburgers and the like. didn’t know what to expect, but this cold mixed lobster salad (think tuna salad with lobster instead) really hit the spot. The next day we visited the main beach and I had a grilled tuna steak sandwich. Can’t get that in Nebraska.
New England Clam Chowder
Authentic clam chowder from MacPhails in the Old Harbor was an item to check off the list and the rainy overcast Monday made it a perfect choice.
Fried Calamari, yum, yum!
I’m one of those people who love calamari, even the little ones with eight legs that remind me of the little sea creature they are. In my opinion it’s a reminder that my sea food didn’t come out of a box chopped up and in “cookie cutter” sizes. These beauties were found at Payne’s Dock restaurant within “stumbling” distance of the Narragansett Inn. That is if you need to stumble back after a few margaritas.
Hope I made you hungry, I know I’m hungry again and want to go back. I also enjoyed clam fritters for lunch, tuna steak sandwich at the beach, and shrimp salads. Overall I think my culinary menu of regional foods was well rounded.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, you’re making me hungry!!!
That cod looks and sounds scrumptious! De-lish.
It was very good, I was tempted to get the salmon, because I love salmon, but I can’t get fresh cod in Nebraska
