Cape Cod

[bukhrn]

I posted this here because it doesn't actually fit in the Camp Cooking section, what's it have to do with RV'ing, we will be RV'ing when we go there.
Now on to my question, looking for the best Seafood in Cape Cod, not looking for Yelp, Travel Advisor or other web sites, looking for opinions of folks who have actually been there. Thanks

Woods is great, but far away from Cape Cod............

If you like lobster rolls the Raw Bar in New Seabury is good and enough for two meals.

Just looked this up on Google Maps, it says "Permanently Closed". :?

Like many restaurants on Cape Cod, they probably close or cut back for the off season. I called and their recording said Friday, Saturday and Sunday hours so I expect they're still open, just on winter hours.

Was kind of hoping that was the case, saw a photo of that Lobster roll, Really want try that one. 😛

X-2, I might wait awhile to see if anymore suggestions pop up, might just have to try them all. :B

Maybe it was just bad luck but one of our worst meals we ever had was at Provincetown. Went with brother and sister in law and all four of our meals were just awful. Remember looking at the other meals served and they didn't look much better. Was at the dock area, In retrospect I'm guessing it was a tourist trap type place. Regardless we will never eat up there again.

Yeah, it's possible if you were there in season. We always go in October just before everything shuts down. I can't remember the name of the place, but it's lost likely changed hands anyway. P'town is an acquired taste in many ways 😉

Seafood Sam's is overrated.

Disagree. It depends on what you get.

If you are referring to Fisherman's View on the canal we haven't been there but friends have and they weren't impressed at all. If you are referring to the Pilot House we have been there it was just awful. Captain Scotts (also in Sandwich) is good but has gotten kind of fru fru and very expensive. I don't eat it but multiple family members say their clam chowder is the best.

Here's my list mostly from the area around the canal

The Seafood Shanty on the Scenic Hwy (Rt 6 between the bridges)
East Wind Lobster in Buzzards Bay (just off the old Bourne Bridge Rotary)
The Lobster Trap Shore Road Bourne. Unfortunately, this place has been "discovered" and is expensive and hard to get into. They went from a porch next to a kitchen to valet parking and police directing traffic.

Right on the Bourne cape side rotary is the lighthouse where you can get a lobster roll for lunch. This is where we get out lobsters and steamers.

There's a new place (haven't been yet) on Sandwich Harbor on the canal that's reported to be good food, but difficult to get into.

Other places on the Cape I've been to Baxter's in Hyannis, Kreme 'n Kone in Chatham and Dennis. Ok but ridiculously expensive.

Seafood Sam's is overrated.

If you make it out as far as P'town, just about anywhere there is great.
