Theconcept is almost too simple: Pick from a lineup of daily fresh fish(salmon to monkfish to snapper), tell them how you’d like it cooked(fried, sautéed, or blackened), and park yourself at one of thecommunal picnic tables. Sip local pale ale. Wait longer than expected.Gawk at ocean views. Your name is eventually called, and your fishwaits at the counter with your chosen sides (mashed potatoes, Cajunrice, steamed veggies). It’s worth every penny. — Kevin Raub
