I had five different sea creatures at dinner last night. That's because Adam and I split the fisherman's platter at the Barking Crab, plus a few oysters as warm up. The platter's line-up was haddock, shrimp, scallops, and clams...all fried. Mmmmmm, so good. Summer is officially complete.

I sometimes think the Barking Crab is kind of a kitschy place, more for the tourist-type not the local-type. But then every summer I find myself looking for a cool outdoor place on the water with fried clams, and voila...the Barking Crab. And I'm pretty sure if I ran into this place in another city, I'd probably complain, "Why can't Boston have a place like this?!" So here it is...I love the Barking Crab.
