Betsy and I decided to take a little Sunday drive to see the ocean. We headed for Nahant and toured that quaint little peninsula. The intermittent rain stopped long enough for us to get out for about 10 minutes at a marina and enjoy the breeze and the sea air and a very foggy view of the Boston Skyline.
Then we decided we probably needed to get some fried clams. So I fired up Google maps to look for a seafood restaurant on the water between Nahant and home. The closest to the water was Kelly’s Roast Beef but it does not have any indoor seating and it was pouring when we got there. So the next closest was the Belle Isle Lobster and Seafood Restaurant. As we headed towards it Betsy made a mental note that if it looked sketchy she wasn’t going to go in.

We pulled up and the sign said today’s special was the clam dinner. The interweb reviews were all positive about the food. The only complaint was there is no seating so we gave it a shot. The clams were delicious, the onion rings were spectacular and the cole slaw was pretty good too. There were 8 stools along an L shaped shelf by the windows. So we had a great dinner, met some nice people that sat next to us, all with a water view.
