Hi Bill. A little tale of me being childish - My wife and I went there because I saw there was a festival on with a food tent and thought 'hmm I fancy some fresh, quality seafood'. When we got there the only food at the festival was pies and sausages. We then moved inland and stopped nearer York where there was a pub that had lobster on the menu. My wife suggested we had some and I replied 'I am not travelling to the sea to eat land animals and I am certainly not travelling inland to eat seafood' so we went home and had a supermarket fish pie. 5 hours driving.

@@themaltedmuse from bitter experience, this Mainer is very picky about sourcing fresh lobster 🦞 away from the seashore. My hometown a half hour inland has one seafood specialist whose tanks I trust. Me, I'd have had the footie meatpie if Ingredients passed anaphylaxis muster, but that's a big ask, HP is probably in the marinade. (No chance they knew what was in the sausage.)

@@BillRicker I had bad lobster in the Dominican once. It put me off risking it. The pies looked good but no better than I can get at home. One of the problems with age is finding low energy new taste experiences gets harder.
