The Causeway
Had fried smelt at the Causeway Restaurant yesterday. $7.99 for a generous amount of fresh fried smelt and french fries. I couldn’t finish them and I can generally put away a huge amount of fried smelt.
Before ordering I was sure to ask if the smelt were fresh or previously frozen. Our most excellent server recognizing that we were seafood industry people assured us that the smelt were indeed fresh to my delight. Service was outstanding. It reminded me that this is the time of year to really take advantage of the Causeway when you can get in without the huge lines of summer. There were a ton of items all under $10. Is there anyone out there that doesn’t already know about the huge portions?
My advice is to get there now while you can, and before the throngs of summer people come and you won’t be able to enjoy this treasure of a place. Another in the long list of great joints to eat in our killer city!

View from Cruiseport
View from Cruiseport, originally uploaded by captjoe06.When you look out the windows to the right the vistas are best and the deck in the summer would be a decent spot for a tourist who wants to get a feel for the industrial waterfront while dining.
I hear that’s what some out of towners want.

Port of Call Grilled Eggplant Sandwich
Port of Call Grilleded Eggplant Sandwich, originally uploaded by captjoe06.I had a grilled eggplant sandwich that was outstanding. It came with roasted red peppers, homemade pesto, and swiss cheese on a nice light delicious roll. Cost $7.50
Really really tasty.
The Caesar Salad with steak tips were colossal and looked excellent also. For the amount of steak tips and size of the salad it looked to be a bargain at $8.50

Fantastic TV above the bar. Friendly service. I’d come back again for sure. There were several attractively priced lunch specials.

This is a better pic of the infamous Octopus. The sushi chef told me that inside the head there will be a light fixture that is supposed to light it up. Should look pretty wild.

Check out- Chili Choice
I just love this place. Every time I walk in I feel like I’ve known the girls for years and they are always willing to accomodate my tweaking of the dishes.
The prices are reasonable. The ingredients the freshest and it shows in the tasty dishes they prepare. Another reason Gloucester is the best place in the world to live- funky joints like Chili Choice.
Here’s a link to the website-

Latitude 43 Sushi Pit
Latitude 43 Sushi Pit, originally uploaded by captjoe06.The centerpiece of the place is the sushi pit.
I guess they were a man down, operating with two sushi chefs. Overheard in the pit was that one of the sushi chefs quit because he was taking the train from Boston and they closed after the last train left to get him home.
We had a spicy tuna roll, excellent. A California roll, also excellent made with real crab. Edamame which I prefer with a little more salt and a shrimp tempura roll which we both didn’t care for because the shrimp wasn’t crispy in the roll and found the addition of carrot to be odd.
Compared to Sushi Island, Latitude 43 had one roll that was slightly better, one that was as good and the other that wasn’t close. The room at Latitude 43 is beautiful and lends itself to community conversation which I dig.
The prices were higher but reasonable when you take the room into consideration.

The Mrs was impressed with the decor.
The octopus sculpture hanging over the sushi pit was really something.
The Mrs wondered if you were to start up your own joint if you could contact the local art colleges and see if they would be willing to have a contest for its students with the winner having their piece displayed.

Latitude 43 Waiting Lounge
Latitude 43 Waiting Lounge, originally uploaded by captjoe06.Beautiful room. Warm, inviting.
A huge thank you should go out to folks that have the confidence and willingness to investthis kind of dough in Gloucester.
This place is yet another reason Gloucester has it all over the muckey muck towns a little further up the line that pretend to be great but have no soul.
Good Morning Gloucester
