new this summer:

Salty Frank’s Dogs will be on site Tuesday through Sunday fair weather days, and weekends after Labor Day. The menu changes up daily and goes beyond dogs (lobster rolls, mozzarella sticks, chicken…) One photo shows  looking back to his childhood: his family stayed in the first house on the front cottages row. There used to be a store on the ground floor.

 

 

Testing the waters this weekend:

The Cow: mobile scooped ice cream parlor frappes, iced coffee and more

Sunday Night at the Lobster Pool

View of Ipswich Bay from the Lobster Pool Restaurant Rockport

Sunday night we arrived at the Lobster Pool just as the sun was setting. By 11:30 that morning a line had formed out the door, yet despite this fact, we were greeted graciously and had a delicious dinner of (what else) Captain Joe’s lobster rolls.

LOBSTER CORN DOG ROLLS

 
Recipe: Lobster Corn Dog Rolls with Tamarind Ketchup

 

 

Lobster Corn Dogs Rolls
 
 6 c Vegetable oil
3 c Corn meal

1/2 c Sugar

3 Eggs

1/4 c Milk

2 Lobster tails; (8-ounce)

—————TAMARIND KETCHUP——————–

2 c Tamarind; fresh
2 c Red tomato; chopped

1 c White onion; diced

3 Cloves garlic; minced

2 c Orange juice

1/2 Box brown sugar

1 c Mango; chopped

2 Red bell peppers; grilled

Preheat 6 cups vegetable oil to 350 degrees. Whisk together corn meal, sugar, eggs, and milk, set aside. Remove the lobster tail from the shell and skewer the lobster meat through the center from the bottom of the tail to the top. Dip the lobster in the batter and deep-fry until golden brown and crisp, about 4 minutes. Serve with Tamarind Ketchup.

TAMARIND KETCHUP:
In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, cook all ingredients until tender. Transfer the mixture to the jar of a blender and puree until smooth. Pour the ketchup through a fine sieve into a medium bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Yep, More Of The World’s Best Lobster Rolls From The Mrs

This week I provided the lobsters and the Mrs provided the preparation.  Yum!

Think about this- stormy weekend, football on the tube, lobster rolls, and some hand picked out wine from my trusted wine aficionado advisor Toby Pett. Sounds about perfect to me.
