Dining in Nantucket is a popular pastime.  It reminds me of Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.  You can enjoy fine dining but also plenty of casual eateries are sought out by many…

Visiting Nantucket with a local has been great.  Knowing where to go, what to see, and what to appreciate.  We decided to stay in and cook seafood.  A visit to Sayle’s Seafood located at 99 Washington Street Extension was what we needed to do. Tel. 508-228-4599  Website?  http://www.saylesseafood.com.

You can order seafood and appetizers, chowders, sandwiches and even dinner and sit out on their small porch.  Or, take it home.  Sayle’s Seafood offers catering services, including famous Clambakes.

We did not choose lobster but there were plenty to choose from. From a few pounds to over 4 pounds.  They, actually, had pretty good deals.

Cod that’s what we chose and 4 or 5 pounds of mussels.  These had just come in.

We had everything else we needed at the house.  And, to Never Moor we went.

The cod was so easy to prepare.  Just grated lemon, lemon juice, pepper, a bit of salt and butter.  On 425 degrees cooking it 10 minutes to the inch.

The mussels were gorgeous and came out just beautifully.  I love mussels and order them often. But, these climbed to a different level.  Butter, wine, and their own broth….so delish!

The housemates were getting restless….too much wine at the table.

I sat down and looked at all of them and thought…..Friends are always there when you need them.

Totally loved these mussels.

Totally loved these mussels.

We went outside after dinner.  It was so quiet.  The sunset was awesome!!  And, then the stars came out.

Destination? Nantucket, Massachusetts, Fall Travels

dscn1475

Cape Air brought me to Nantucket safe and sound.  Just a few of us in the airplane.  Mike was our pilot.

The airport in Nantucket is called Nantucket Memorial Airport.  Can you believe that this airport is the second busiest commercial airport in the state?  Must be all those private jets landing all the time to enjoy one beautiful island.

My friends were waiting for me and we took off to eat at the their club.  Privacy of the club….it will remain anonymous.

The view from our outdoor seating was gorgeous.

Clam chowder for some of us….I thought delish!!

Lobster roll for me….I ate it in memory of my husband, John Merryman, III who thought that there was no other lobster roll in the world as good as in Nantucket.

Fried clam chowder for another….our 95 year old Aunt Barbie.

And a sandwich with more amazing onions rings!! Well, behind the mountain of onion rings.

I will have more posts from Nantucket…stay tuned.

This island is loved by many.  I thought there was a lot of new construction in town.  Some traveling authorities say that it is the Best Island in The World, or one of America’s Top Ten Most Desirable Islands, or, the Perfect Beach Town for a Fall Vacation….I would have to agree on that one.
