At least once every visit, Dave and Irene take us to The Sea Shanty to eat fish and chips, English style. After David and Suzanne and the girls left for the airport at 12:30, Irene suggested that we, who were left behind and feeling a little lonely, drive down to Port Mouton for lunch. Their fish is excellent, fresh, moist and light. The couple who run the restaurant returned from Toronto from a successful career in accounting. The little place has been run as a restaurant by the same family for five generations and when the husband's father died, they moved to learn about and run the restaurant. That was 1998.
They have made changes. They built four rental cottages across the street right on the water. Half the little cape cod house is now a convenience store and an addition added to the side is a liquor store. Survival is the name of the game. One thing that has not changed is their food. It is not fancy but is always good. Every year we wonder if they have weathered the winter. At first they stayed open all year, but now they close for several months. With only eight tables, staying solvent must be an issue. I am always pleased to see them open. I admire their diligence but I especially like their fish and chips!!.
