It is a perfectly ordinary restaurant, right on the main highway of 103, just past Hunt's Point, but their fish and chips are delicious. We four are not in love with fish and chips. Too much grease for us. Always, at least once on every visit to Nova Scotia, we eat fish and chips at The Seascape Restaurant and we pretend to be natives. The fish is always fresh and the batter is light so the fish is tender and tasty.
People in Nova Scotia know and like their fish. They only eat haddock, not cod, and the fish must be fresh and hot. The other night at Lane's, the folks at the adjacent table sent the fish back because the fish was not hot enough. Most people will tell you that the best fish and chips are cooked at The Seascape Restaurant which of course is why we started dining there.
The restaurant has been run by the same family since 1928. The small house was built in 1796 by the same Campbell family, which has owned the place ever since. The present couple, who are in their fifties, took over from his parents when they got too old to run the restaurant. It old times, the family lived in half of the house while running the restaurant in the other half. Now that half is a convenience and liquor store. The restaurant is small but is well worth a visit. Ken ordered berry and rhubarb pie for dessert, made in their own kitchen. That alone was worth the drive.
Now I have completed my task of pretending to be a Nova Scotian and eaten fish and chips. It is enough, even though the Seascape Restaurant serves the best fish and chips in town!!
