August 25, 2014. Western Head, N.S. Seascape.

Once every visit we eat Fish and Chips. The idea is much better than actually eating it. I am not sure if it is merely patriotic or whether we enjoy eating the Fish and Chips but we always and only once eat a meal of Fish and Chips. Every restaurant serves it. The fish is always fresh. Nova Scotians will send the fish back to the kitchen if the fish is not fresh. In our opinion, the best place to eat Fish and Chips is at The Seascape Restaurant, right on Highway 103, close to Port Mouton. The Seascape Restaurant has been a family owned establishment for four generations, always serving food in their same location. The building is a small Cape Cod style home. The first family of Campbells to run the restaurant served food on one side of the home while they lived in the other. As the family grew, dormers were added to the second story and the family lived upstairs. And a small grocery store was opened on the former living quarters. Now the fourth generation does the cooking. The restaurant seats 20 diners while half of the building sells groceries and liquor. The restaurant is cute with Nova Scotia tartan table clothes. The Fish and Chips were delicious on Saturday when Dave and Irene treated us for lunch. Both Ken and I ate two pieces of fish and a half order of fried clams. It can't be good for you so maybe next time we will stop the practice. But I doubt it.
