August 22, 2019. Western Head, Nova Scotia. Seascape vs World's Best Clams.

Irene and Dave have always voted Seascape as having the best fish and chips, while Christina and the girls prefer The World's Best Clams restaurant. Last Thursday, Dave and Irene ate lunch at the Seascape restaurant in Port Mouton, so today we three ate lunch at the little place in Hunt's Point, which is actually called Seaside Seafood. Our plan was to break the tie. The ambiance at the Seascape is charming. The little old house has been running as a restaurant for three generations by the same family. The table cloths are made of Nova Scotia tartan. And they have air conditioning. The World's Best Clams, which you can read on their sign is old and funky with lots of wood. But it is not charming. And you must carry your tray to your table after you have ordered at the counter. They have a tremendous carry out business. Right off, before we ate a bite, we decided that for us old folks, Seascape is a better restaurant where you sit and are served. I ate fried clams, which were good but Dave and Irene ate fish and chips. They soon voted for the Seascape. Their fish was more flaky and the batter lighter, which they preferred. So our vote was for the Seascape as having the best fish and chips. I suspect that the Mississippi girls like the soft ice cream at the World's Best Clams, which gives their vote to that restaurant. But the verdict is in from the old folks. Seascape has the best fish and chips in town.
