Vy Eats: Here Fishy Fishy!

So, today was our first day of the season at Loon Mountain in NH. And what a sad first day it was. More dirt/grass than snow. :(

But I did get to snowboard with a panda that got a lot of attention:

For Jessica's birthday, the eight of us went to Joe Fish in North Reading, which is home of giant lobster rolls. The restaurant is next to a Walmart, which is weird. But the inside is pretty nice, in a casual and understated kind of way. Not Legal Seafoods, but not a Clam Box either.

For starters, we got:

Fried calamari and assorted peppers with a spicy mayo - not a bad calamari, but a very generous portion.

Crab rangoon dip - meh.

PEI mussels - pretty good. I only had a couple, but George the Panda ate a whole order.

For entrees, most of us shared.

Wei had the steamers for a meal.

Tai and Jessica split the "Big Kahuna" lobster roll, which was one pound of lobster meat. This was gigantic - Jessica struggled to finish her half. Tai's verdict: good, pretty fresh, but not as fresh as James Hook.

Rosa and I had the medium sized lobster tacos. I really liked it, but they're surprisingly filling. We had one taco each, and gave George and Edmund the third. I didn't touch the rice and beans.

Harry's baked lobster.

George and Edmund's cajun swordfish. Probably the smallest portion of the night.

Overall, I liked Joe Fish. The food is solid, the portions are pretty big, and our server was really attentive. She was busy, but she refilled every water glass or fountain drink.
