It has been some time!  I was trying to craft a post about my summer drinks, but it appears I have too many and need to pare them down.  However,  lets put that on hold for today.  Last week, I went on a family trip to Cape Cod and we located a great gluten free seafood place.  Unfortunately, my keyboard of this laptop broke on the trip and remains broken, until the replacement part comes in.  As you may imagine, writing without the use of several of your keys, including the space bar, is very difficult.

The place was the Chatham Fish Market / Chatham Fish and Lobster company, surrounded by beautifully landscaped residences.  The Fish Market was the section of the building to purchase fresh seafood, however the food area was more like a small diner. Two glass cases with a selection of precooked foods, including gluten free cheesecake, gluten free asparagus risotto, and what I thought was the best, gluten free crabcakes.  Crabcakes are a mix of crab, breadcrumbs, spices and seasoning and a binder like mayonaise, formed into patties, coated in breadcrumbs, and fried.  Delicious, but because they were cold in the coolers, I picked up two to bring to the place I was staying.

Why?  Because I was after the fried foods.  All the fried foods there are gluten free.  Fish&Chips, Fried Clams, Fried Shrimp, onion rings, yum.  They seem to use a cornflour coating that fries up nice and crisp.  However, I doubt they would stay crisp for the two hour trip.  They were worth getting.  Crisp and hot, with tartar sauce.  I'd have preferred cocktail sauce for the clams, and a horseradish mayo for the rings.

I'd consider frying, but it's not quite worth the effort for one person.  Especially because it means that there is quite a bit of cleanup after.
