My Quest

This blog is the tale of my quest for home-made, low-salt, traditional, rustic and innovative cuisine. Special attention is given to restaurants and food suppliers in special locations, such as locally owned farms, farmer's markets, walkable people places, water view properties and to properties of notable architectural merit. Restaurants and inns are considered in light of sustainability efforts as well, and noted with a green apple for special efforts to conserve and sustain.

Flo's Clam Shack-A Decadent Departure


Middletown, Rhode Isand
There are situations where a note to the regional and fresh warrant a departure from pure health and low salt offerings and Flo's Clam Shack has won me over. Despite my usual rules for quality cuisine, I applaud these clams so fresh with full belly that they melt in the mouth. For me there will be no other clam shack.. No food stupor followed this delicious meal, and the moisture of the fresh seafood secreting its plentiful moisture from a crisp coating was a delighful flavor not to be forgotten. In fact, it compares with some of the best soft shell crabs I have had. The shack is cash only and many tables have partial view of the water... a non pretentious place patronized mostly by returning clientele. No tableside service here. Wait on the line, and take your little numbered lobster to your table and wait for it to beep. Child friendly, and fun.
