Sadly not quite what was expected. The food was fair at best - the clam chowder was very thick and pasty with a taste of flour (not cooked enough), the rice and vegetables were stone cool and Baked Stuffed Scrod was overcooked, dry and tasteless.

This place should be renamed The Puking Crab! I'd rather eat a can of Nine Lives tuna than eat here again. Way overpriced for picnic tables and poorly prepared food. Seems like they treat teir staff as poorly as the food tastes, too. Go get a Fish-a-majig at McDonalds, it'll be better than anything you can eat here!
