On Saturday night I went to Mary's Fish Camp in the West Village with a couple of friends. None of us had ever had a lobster roll before and we were going to remedy that matter.
But first we went for the oysters. One half dozen Malpeque oysters... and then there were none.
Next up, the oven roasted Guatemalan shrimp with chili de arbol. At this point, after the appetizers, I thought and even said out loud that this has already been a great meal. I could have stopped right there. But then we would have missed the whole purpose for our visit.
Which was of course the lobster roll. Ah, the lobster roll! How did I go twenty-six years without ever having the pleasure of eating a lobster roll? It was fresh - the chunks of lobster were enormous - yet rich - the mayo and the buttered bun were just fatty enough. It was so delicious, that by comparison the fries seemed completely pointless. How could anything compete with this?
Once we were done, the waitress informed us that both the Florida Key lime bar and the strawberry blueberry shortcake were homemade. Well, who can pass up a homemade dessert? We were sold and we finished off the meal with the Florida Key lime bar. It was sweet, tart, and creamy - just right.
If you are looking for some killer seafood, I highly recommend Mary's Fish Camp - just make sure to bring a thick wallet. We were a little shocked by the hefty bill, but in my foodie opinion, it was well worth it.
