Well, I said we were behind on posts, and I was right! We completely forgot to share about our late night drive-by dinner at Moby Dicks (Rt 6 in Wellfleet)
SK and I can barely drive by this restaurant without giggling, but we are perhaps not as mature as some of our readers. We actually stopped here for the first time 2 years ago; pre-Covid, of course. I don't remember the meal, but I remember that we decided that it was good enough to stop again. So, we did.
They have an interesting set-up. You basically wait in line (and it can be long) to order at the counter. Then you find a place to sit, and they bring the food to you. Servers and staff are from all over the world and wear their home nations/states on their nametags. Also, it's a BYOB establishment. I don't know if that is a recent development, but you can bring beer and wine in with you. They will even provide ice buckets and openers!
We ended up at Moby Dick's at about 7:45, and did end up waiting in line for another 15 or 20 minutes. Staff are all very pleasant, but they must be tired. It is SO busy there.
Foodwise, we were happy as clams, mussels and seafood--which is what we ordered. We split an order of mussels and an order of pesto oysters. Wow. Again, the broth for the mussels was simple and delicious. The mussels were fresh from Orleans and big and meaty. Pesto oysters were rich, salty with pesto and delicious. We shared a seafood kebob: 2 kebobs with shrimp, scallops, swordfish and veggies on a bed of rice pilaf. the pilaf was better with some mussel broth poured on it (Well, it was there!) but I can't get over how delicious the swordfish was in that kebob. Firm, flavorful, perfectly cooked. Thumbs Up to Moby Dicks!
We also discovered that Moby Dick's is associated with Winslow's Tavern, in Wellfleet, one of our favorite restaurants on the Outer Cape. We are heading there on Tuesday night, and you'll hear about it here!
