Sesuit Harbor Cafe is a family owned business in its 26th season in the Northside Marina on Cape Cod Bay.  They serve breakfast and lunch daily from 7 – 2:30.  You order inside the building, decorated with boat bumpers, that also has lots of souvenirs for sale and then find a spot at one of the many picnic tables out back.   They call your number when your order is ready and bring it out to you.  Boats are parked nearby and run through the water beside you.  It is a cash only place.  It was quite popular with a combination of locals and tourists.  The food is prepared quickly and they have a number of non-seafood options if you’re so inclined.  We wanted to try their lobster roll as well as their whole belly clams.   It seemed like slightly less in the toasted bread than yesterday but lettuce was not mixed in.  It was mostly large chunks of meat but the mayo melded in some shreds.  The flavor was good.  Slaw was lightly dressed and fine and the fries were a coated variety.  I’d go again cause it’s a pretty place to sit and the food was nicely fresh and tasty.

Chatham Pier Fish Market, Chatham, MA., 9/25/25

The Chatham Pier Fish Market is open daily with the kitchen open 11-7.  It is right on the waterfront (historic Chatham Fish Pier) where the boats drive by and/or unload.  There are picnic tables nearby but it was raining the day we visited so we ate in the car.  You can order at a walk up window or inside at the counter, where most were that day.  Inside is also the counter with the fresh fish and shellfish options along with some locally grown produce.  It all looked fabulously fresh and delicious.   The people at the counter were friendly and efficient.  There is a self-serve drink fountain where you can get a free cup of ice water.  We were there to get lobster rolls- a taste of New England – but if I lived around here I’d be at this market often to get food to cook at home. We tried both the warm roll with butter as well as the cool one with mayo.  Both were full of large chunks of lobster meat on toasted bread.  We preferred the one with mayo as the flavor seemed to meld better.  Both were mixed with shredded iceberg lettuce which I didn’t care for and would know to ask to leave out if I went back. The fries with both rolls were the coated variety and nicely crisp.  The slaw was nicely dressed and slaw.  This is a good stop for a lobster roll. Continue reading →
