A replica of the Mayflower! Plymouth Rock! Lobster Hut! 馃ぃ
@4meAndyou take me to the Lobster Hut please bet the food is out of this world

@saragoodtimes Yes, IMO their seafood is better than Wood's seafood, which is almost right next door. I like batter dipped fried seafood better than seafood dredged in flour and fried.
@4meAndyou I usually dredge mine in Panko crumbs

@saragoodtimes Lobster Hut marinates their seafood in buttermilk, then they dip it in beer batter and fry it for no more than 3 minutes. Quite a textural difference.

@4meAndyou might have to try that at home with cod, and use gluten free flour.

@cherokeepatti British fish and chips, which are SO good and SO famous, marinate the fish in buttermilk first also.

@4meAndyou i've been there, if it's the one that is probably the only one around. very disappointed with the rock though. done the K1 racing in the mall too. some neat things there.

@testbutton Quite a story behind the unimpressive rock. It has been picked up and moved no less than three times, and each time they moved it, it broke in half.

They kept saving the bigger bits.

It's last home, just prior to being installed in it's present location, was right in front of city hall. Unfortunately, the tourists who arrived in Plymouth began to chip off samples and take them home, so they decided to move the rock to a more protected site, before it disappeared completely.

They believe that the original Pilgrims buried their dead during that last, hard winter, on the hillside just above the rock. They buried their dead in secret, so the Indians would not know how badly their population had been decimated.

In the 1950's, bones began to wash done out of the hillside. The bones were collected, and placed in a water tight casket, and re-buried directly below the present day, unimpressive...Plymouth Rock.

@4meAndyou i didn't know that story. wish the rock was as impressive!

@testbutton Used to be.

@4meAndyou There's always the go-carts in the mall..

@testbutton Have never actually tried those...馃ぃ. I used to beach comb, though. Looking for free quartz to make jewelry.

@4meAndyou best I ever get is the beach glass from old beer bottles... ;)

@testbutton I was so into rock cutting and grinding for a while that I used to break those blue wine bottles and grind them in my rock polishing machine. Blue is really rare!

@4meAndyou Vick鈥檚 salve I might still have a glass bottle of that
4meAndyouF
@cherokeepatti Yeah...it's all plastic now, so if you have a glass bottle of Vicks it's almost a collector's item...馃ぃ

@4meAndyou might look at yard sales. Grandmas will save stuff like that in their medicine cabinets for decades and when they move to a nursing center or die their kids have a yard sale
