I tried a new seafood joint called Tackle Box in the heart of G'town. Tackle Box is a side venture of Hook and it occupies the old Georgetown Bagelry which had the best hang over sandwich. Anyway, it is supposed to be a lobster/clam shack. They serve a couple types of fish grilled or fried and some other seafood...shrimp,clams, oysters, scallops. I wanted clam strips so i was psyched to go. I get there and no clam strips..."we'll have some in tuesday"...disappointed i look at the Lobster roll..."fresh out" they reply. I'm stuck getting shrimp...nothing special to report here. The shrimp were fresh and fried well the sides were bland and the tartar and cocktail sauces were on the lite side. Maybe when i get the chance to have a lobster roll it'll be different.
So while i'm munching away this blonde pink clad preppy chick sits next to me. She's complaining to herself about the lack of lobster rolls as her over sized vineyard vines bag teeters on the seat next to her. She eyes two guys at the next picnic table and yells out.
"Excuse me is that a Harvard-Yale t-shirt"
Everyone stares...
The guy replies, "No UVa-Maryland."
"Oh I thought you went to Yale." she snorts.
AT this point everyone just looks at her...what a snob.
I look at her and she looks back, "It looks like a Yale Lax T-shirt."
"Oh, really?" I reply.
No clam strips and preppies...it's just like being in Mystic!
I think Tackle Box added her for ambience.
