You've got to respect the East Coast for their passionate love of two things: beach vacations and seafood. Take either one away and I think there would be a riot on our hands. And even though the Mexican food thus far has been less than abysmal, I have yet to have a fish focused meal that didn't pass muster. Needless to say, my recent visit to Tackle Box in Georgetown had me fall for the whole seaside vacay seafood thing hook, line and sinker.
Situated next to its posh sister fish eatery Hook, Tackle Box is more apropos for Old Orchard Beach or Atlantic City. The boardwalk vibe is palpable with wood planked walls, weathered picnic tables and benches and hand drawn menus signaling the catch is fresh off the lobster boats.
Upon entering the small locale you're struck by the groups of happy lobster roll eaters, stranger next to stranger, wiping up every last drop from Styrofoam plates and cheap plastic silverware. I knew this was going to be a treat.
My dinner companions and I must have taken too long in front of the massive chalk outlined Tackle Box menu as we were greeted by the sweetest staffer who came from behind the counter. He was patient and full of great suggestions. I certainly admire anyone willing to tell me honestly what they eat on break.
