Mussels with julienned vegetables: not sure why that garnish was necessary, but these tasted pretty good. The size of the mussels were smaller than expected, though.
Stuffed quahogs: my first time having these large clams. The meat was chopped up with the stuffing and baked into that hearty appetizer. And yes, the Family Guy town is the made-up town of Quahog, RI!
Clams casino: not quite the preparation I was expecting because I thought breadcrumbs were a major component in this dish. Still tasty.
Blackened salmon Caesar salad: not something I normally order but we were in the mood for a salad. Turned out surprisingly delicious, though there was a lot of dressing.
Though this place is probably not going to end up people's "must visit again" lists, it was a pleasant meal after a bit of time in the car and walking on the beach. I know some people have very strong feelings about eating in touristy parts of a town, but I didn't mind. After all, I was on vacation with my family, which is something that doesn't happen as often as I wish! And I'm pretty happy that I tried some quahog, which IS something I want to eat again on my next trip.

COEhog? I never would've guessed.
I think the food looks pleasant enough.
it all looks awesome.
Weezermonkey: I know, what a wacky pronunciation. I think it might vary slightly depending on what part of RI. Err, since it's such a huge state? :P
Yutjangsah: Thanks, lady! :)
