And on the Seventh Day, we Rested

Sunday was a day to do nothing, however that changed because Dottie called her parents in Toms River, NJ and invited them up for a leisurely lunch. Then she also invited her brother John and his family to join us. John said that his wife Peggy and son Johnny were working, but he and their daughter Laurie would take the 1 hour car ride to meet with us and his parents.

At about 1 PM everyone arrived and we sat around and chatted for over two hous. Then it was off the Sunset Cove for cocktails and a restaurant named "Striped Bass" for dinner. Striped Bass is on the marina premises, and it too was a real nice reataurant. In this area on NY, seafood is king, and all reataurants serve huge portions of it.

I had their cold shellfish platter, which  included a whole 1.5lb lobster, 1lb of shrimp, a dozen raw clams and a 1/2 dozen raw oysters. All served "Iced Over"....mmmmmmmmmmm good.
A bit pricey ($44.00) for this dish, but an excellent choice.
Dottie, and my mother in law and father in law all had Seafood Linguine, John and Laurie had Shrimp Appetizers and Giant Diver Scallops, served with a huge salad, which they both shared.

Like Sunset Cove, which is right next door, they too have an outdoor tiki bar and cabana.
