Our family's favorite is Clem and Ursie's. Very good lobster in the rough as well as big portions of BBQ and Portuguese seafood specialties, and amazing cakes for dessert (also, $1 apiece Wellfleet oysters during happy hour). It has a fun, relaxed atmosphere.

Lorraine's at the west end of Commercial street has been one of our favorites for years. Higher-end Mexican mixed with American. A huge tequila menu. I read a review elsewhere that said that Lorraine's is recently going downhill - I haven't been there for a year, so don't know if that's true. Last meal we had there was excellent.

The Bookstore restaurant (already mentioned) in Wellfleet has out-of-this-world oyster stew (with a thick layer of butter floating on the top); the rest of the food is fine and fresh, but nothing special; the view from the deck is wonderful, though.

My favorite fish and chips is actually at the little take-out shack right on the Wellfleet pier.

Also in PTown is a little place called Caribbean Corner Cafe that makes excellent arepas and other South American treats. Amazingly delicious and all made while you wait.

Finally, The Wicked Oyster in Wellfleet is one of our new favorites. They have great breakfasts, too!

So hard to choose just one! My four favorites at the moment are Thistle Hill Tarentaise, Jasper Hill Constant Bliss, Cashel Blue, and just about any fresh, local goat cheese.

In Florida -- the Gator's Dockside in Lake Mary, FL, just added a basked of fried kosher dills to their menu. They were about 2-inch rounds, between 1/8 and 1/4 inch thick, fried quickly in a flavorful batter and still crisp inside, served with a cup of ranch dressing. We really enjoyed them, even if they sat a bit heavy afterward. But they were the highlight of the meal, and went wonderful with a pitcher of Yuengling...the dill flavor lasted quite a while on the palate.

Gator's Dockside also has EXCELLENT chicken wings, cooked dry-fried, batter-fried, or grilled, and tossed in a variety of sauces. Service is par for the course for a neighborhood sports bar.

Tony Packo's in Toledo, Ohio, offers their original pickles and peppers deep fried, with an assortment of dips (ranch, salsa, or spicy ketchup). The pickles are a spicy dill, but personally, I'd rather eat the fried pepper pieces and leave the fried pickles to my dinner companions!

My first time (with fried pickles) was at the Crazy Horse Saloon in Nashville, TN. The ones at Cheeseburger in Paradise can't match them!

Truly easy to make and totally worth heating up the fryer. I worked at Cane Creek Seafood in Hattiesburg, MS in the 90's and we went through tons of these. Simply drain dil hamburger chips, dredge in mixture of equal parts corn flour and finely ground corn meal, shake off excess, and fry until light golden brown. This produces a "frickle" that is not overly thick with breading.

In Vancouver BC [yes, yes, it's nowhere close to the east coast...]

Mr. Pickwick's Fish and Chips on Denman street does gorgeous deep fried dill spears to go with their delicious and rather posh take on F&C.
