If it looks like I give Greenport all my attention, I'll have you know that tonight we are heading to the Summer Showcase Concert Series in Southold. Located at the Town Green (across from the IGA) and sponsered by Southold Town, these free concerts happen every Wednesday night starting at 7:30pm. Tonight the musical performance is The Is Ensemble . This is a jazz band featuring, among others, Kim Tetrault on Bass. If you read my tips you will know that Kim also runs the SPAT program at Cedar Beach helping locals raise oyster stock. It's looking to be a nice evening to sit outdoors and relax to some rocking jazz.
For dinner, we picked up take-out from Southold Fish Market, the best fish market on the NoFo. I really thought that this fact was public knowledge but more than one person has asked me where to pick up fresh fish lately so I'm putting it out there. Besides great local fish, oysters, bay scallops (fresh in season, but frozen now), and their signature baked clams, the market serves great take-out for lunch and dinner. I give their classics such as the fried whole belly clams with house made fries and the steamers served with broth and drawn butter high marks. Also good is the Fish Reuben and fish or shrimp tacos. Stock up on frozen soups (Seafood Gumbo and Seafood Cioppino are my favorites) and frozen baked clams while you are there. They are hearty and delicious - so nice to have on hand come fall when you need a quick dinner.
