headed to iggys, seen so much about this place on tv we thought we'd try


saw this cow at dockside seafood. there was no dock, no water and they may sell seafood LOL


iggys was mobbed, typical i'm told.

the doughboys are kinda like portuguese fired dough but a bit sweeter. we selected the confectioners sugar to roll ours into.

i only wanted to sample the white chowder and have a clamcake. well i saw they had lobster rolls so i got a dinner of that (to compare it to 6 other places i've tried in the past week(.

we had enough for our dinner LOL
