"cod fish carry" news and stories

We're getting close to the end of the Lobster Festival, but there's still time for some more pics of all the great food, people, and weird events. It's interesting how really good all the festival food is. The purveyors get the freshest local ingredients they can. I have watched behind the scenes at many of the food booths and have seen the ingredients used, and the hard work being done, as they continually prep and make the food to order.

The fried seafood booth starts with fresh scallops, shrimp, etc. and breads them and fries them as you wait. It's frantic in there, but also choreographed as the family practically dance around each other as they work.

Today there are several events that I plan to attend. One is the children's cod carry contest, the other is the children's lobster eating contest. I have been warned that both can get pretty messy and to stand back so I don't end up wearing anything that I would prefer not too. I'll stick to the milder pics because some of them are a bit messy for Slashfood.
