Barnaby said of his team's victory that he was "as happy as a clam in the mud in low tide. It was really a good...
...Radcliffe Pottery Studio, now on show in the second floor exhibition area at Hilles. The stuff is good--especially the porcelain by Namhi Wagner. But the exhibit is spotty. For example, I've never really been able to get into ceramic feet (with pink toenails yet) with clam shells between the toes.

Downstairs, a full range of seafoods, broiled and fried, and all fresh, greets the seafood fan. (The broiled dishes are especially good in garlic butter.) Most dishes are reasonably priced--lobster, however, is quickly going out of sight. And a bucket of steamers always makes a good, inexpensive dinner. The fish chowder is also well worth...
