Newport Restaurant Week returns No-vember 6-15 with dozens of restaurants

offering three-course lunches for $16 and three-course dinners for $35. Sponsored and organized by Discover Newport, Restaurant Week gives culinary stars a chance to show their chops with many chefs creating mouth-watering dishes from the products of local farms.

A toast to the culinary scene throughout Newport and Bristol County, Restaurant Week has become a favorite for the casual diner and the gourmand, and its popularity has led to both fall and spring versions. In its tenth year, Restaurant Week includes an extensive calendar of events including food and wine pairings, beer dinners, food oriented walking tours, seminars, cooking classes led by some of the area’s bests chefs and more.

Some of Newport’s newer restaurants get in on the fun such as the Midtown Oyster Bar on Thames Street and Caleb & Broad on Broadway. The dining establishments range from Diego’s on Bowen’s Wharf to classic Newport restaurants such as LaForge Casino Restaurant on Bellevue Avenue.

During the autumn season when the grapevines are waiting to be harvested and the air is crisp, it’s even more fun to take a tour of Greenvale Vineyards in Portsmouth or Newport Vineyards in Middletown. Enjoy a wine tasting or make a day of it with lunch on the vineyard grounds. On the

weekend you can add to your fun with music at either location. Both vineyards will begin harvesting some time in October, and this adds even more enjoyment to

tours. Both host music each weekend and often hold special events, with harvest celebrations on the agenda in the fall.

Newport Vineyards, located at 909 East Main Road, has transformed itself into an ultimate tourist destination, offering wine tastings, musical events, and two food experiences, all set on 60 acres of lush vineyards. All this has happened just in time for the 20th anniversary of this popular location.

With just about the best waterfront view in town, indoor and outdoor seating

for over 500, musical entertainment and a vintage Newport seafood menu, The Land-ing Restaurant has it all. Located dockside at 30 Bowen’s Wharf, The Landing has a commanding view of Newport Harbor and boasts the best sunsets in town.

A landmark family business, The Landing was established in 1978 as one of Newport’s few “outside” dining establishments. Over the past year or two it has expanded to include a variety of dining spaces including Newport’s newest waterfront bar and patio where you are literally sitting on top of the water.

The Landing serves lunch and dinner daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. featuring Newport’s freshest seafood, lobster and steaks. Whether you want a cup of New England’s famous clam chowder and a sandwich or a full lobster dinner, the menu has something for everyone. A walk-up raw bar is available all day featuring fresh local shellfish.

On a beautiful fall day you can enjoy drinks and meals on one of The Landing’s dockside patios or the second floor deck with a panoramic view of the

harbor. If you’re more of the indoor type, dining inside the restaurant almost feels like dining outside, as huge French doors open onto the magnificent harbor scene.

The Landing hosts special events of all kinds, birthday celebrations, busi-ness meetings, wedding receptions and rehearsal dinners. On Wednesday, Friday and Saturday nights, DJs spin music in the restaurant’s Waterfront Room. As weather permits, they also have acoustic guitarists perfoming on the waterfront patio daily. For dinner reservations or information call 401-847-4514. You can access The Land-ing’s menu at: www.thelandingrestaurant-newport.com.

Athalia of Newport Produces One-of-a-Kind JewelryTucked away on historic Franklin Street near the

Newport waterfront, Athalia of Newport is a trea-sure chest full of handcrafted jewelry and unusual artisan crafts. Under the direction of owner Emily Hirsch, this lovely shop on the side street next to the city’s main post office off Thames Street dazzles visi-tors with unique items, from Emily’s singular jewelry to photography on wood and metal.

Athalia is first and foremost a jewelry gallery featuring Emily’s honest to goodness one-of-a-kind necklaces, bracelets and earrings. “I’ve made over 14,000 unique pieces over the past 13 years,” Emily says. “They become unique to the individual who buys them. They are the only person wearing it.” Her line includes a series of items with nautical Newport themes and Island Girl jewelry, but it varies widely. Most of her creations utilize sterling silver, semi-precious stones or occasionally vintage components. “Whatever I’m making,” Emily says, “I’m thinking of it as artwork for one person.”

She has enhanced the shop by inviting several artists and artisans to display their work including lcoal photographers Jason Michalski and Melissa Quintal. She also hosts friends she has made over the years of selling her work at festivals in New England. Stefanie Marco, for instance, shows painting on tiles; Theresita Design has hand-painted ceramics in the shop; and Emily’s sister, Suzanne Grockie, who lives in Vermont, exhibits her photography. She even has Spindrift artisan soaps by Colby Field.

Emily grew up in Connecticut and earned a degree at the University of Rhode Island. “I always wanted a shop in Newport,” she says. “I want to share my work and high quality art made by hand, which is why I have these artists in the shop.”

Athalia of Newport, located at 26 Franklin St., is open Tuesday to Thursday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday and Saturday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday noon to 5 p.m. Call 401-619-5639.

Historic Cemetery Tour High-lights New Bedford HistoryOn Sunday, October 4, the New Bedford Preservation

Society will present a tour of Pine Grove Cemetery with guides in period costume at the gravesites of the city’s historic notables along the tour route.

Many residents of the city’s north end and numerous World War I veterans are interred at Pine Grove as are former Mayor Leo H. Carney and Bishop “Daddy” Charles H. Grace, leader of the United House of Prayer for All People. An elaborate mausoleum was constructed there after his death in 1963. The smallest of the city-owned cemeteries, comprised of approximately 50 acres, it was opened in the 1890s.

Cemeteries have been called outdoor museums and windows to the past. They serve as a resting place for the departed and tell us much about the times in which they lived.

Guided walking tours led by society volunteers will step off from the cemetery maintenance building at the end of the front entrance drive every 10 minutes beginning at 11 a.m. The last tour will leave at 1 p.m. The tour route covers approximately one mile in a one-hour walk. Tickets are $18 and may be purchased at the Pine Grove Cemetery on the day of tour. A $3 discount will be given to New Bedford Preservation Society members. Rain date is October 11.

A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the society’s Captain Daniel Drayton Grave Restoration Project, which raises funds to preserve deteriorated markers. Drayton was a coastal trader determined to help slaves escape from the south to freedom aboard his ship, the “Pearl.” His efforts eventually cost him his family, his liberty and his health. He died in New Bedford in 1857 a broken man. His grave is in need of immediate repairs, and the Preservation Society has sought partners to match its contribution to honor this forgotten abolitionist hero. The rededication of the monument is scheduled for the spring 2016. Dona-tions to the project can be made on the society’s website, www.nbpreservationsociety.org.

Remember to “SAVE THE DATE” for the society’s 24th Annual Holiday House Tour on December 12 and 13. Visit historic homes all decked out for the holidays! Please call the New Bedford Preservation Society office at 508.997.6425 or visit the website for more information.

Foodies come in all sizes and shapes, but what can you say about folks who love to take high

heat and eat crazy and wild meats? You can tell them to go to the Newport Jerky Company at 424 Thames St., or you can send them to the shop’s new location at 125 Swinburne Row in the Brick Marketplace.

In business since March 2014 , Newport Jerky Company caters to unusual tastes. From whiskey-flavored beef jerky to alligator jerky and a surprising range of other meat jerky, this shop seems to know no snacking bounds. Try these on for size: elk, kangaroo, python. They have them all and more.Object to meat of any kind? No problem. They have an assortment of seafood jerky and even a vegan jerky. No kidding…

Owned and operated by former mortgage brokers Jay Souza and Derek Medico, Newport Jerky Company turned some heads in Newport when it opened. It also caused some to shake their heads in disbelief. But here they are, less than two years later with a second, larger location, an expanded inventory and lots of hot ideas. Interested in a Cricket Sucker? Okay, it’s a lollipop with a cricket inside. How about some Road Kill summer sausage.

They partnered with Narragansett Beer last year for a Narragansett Lager jerky. This year they’ve developed a wine and herb jerky in col-laboration with Newport Vineyards, and you can buy it at either location, at Newport Vineyards or online. Next time you visit Newport’s Brick Alley Pub, ask for a bloody Mary with Newport Jerky’s own hot sauce.

Newport Jerky stocks an assortment of the hottest hot sauces, crazy flavored peanuts, drink mixers, condiments, marinades and rubs. They

also recently added their own homemade line of nuts for heated snacking.

Jason says he and Derek came up with the idea after visiting a country store in New Hamp-shire with their families. “They were selling things we hadn’t seen anywhere else,” Jason says. “So, Derek and I thought it over and came up with this business idea.”

They’ve arranged with a friend in Nevada to prepare the wide variety of jerky they sell. Jason says they have the meat shipped to him, send him the recipes they’re looking for, and he prepares and ships small batches on the spot. Nothing is mass produced or sitting in a ware-house somewhere.

So, who’s buying this exotic stuff? Jason says the range of customers they’ve attracted has surprised him. “I thought it would be mostly young people, you know, the college crowd, but we’ve had people of all ages from kids to people in their 80s,” he said. “It’s an adventure.”

Newport Jerky Company takes orders online at newportjerkycompany.com, where you’ll discover even more unusual treats. Call them at 774-644-2350.

New Bedford was one of the most important centers of textile production in the world at its peak in the early 1900s. The industry began in the city in 1846 and lasted until the 1980s. The legacy of this long and eventful history continues to affect the city today. In addition to the Preservation Society, the city of New Bedford has a number of other active historical groups that conduct research and run various programs. Here’s a partial listing: New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park, 33 William St.; 508-996-4095. Congress established this urban national park in 1996 to preserve and interpret the story of America’s whale fishery during the 19th Century and New Bedford’s role in the nation’s maritime history. The park consists of a 13-block, 34-acre district in downtown New Bedford adjacent to its working waterfront. The National Park Visitor Center has displays and exhibits dealing with that history. A rear gallery also highlights the works of local artists and photographers with a focus on local cultural and maritime themes.

The Azorean National Maritime Heritage Society at The New Bedford Whaling Museum, 18 Johnny Cake Hill; 508-997-0046. Founded in New Bedford in 1997, the Society works in partnership with the New Bedford Whaling Museum to preserve the contributions of Azoreans to American whaling in the Whaling Museum’s Azorean Whaleman Gallery.

Fort Taber Historical Association, Inc., 1000C Rodney French Blvd.; www.forttaber.org.

Yumi Garden in Middle-town. In less than one year of operation, this addition to the Asian dining scene has made a name for itself with a buffet that has over 200 items arranged on several steam tables. And that’s not all. This new restaurant includes a sushi bar and hibachi grill as well as every dish you could imagine at an Asian restaurant.

Located at 872 West Main Rd. in Middletown in the shopping center where the Home Depot is located, Yumi Garden opened in October 2014 and it has already caught the eye of locals who love Asian food. Much larger than it appears from the outside, this nicely designed restaurant can seat up to 200 customers, and it has a lovely banquet room that seats up to 50 for private functions.

Luncheon specials are priced at $5.95. Dinner platters start at $7.95, luncheon buffet is available for $8.95 and dinner buffet for $13.95. At dinner or lunch, they feature many Asian restaurant favorites like Lo Mein, Pepper Steak, Sesame Chicken, General Tso’s Chicken and many more. The restaurant also serves salads, appetizers, desserts and varieties of soup including classic Wonton, Egg Drop, Hot and Sour and Seafood. There are a number of American dishes among the buffet and dessert items as well.

Sushi chefs prepare over 20 classic sushi dishes from California Roll, Eel and Cucum-

ber Roll to Spicy Tuna Roll and a Norwood Roll, which combines tuna, salmon and avocado. You can also have the Hibachi chef stir fry a variety of beef, shrimp, scal-lops, noodles and vegetables of your choice in different types of sauces based on your taste as well. This is all included in the buffet price. What a deal.

As you walk into Yumi Garden, you are greeted by a bright atmosphere with sooth-ing Asiatic music and walls filled with bub-bly water that changes color with different lighting. Partitioned walls provide areas for a quiet, relaxed dining experience.

Yumi Garden serves beer, wine and mixed drinks like the classic Scorpion bowl and The Volcano. The restaurant is open Monday to Saturday for lunch from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and for dinner Monday to Thursday 3:30 to 9:30. It stays open until 10:30 Friday and Saturday. It is open all day Sunday.

NEWPORT WELCOMES CRUISE SHIP PASSENGERSNewport is famous nationally and internationally for its historic architecture, its music festivals and its beautiful

summer climate. But the modern city has a reputation for more than history, sailing, beaches and music. Newport

is a dining and shopping destination for many, and the city lays out the welcome mat for tourists on cruises that stop

in Newport, especially in the fall.

Shopping in the city’s boutiques and specialty stores has the added value of beautiful scenery and distinct personali-

ties in different parts of town that are all within walking distance of one another. Whether you’re strolling the fashion-

able shops on Bellevue Avenue or wandering you’ll enjoy not just the shopping but the atmosphere. A totally different

experience awaits downtown along the wharves of Lower Thames Street, Christie’s Landing and at the Bowen’s Wharf.

Likewise with dining. Newport’s downtown restaurants run the gamut from seafood, of course, to Italian, Mexican,

Asian and American cuisine. Many of these restaurants boast magnificent waterfront views and many of them provide

outdoor dining on lovely autumn days. No matter which direction you take, Newport offers beautiful scenery, enjoyable

shopping, terrific dining and more.

History Breathes in Newport’s Grand BuildingsVisitors flock to Newport to see the famous

mansions such as The Breakers and Marble House, and this month you can enjoy special events at some of the mansion sites. But if you want a full taste of the history that Newport has to offer, you should also include several other kinds of sites on your itinerary.

Newport’s genuine charm resonates in its beautiful early public buildings and homes including Brick Market at the foot of Wash-ington Square, the Colony House at the head of the square, Touro Synagogue just up the hill towards Bellevue Avenue, and restored colonial homes hear the harbor. Just up the street from the synagogue, you’ll find the oldest lending library in the country in continuous use. The Redwood Library on Bellevue Avenue was built in 1747 mostly through the generosity of the merchant for whom it takes its name, Abraham Redwood.

The library started with a collection of 751 books. Today it has over 160,000 volumes including 90 percent of the original collec-tion. Redwood also houses the city’s largest collections of colonial portrait paintings.

The organization that owns the grand mansions, the Preservation Society of New-port County, also maintains several “lesser” properties, among them one of the city’s first “mansions.” Hunter House on Washington Street is one of the finest examples of Georgian Colonial architecture from Newport’s “golden age” in the mid-18th century. The house was built and decorated when Newport was a cosmopolitan city with a principle of religious tolerance that attracted Quakers, Baptists, Congregationalists and Sephardic Jews.

Another Preservation Society property, Kingscote, is a landmark of the Gothic Re-vival style in American architecture. Its appearance in Newport marked the beginning of the “cottage boom” that would distinguish the city as a laboratory for the design of picturesque houses throughout the 19th century.

The Isaac Bell House is one of the best surviving examples of shingle style architec-ture in the country. The house was designed by the firm of McKim, Mead and White in 1883 for Isaac Bell, a wealthy cotton broker and investor. An Italianate-style villa, Chepstow was built in 1860 by resident Newport architect George Champlin Mason as the summer residence of Edmund Schermerhorn. Find more about these houses at newportmansions.org or at discovernewport.com.

The Colony House at the head of Washington Square is just one of dozens of colonial era buildings in Newport.

Diego’s and The Wharf Pub, which sit across from one another on Bowen’s Wharf in Newport, each take a creative eye to a different cuisine.

Diego’s, a popular Mexican/West Coast fusion restaurant, opened seven years ago at 11 Bowen’s Wharf. The Wharf Pub, which specializes in down-home comfort food at 37 Bowen’s Wharf, debuted in 2013. They’ve become favorites of Newporters, especially in the shoulder seasons of autumn and the holidays. They’re also both great places to enjoy tasty and sometimes unusual appetizers along with creative cocktails and expansive beer and wine menus.

Open for lunch and dinner seven days a week, Diego’s tends towards lighter fare than at most Mexican restaurants, with a good number of seafood dishes including their popular fish tacos. They serve small plate specialties and entrees such as a Zesty Lamb Burrito and quesadillas that range from chicken to shrimp and even cauliflower. Seven appetizers are on the menu for lunch and dinner, as is their menu of salads and soups. The dinner menu includes many of the same lunch entrees and appetizers, but it’s taken to a higher level with entrees such as Blackened Local Catch of the day, hanger steak frites, those great loaded fish tacos, and unusual items like Korean BBQ pork belly tacos.

Diego’s is known for its creative cocktails featuring homemade syrups and purees, and they serve brunch from 9 to 1 Saturday and Sunday year round. Call 401-619-2640.

Owners Scott and Adrienne Kirmil bought the Wharf Deli across from Diego’s, at 37 Bowen’s Wharf, changed the name to the Wharf Pub and turned it into a rustic restaurant serving cool appetizers, great beer, eclectic wine and a comfort menu of soups, creative salads, burgers and entrees like chicken and waffles, fish & chips, Big Hoss Bone-in Pork Chop and more. They pride themselves on making all of their food from scratch and featur-ing as many local beers and ingredients as possible.

The lunch menu includes five kinds of tater tots, a raw bar, salads, burgers, beef slid-ers, a Salmon BLT, falafel, a Greek style turkey burger and more. Dinner entrees feature a 12-ounce sirloin, Statler chicken, Creole Buffalo Salmon and more.

They have over 100 beers including 20 drafts. With nearly as many wine choices and a list of 14 cocktail specialties, you can’t go wrong here. For good measure, The Wharf Pub hosts live music every weekend and open mic night on Tuesday from 8-11 p.m. The restaurant is open seven days from 11:30 a.m. until late. Call 401-619-5672

Exquisitely carved and life-like songbirds, raptors, waterfowl and other wildlife will be showcased at the Audubon Society of Rhode Island Bird and Wildlife Carving Exposition on November 7 & 8, 2015 at the Audubon Environmental Education Center, 1401 Hope Street (Route 114,) Bristol, Rhode Island.

Over 17 acclaimed and award-winning artists from throughout New England and the Northeast will exhibit their incredibly life-like carvings of birds and other wildlife throughout the facility. Carving demonstrations will be held. A wide selection of pieces ranging from beautiful hand-carved feather pins to larger works valued from the hundreds into the thousands of dollars will be of-fered for sale. Carvings by various artists will also be raffled off. For many collec-tors, this exposition is one of the most admired in New England.

The two- year, multi million dollar expan-sion added 17,000 square feet of space, in-cluding a new tasting room that opens onto the vineyard, two restaurants, and new production facilities. Newport Vineyards also boasts a 53- kilowatt solar array, a pellet stove that burns vineyard clippings, and radiant floor heating, making it one of the greenest vineyards in New England.

With an open design that makes the vineyards visible from nearly every spot in the facility, visitors connect with the land while sipping Newport Vineyards’ wine. “We want people to know that wine starts with farming,” says co- owner Paul Nunes. “Our guests are fascinated by the vineyard because for many of them, it is a new experi-ence. They get to ask questions. They leave with a deeper appreciation for their wine.”

The largest producer of grapes in New England, Newport Vineyards has won numerous awards for a variety of their products including gold medals at major competitions on the east coast. Its most re-cent awards came at the Atlantic Seaboard Wine Competition when it captured the gold medal and Best in Category prizes for its Great White and Pinot Gris.

Newport Vineyards offers tours daily at 1 and 3 p.m., which include a wine tasting. Every Saturday morning the vineyard hosts the Aquidneck Grower’s Market outdoors in good weather and indoors in winter. Newport Vineyards also hosts music each weekend and lots of special events includ-ing comedy performances.

Located three miles from downtown Newport on Route 138 (909 East Main Rd.), Newport Vineyards is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. except Sunday, when they open at noon. Find out more at www.new-portvineyards.com or call 401-841-5161.

Greenvale Vineyards, at 582 Wapping Road, Portsmouth, was voted Portsmouth’s Business of the Year last year. It is open

for sales and tasting Monday through Sat-urday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Vineyard tours take place at 2 p.m. It’s about six miles from downtown Newport. Heading east on East Main Road (Route 138) turn right at Braman’s Lane and take the second right to Wapping Road. Heading west on 138 requires a left turn onto Braman’s Lane. Call 401-847-3777.

Held in the same family’s ownership since 1863, Greenvale Vineyards is a hallmark of open space conservation and dedication to historic preservation. The fifth generation of the Parker family oper-ates the vineyard today, making wonderful wine, offering education about agriculture and preservation, and spicing it up with great jazz on Saturday afternoons.

Greenvale’s Saturday jazz concerts are legenedary. Featuring some of the re-gion’s best jazz musicians and singers, the concerts include wine tasting from 12:30 to 3:45. The music runs from 1 to 4 p.m. Over the years these concerts have become

summer highlights for local residents and visitors with performances by some of the region’s best jazz musicians and singers including Michael Renzi, Jody Ebling, Daryl Sherman, Dave Zinno, Dan Moretti and others.

The restored stick-style barn, designed by Boston architect John Sturgis in 1863, creates a unique venue for the music. Re-lax there or outside while listening to the music. At this time of year you can bring along a picnic lunch and relax and sip Greenvale’s wine under a tall shade tree near the barn. Scottish Highland steers give adjacent fields a landscape painter’s view. Take a stroll among the vines while the sun brings the aroma of the grapevines and the soil to a full bloom.

Touring the vineyards offers a lesson in wine preparation, agriculture and man-agement as guides explain the varieties of grapes being bred for various wines. Caber-net Franc, for instance, spends from seven months to a year in French and American oak and is a perfect summer red. Their Skipping Stone White, a blend of Cayuga and Vidal Blanc, which is light, aromatic and refreshing, was featured in Gourmet.

Each season Greenvale adds to its plant-ings to increase production, which reaches more than 70 tons of grapes and 4,000 cases of wine. Greenvale is part of the Coastal Wine Trail promotion, which includes several other southern New England vine-yards. Visiting each of them makes you eli-gible for great prizes. Find out more about that and Greenvale’s many attractions on their website and through their new blog: www.greenvale.com/blog.

K E N W O O D V I N E Y A R D S

People in the N ewport area have known about Anthony’s Seafood in Middletown

for a long time, but the word began circulat-ing around the country in late 2012 when this signature local seafood restaurant and market was featured on the Food Network’s “Diners, Drive-in and Dives.”

How did Guy Fieri, the host of the show, find Anthony’s? Word of mouth, which isn’t surprising. Devoted customers share the experience with friends, and in this case, many of them reviewed the restaurant on-line. The show’s producers read the reviews, and the rest is history.

Speaking of history, Anthony’s was founded in 1956 by Anthony Bucolo as a seafood company on a wharf in downtown Newport. Today Anthony’s on Aquidneck Avenue in Middletown includes a retail seafood market, wholesale seafood distibu-tion and a vintage seafood shack all run by his sons, Stephen and Michael Bucolo. The one historical mainstay for Anthony’s: Everything is the freshest you can buy.

All the local fresh fish sold at Anthony’s and served in the restaurant is shipped daily from the fishing fleet in New Bedford. They also “import” southern Mahi Mahi and grouper flown in fresh. “We have always been a fam-ily business because that’s what my father wanted,” says Stephen. “And that means we’re price conscious as well. Fresh product at good prices has been the key to our success.”

As further proof of the trust placed in Anthony’s Seafood by local residents, the Bucolos also operate a wholesale seafood business that sells to many of the best res-taurants in Newport. Anthony’s has won awards for its restaurant food from Yankee magazine, Newport Life magazine, and The Mercury, among others.

The restaurant provides a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere similar to an old time seafood shack or shore dinner hall. While the menu emphasizes seafood, An-thony’s also serves burgers, chicken tenders, buffalo chicken and eggplant parmesan en-trees, so you can take your finicky friend or relative with you and still enjoy classic fried seafood or whatever you like best.

Anthony’s serves all the classic New England fried seafood dishes including clam strips and whole belly fried clams, a fisherman’s platter, fried shrimp and a terrific fish & chips. Dinner entrees include baked scallops, scrod or sole, Atlantic salmon, swordfish and more. For lunch or dinner you can enjoy an array of sandwiches including grilled tuna, a grilled salmon burger or fish taco.

Of course, in Newport you would not have a seafood restaurant that does not serve lobster, and you can get delicious fresh lobster in several styles and sizes at An-thony’s, including a mouth watering lobster roll. The Shore Dinner is the big winner at Anthony’s. It includes two pounds of Maine steamers and Prince Edward Island mus-sels, plus all the fixings. And you can add lobster to it if you really want to celebrate.

The restaurant menu includes grilled fish on a salad with either swordfish, tuna, salmon or shrimp, and there are plenty of appetizers to please everyone from New England clam chowder to Rhode Island’s own clear version of chowder and a Portu-guese fish chowder as well as calamari or other treats. For those who don’t mind try-ing something different, follow Guy Fieri’s advice and give the Kung Pao calamari a chance. It’s spicy but not too hot.

From a classic New England Shore Din-ner to fresh clams, cod filet or other seafood for sale at retail, Anthony’s Seafood knows every aspect of the seafood business. If you’re planning a clambake, you’ll find everything you need at Anthony’s seafood market. If you’re looking for a great seafood dinner after a hard day’s work but you don’t have time to cook, Anthony’s sells prepared foods including chowders, stuffed lobster, scallops wrapped in bacon, stuffed shrimp, cod, salmon, swordfish and more. Planning a cocktail party, add something special with a shrimp platter.

Anthony’s Seafood restaurant and retail store are open seven days a week. Call ahead to confirm hours as they change seasonally.
