Lewis Seafood

Lewis Seafood is our go to place for shrimp + seafood + lunch during the summer. If you are staying at the cottage it is a fun bike ride from the cottage to the shack. In the summer they are open most days of the week but the true star is their food truck, Lewis Seafood Shack. The food truck is cash only but they will give you cash back at the counter. There are cute picnic tables to enjoy your food out back on the water. We love the snapper taco + taco bowl the best. The orzo salad is worth skipping (the serving size is super tiny).
