Dune brothers, which gets good reviews for seafood, to open on Ives St in Fox Point and also in the new food court in the old train station.

Their lobster rolls were $35 when I just looked it up- very pricey!! But they also offer fish and chips, etc.

We actually just went last night. The fish sandwich is incredible. The chowder and clam cakes are a solid combo too. Those things (along with the fish and chips) seem to be their bread and butter. The lobster roll didn’t look impressive for $36 (though that price isn’t all that unusual anymore).

I’m excited for the Ives St. Location.

Good to know! We'll definitely try the fish and chips.

Holly, they leave the skin on the fish there. Nasty, IMO.

Holly's a grown adult who can make her own decisions. Quit being so bossy and have some respect. Besides it would be cold by the time she got home, assuming she could find parking.

Wow somebody get up on the wrong side of the bed today?


I don't see how making a recommendation is "bossy" and disrespectful. I'm assuming she doesn't get fish & chips often, which if the case she shouldn't settle for anything less than the best.



Who said she was bringing it home? They have tables in there, and one could also plan a picnic if a nice day.

Why would you assume anything like that?

"Holly, get your fish & chips from Amaral's" sure sounded like an order to me, particularly since she didn't ask for recommendations. She's excited to go to Dune, sorry that bothers you.

sandsonic, you've made it clear that you're all about the mom-and-pop fish & chips places. That's exactly what Amaral's is. Dune Bros, on the other hand, is corporate...or at least backed by. It's certainly not mom-and-pop.

As for Holly's alleged excitement, I'd guess that she wasn't aware that Dune Bros leaves the skin on the fish.

Leaving skin on the fish is nasty.

Btw, lobster rolls were $55 in coastal Maine 2 years ago, probably up to 60 bucks by now. 36 sounds like a bargain.
