Louie's Seafood, Raynham, MA

We went for a long bike ride along the East Bay Bike Path in Warren, Barrington, and Riverside, RI, yesterday. It was a hot day and we did about 15 miles, so sadly, we were not hungry enough to eat at one of the several interesting restaurants in the funky town of Warren. So we headed out, driving back into Massachusetts through towns such as Swansea, Dighton, Rehoboth, and Taunton.

Because it was July 4th, few restaurants were open, and the ones that were either looked sketchy or were chains, which we didn't want to do. So we continued into Raynham, and came across a little seafood shack called Louie's Seafood. We ordered a haddock basket, calamari, and chicken, and grabbed an outdoor picnic table on their deck. Well, the food at Louie's turned out to be really good, especially the calamari, which was fried but not too greasy.

While I wouldn't put Louie's Seafood in the same category as Tony's Clam Shop in Quincy, Woodman's in Essex, or the Lobster Pool in Rockport, it was definitely worth going to, and capped off a fine day in Southern New England on the 4th of July.
