Craig Fear (a fellow a-fish-ionado in western Mass and cookbook author) and I embarked to Providence with an edible “wish list”. Craig’s wish list included 1) experience a couple of variations of the Rhode Island-style chowder as research for his new cookbook on seafood soups, and 2) check out Providence’s hottest new club - I mean fish market! It’s called Fearless Fish Market.
My wish list items were to 1) try the fried dogfish sandwich at Dune Brothers, and 2) visit the newer location of one of my favorite restaurants, North.
To ensure the South Shore can savor locally caught lobsters and fresh fish at a reasonable price, Bernie drives into the thicket of Boston every Friday and every Saturday, picks up quality lobsters from the same three boats and brings them back to the customers waiting for him in the parking lot of 1095 Bedford Street in Whitman. Whitman knows him as "The Lobster Guy".
When he started his oyster farm in Wellfeet, some disapproving Fleetians made it known to him that he was considered a "Wash-A-Shore" (considered to be a derogatory term). Embracing his new title, Cummings named the business Wash-A-Shore Oyster Ranch. These famous Wellfleets are demanded by top restaurants in Boston and NYC, among other cities.
