I went to the Hampton Beach Seafood Festival. It is held at Hampton Beach NH. It is a beautiful beach with shops along the way and a couple of arcades. This year it was September 6th to the 8th.
I try to go every year, at least the few years that I have been living in MA. It has been going on for 35 years but I have only been going to it in the last few years.
It is a lot of fun. They don't have just seafood but also crafts and shops and non-seafood items too. It was about 12 dollars to get in. One wore a wristband to indicate that one paid to get in.
There was a concert on the beach. One could hear them from all over. The shops were along the festival were also open. One can food and items at the shops. I think there was something for everyone; even if one doesn't eat seafood.
There was a lot of people who attended this year. The festival draws a lot of people each year. I plan to go next year too.
I arrived midway to the event. I was able to find a parking spot close to it. It cost me 20 dollars but I didn't mind since I couldn't walk too far.
It was an over cast day but still pretty nice. I didn't mind since I burn easily in an overly sunny day. There was a nice breeze there too.
I had some shrimp. I put some cocktail sauce on them. the price wasn't bad for 6 big ones. It was very good.
I had six small oysters for about 15 dollars. they were small but still pretty good. I put cocktail sauce on them.
I got the lobster Rangoon for 10 dollars. They were really good. I like the sauce I dipped them in.
I got bacon wrapped scallops. There were 9 dollars. I left a 1 dollar tip. The bacon was crispy and the scallops were tender. I think that is a good combo. it was really tasty.
I got the fried mushrooms. they weren't as crunchy as I hoped but still very good. in the background is the sauce I dipped them in. it was really good with the sauce.
After eating all of the above, I was out of room in my tummy and out of money. It was totally worth going.
