If you can find the hidden chamber in your stomach, you can always finish off your lunch with one of a bazillion flavors of soft-serve ice cream. Oh, and I would be remiss if I forgot to mention that any Sea Swirl meal would be incomplete without a side of onion rings to share. My husband digs their clam roll and my parents regularly rotate through the scallop roll, lobster roll, and cheeseburger. Soft, fresh bun a generous portion of large, lightly fried scallops and a side of tartar sauce to add to your liking. I don’t deviate from my fave scallop roll because it’s just so gosh darn tasty. Unlike some of its counterparts, however, the food is really good. It’s a typical seasonal seafood shack, like many that dot the East Coast. Maybe my nostalgia for summers in Mystic colors my review, but I love Sea Swirl. Funny how we wanted something light, and ended up here! There are a lot of menu items that I’d love to try! I’m thinking this place will be a new favorite of ours. I don’t know what it was about that ice cream, but it was so delicious! I really hope we can make it back before they close for the season. Seriously, so good! They were crispy on the outside, and smooth on the inside! Then we all shared a chocolate chip cookie dough freezie. She chowed down on them, and of course we had a few too. He said they were the best he’s eaten in a long time. My husband had the grilled fish tacos, and enjoyed them. I just added a little yellow mustard, because that’s how I like mine. It came on toasted bread, and wasn’t dry, but wasn’t soppy either. We were not at all disappointed! I had the tuna salad sandwich, which was great. We were heading to Mystic Soup Company, but they were randomly closed. We were hungry afterwards, but my husband wanted something light for lunch. Being new to the area, we of course had to visit Olde Mistick. We tried Sea Swirl for the first time yesterday, and it was actually by chance.
