5/5 stars!
Hidden Gem Alert Cap'n Dave's Fish and Chips on Keene Road is a MUST-VISIT! Tucked away in the Ace Hardware parking lot, this unassuming spot serves up mouthwatering eats.
The Highlights Friendly and attentive service Delicious food cooked to perfection in 100% beef tallow Coleslaw: 5/5 (creamy and tangy!) Fish: 5/5 (flaky and flavorful!) Clam Chowder: 5/5 (rich and savory!) Tartar Sauce: BEST. EVER.
The Best Part? NO GREASY FEELING! Cap'n Dave's masters the art of fried food without the soggy aftermath.
Quick Service Only 10 minutes from ordering to devouring - impressive!
Ambiance Two cozy picnic tables outside provide a charming spot to enjoy your meal.
A Note to the ONE Haters in the reviews Saw a review complaining about them running out of an item? Come on, folks! This is a small, family-run food truck, not a massive chain restaurant with a HUGE storage area! They prep fresh daily, and sometimes that means selling out. Don't penalize them for being authentic and small-batch!
Verdict Cap'n Dave's Fish and Chips is a hidden gem. Don't miss out! Highly recommended for anyone craving authentic, expertly...

We had fish and chips and clam chowder.
Fish and chips were excellent. The fish was tender and seemed of good quality; flaky and stark white cod. The coating was crispy, relatively thin and didn't overwhelm the taste of the fish with grease. The chips were crinkle fries and were well cooked. I give the fish and chips a 5 out of 5.
The clam chowder was interesting. A little different than most varieties I have had. It was very thick...almost like a stew. The flavor was pretty good (Worcestershire in there?) but my personal preference was it needed a little bit of milk or cream. That said, it definitely was hearty. Lots of clams and potatoes. I give it a 4 of 5.
The service was good. The lady who took our order was friendly. Their were two picnic tables to eat at. The weather was good for eating outside but I expect most days we would just eat in the car.
Overall I give a 5.
Edit: Forgot to mention the tarter sauce was...
