Great deck overlooking the boats in the canal. Very fresh food - right off the fishing boats next to your table. Order at a counter and food is produced hot from the kitchen for you to bring to an outdoor table on the deck. White Cap is down a driveway from the roadside and around the back of a boat yard, so don't pass it by. Loved the steamers (though a bit too sandy). Read more Read less

I was disappointed to see that the fried shrimp dinner I ordered was frozen and from a box, not fresh like I would have thought. The side of clams were ok but just a bit over fried. Im assuming those were frozen from a box also.The fried scallop dinner was good. I did see the fry cook using fresh sea scallops. I asked about the baked clams, if they were chopped or whole clams and the two young boys behind counter couldn't tell me anything about the clams. An older gentleman and woman finally came to take the order and were very pleasant. Read more Read less
