Roland's Seafood Grill

Dinner at Roland's on November 19.

So greasy and huge! Yes, perfect for beer.

New England Clam Chowder - It's $5. So I thought it'd be served in a cup. I was totally wrong. Look at the plate. You can tell how big it is to compare with the spoon. I don't think it's homemade. But it's only $5 and coming with 3 pieces of Italian bread. I'll come back a day before payday.

Calamari

Fish Sandwich - The fish is huge. Believe of not, there were 2 pieces in the bun. I already had one before taking the picture.
