Carla's Take Out & Seafood Market - Cheeseburger

Carla's Take Out & Seafood Market

You can't go to Digby and not get a feed of scallops, and what better place than an actual seafood…read moremarket? When my wife and I showed up on a Saturday afternoon, I was in luck because the scallops and fish combo was one of the daily specials, clocking in at just $21! My other half, not being a big seafood person, opted for a cheeseburger. Having arrived well after the main lunch crowd, we had our food in quick order and ate indoors, taking a break in their AC. My plate of brown, deep-fried goodness wasn't exactly a poster child for the Canada Food Guide, but it sure was good! The scallops had a light dusting of breading before hitting the fryer, and they were a perfect doneness - not too soft, and not at all rubbery. Being minimally adorned as they were, the sweetness of the scallops took its rightful spot at centre stage. The fish portion of the plate was comprised of three small filets of haddock, with a light breading on the exterior. I do prefer a crisp, airy beer batter, but the quality of the fish stole the show, as it flaked easily in solid chunks, but wasn't mushy or shredding to tiny bits. It was one of those times where the fish was so good that I only used the tartar sauce for my fries. Said fries were the standard, from-frozen fries that I think of as "diner fries", but they were good and crisp on the outside, with fluffy interiors, so they were about as good as they can be. On the upside, the fries acted as a delivery mechanism for one of the best tartar sauces I've ever had! Heavy on the minced pickle chunks, the tartar sauce had a sweetness to it that reminded me of mustard pickles (in the best possible way). When a place does a simple thing like this so well, it really make all the others that just do packets of Kraft look even worse. Although far from being the star of the show, my wife's cheeseburger was a solid, diner-style burger. Carla's was just what I was looking for while in Digby - down home style seafood that's well-executed without pretension.

How could we pass through Digby without trying some scallops? After all it's known as the "scallop…read morecapital of the world", and this is apparent from the many fishing boats in the picturesque harbour. Wanting a quick lunch rather than a fancy meal this place looked ideal. It was. I thought it was only takeout but they do have a dining room, where we sat. Order at the counter and they bring it when ready, but it's not full service. We both got a fried scallop plate, served with fries, coleslaw, and homemade tartar sauce. The scallops were very large, absolutely fresh, and with a light batter. Generous portion size. The fries were decent and the tartar sauce was interesting, heavy on the pickles. Coleslaw light and tangy rather than creamy, but as usual in seafood platters, not enough. There's also fish&chips, shrimp, and a few things like burgers for non-seafood-lovers. And poutine! There's also a seafood market next door. Lots of options. Since we were traveling fresh fish wasn't needed but I did buy some dried salt cod; I can't seem to resist when I see it. Now I need to figure out what to do with it.
