Eating at Freds has been an extended family tradition for just about as long as I can remember…read more Family travelling between PEI, NB and beyond often make a point of stopping here. Since the diversion highway opened, a little side trip is needed but you're not taken far out of your way. A family diner, Fred's has quite a varied menu but their focus is seafood and, in our family at least, the most popular dish is the battered & fried whole clams. The prices have gone up considerably since last there but the servings are quite large for the most part. The restaurant is large, bright & clean. I suspect in the sumer they likely get a few coach tours stopping by. On this day there were a few locals dining and maybe a traveller or two. It had been a few years since we last stopped here but this day we found it to be every bit as good as remembered. Two of us shared the large fried clam platter and one had the hot turkey sandwich. Each meal came with a huge serving of fries, more then any of us could finish, coleslaw and fresh homemade dinner rolls. The whole clams were lightly battered, fried to a light crisp and not at all greasy. The fries, I believe, were from frozen but done nicely. The tartar sauce was Kraft pre packaged. The hot turkey sandwich came covered with gravy, assuming made in house but not sure, and peas. Though there was no room for dessert, we left with a piece of house made butterscotch pie which was enjoyed much later. Recommend the detour in to Cap Pele if you are feeling a bit peckish or have a hankering for seafood. Go with a big appetite or someone to split an order with. And you might want to wait til the food coma passes before you get back behind the wheel.

Our order: bacon wrapped scallops, seafood chowder, lobster roll, steamed mussels…read more Oh my word. The seafood chowder is as advertised - the best! Creamy and filled to the brim with fruits of the sea. Just when I thought there had to be potatoes in my spoon, my mouth was met with scallops on scallops on scallops. I love the way the restaurant prepared their lobster, minimally, as to preserve the natural texture and flavor of the ocean. The fries are made from locally grown potatoes, fried to crisp on the outside, starchy and squishy on the inside. The bacon tightly wrapped around the scallops, adding a sweet and salty note to a soft pillow. The mussels were bouncy meaty but was paired with a white wine sauce infused with an herb that we were not fans of (perhaps tarragon?). The 15-20min wait was well worth the meal. The bustling environment was telling of its popularity among locals and tourists. Takeout available and it also sells and packages freshly captured seafood to go.

We also have the jr fried clams to give that a try for $16.99 (without fries). These were pretty good but a bit heavy in breading for us. All comes with a little tub of coleslaw. Everything packed to go as well. Would have appreciated a water station too since it's an order and pick up style place with no servers. Overall it was good and nice service (for what they do/ this style) but the lack of flavor and wasteful serving dishes etc brought my score down.

Careful not to accidentally drive past! We were greeted immediately upon entering and service remained very friendly and attentive throughout our stay. The food is tasty and portions are extremely generous for the price. We ordered a seafood chowder and the bowl was filled to the brim -- it turned out to be 2 bowls' worth of some of the best chowder on the island! I would highly recommend a stop here on your way in or out of PEI.
