How often do you shop at a grocery store? Once a week? So, some of that food is a week old when you cook it. Local restaurants get daily deliveries.

Okay but who's to say the daily, deliveries aren't coming from a refrigerated, warehouse? Just sayin'
My wife and I go shopping several times a week and going out is a treat for us and we gladly pay to be waited on.

When a restaurant receives seafood from a reputable purveyor, it comes with a best by date, that date for perishable seafood is often 4 days or less. That doesn’t leave a lot of room for “what if the weather....”. Cut them some slack and be happy that they are sold out of perishable items on occasion. If they served you bad product your vengeance on the forum would be two fold. Breathe deep.

That's exactly why great seafood places are great (like pops) and others are good, bad or average. Especially for seafood far more than other types of restaurants.

I would much rather be told they ran out than have them serve old ones!!

Regardless of the reason or if their reason is valid. I find it Hilarious that POPS CLAM SHELL ran out of clams!

This past weekend we had some AWESOME dining experiences. First stop was the Nazwa and food/service was excellent. Second stop was Surfside Burger Bar at Weirs Beach. Service was great and the burger was one of the best I ever had. A pretty good close match to 5 guys which is my favorite. I highly recommend it. We will definitely be back there. Last stop, Guiseppe’s. Had a delicious pizza and service was great.
