Champlin's Seafood Deck

256 Great Island Rd., Narragansett, RI - (401) 783-3152
While the fried clams are good, we were far more impressed by the fried flounder, a broad filet of sweet, moist meat encased in an elegant crust. The flounder is available by the piece or as half of a fish and chips plate. While the French fries on that plate are fine, we highly recommend substituting boiled red potatoes, which are cream-textured with an earthy spud flavor.

An only-in-Rhode Island specialty: snail salad. This one is cool, the slices of snail are sweet and tender, and the chopped vegetables add a bright variety of flavor, but we miss the garlic punch that usually characterizes this hors d'oeuvre.

A single piece of fried flounder. The meat has an ultra-fresh flavor and the crust is fine and fragile. An elegant hunk of fish!

I was stunned by the powerful hopsy taste of these thick-battered onion rings where, miraculously, the onion stays within its batter rather than slithering out at first bite.

Champlin's outdoor dining area offers a view of the fishing fleet as well as the omnipresent seagulls.

Good fried clams: nutty-rich, their bellies creamy-sweet, their crust fragile and savory.
