Lunch at Outlaw’s Seafood and Grill, Rock

We visited on 31st May 2013.  This was somewhere that had been on my list for a some time because of my love of seafood. What made this visit extra special was the weather. The sun shone and we were able to sit out on the terrace overlooking the estuary and enjoying some rather nice wine.  I’d love to revisit Nathan Outlaw’s restaurant, now relocated to Port Issac, and sample more of his creations.
