Cape Ann dining tips

·

Wingaersheek fills by 10 AM on summer Saturdays -- plan lunch at a Gloucester restaurant after the beach rather than trying to find parking twice.

·

Lobsta Land on Route 127 is the local move for the lobster roll -- avoid the more touristy spots on Gloucester harbor front.

·

Roy Moore's in Rockport is cash only and seats about 12 people -- a bucket-list Cape Ann meal. Get there before noon.

·

Gloucester's Portuguese fishing heritage is genuine -- the kale soup and the bacalhau at any of the Portuguese-owned downtown spots is the real Cape Ann flavor.
