Champlin's Seafood, Galilee, RI

You can even buy your own lobster right off the pier as the boats come in and have Champlins cook it for you. It does not get any fresher unless you cook it on the boat!

Wow.. sounds like I just might have fun in RI.. I heard it was a small state..

Thank you Motorcycle Mama, I am going to load your information in my gps

Thanks pcatch135 for the Lobster Buffet information

And thanks PaulATL.. That would be very fresh lobster indeed!!

Very small place to vist... I was asking many people that lived in RI what is a good site seeing place and they all told me they dont go anywhere.. very boring.

Anyways, I did find a few nice places to go.. We stayed in the province aera and did not go to newport since it was more than 45 min away. I want to thank all for your input .. it really did help.

We got to see a few things and even got our lobster that we wanted.. bte it tasted ust like Corn on the cob but very chewy. it is to taste like that? or was it cooked bad?

Anyways, Where ever we went, i loaded all the neat poi files here and they all worked great! It even told me where a few red lights cams were. So cool

Ok.. Again tank you aqll for your reat info for i did use it and found my way around ...

YOU GOT TO LOVE GPS!!!

Was it boiled or baked? It sounds like you might have had baked. Baked lobster gets kind of dry. BTW Red Lobster does not count for eating a lobster.

Next time you will have to go see the Newport mansions. That is the main attraction in RI besides fishing (and clean beaches).
