The Blue Mermaid


We've had some awesome food since we've been here in NH, one of the best being our meal from The Blue Mermaid in Portsmouth. We knew it would be "delish" because Rachel Ray made an appearance there for her "Tasty Travels" show.

We started off the meal with saddle bags, crispy wontons filled with chicken and cheese served with a ginger, soy dipping sauce. Jon had the salmon with a chipotle honey vinaigrette and cornbread, green beans and herb potatoes. I had the Chipotle curry paella, chicken, shrimp, sausage and mussels in chipotle curried rice. Yummmm.

We capped off the evening with a walk around the many small shops of downtown Portsmouth. It's a very cute town with a big variety of locally owned stores, and chains, in historic buildings. It started to rain, so we headed back to the car and back to Dover. We had dessert at the Cafe on the Corner, cheesecake and key lime pie. It was a fun and delicious evening.
