Two Little Fish, Westerly

Brothers-in-law Tim Brennan and Kevin Urbonas both grew up on the Connecticut shoreline, and both spent their younger years working at a neighborhood fish shack. In 1997, the pair put all that experience to good use by opening Two Little Fish and growing it into a local institution. Today, resting beach-side in Misquamicut, the family-run restaurant plates up all sorts of seafood specialties, including award-winning fish and chips, clam fritters, and deep-fried sweet sea scallops. Though they haven't yet run for local office, the lobster rolls are a very popular pick, too: they can be prepared hot and sautéed in clarified butter or cold and mixed with mayo on a bed of lettuce.
