Okay, we got three Lob rolls,

platter, three fish and chips, chicken

fingers, onion rings, two fried

clams all day. Lets go people! -Okay, I got the Lob rolls.

-Ah guys, we do many platters.

-Get the drinks done, Mikail, -huh buddy!

-How are those clams, Seth?

-Golden Brown just the way you

like them, huh? Excellent, that's what I'm

talking about. -Come on people,

keep it going. Those look perfect. Is that

fish and chips with flounder or

with cod? -The cod fish!

-Mikail, I told you that we

eighty-sixed the cod.

I thought that was the flounder? -If it was the flounder, we

would have eighty-sixed the

flounder Ru. -Ha, ha, ha -Very funny with the sarcasm.

-It's easy. Alright, where are

the chicken -tenders, I got no, nevermind

got them. -I'm sure they're

right in the fridge. -How are we on time? How are we

on time?! We are at 58:35 guys,

pick up the pace this is the

home stretch. We can do this! -Guys, one more ticket left.

Here we go, wrap it up Mikail,

wrap it up for me baby. -Chicken tenders!

-Chicken tender in the window.

-Do you have all the condiments? -Alright, tell me when you're

ready. Tell me when you're done.

-Come on!! -Hang on, hang on, hang on.

-Boom!

-Tell me we got a record, -tell me we're under an hour.

-59:
45, personal best! -That's a record baby!

-Crush the fish!! -The onions! We forgot the

onions. -Seth, the onion rings again!

-How stupid can you be -Seth, how stupid can you be?!

-It could be my fault, I mean I,

I... -Well check on the tickets for

me. That's what you're suppossed

to . -Look, I can only be a

buffer. -You can't even follow up on

your tickets? I'm just saying.

-Shut up! Stop. That just cost us "The Golden

Scallop." Line it up and lets

run -it back.

-Lindsay, I no can do this

again. I have work in two hours. Hey Mitch, you gotta try one of

these fishwich. There's something fishy about

it. It's about as addictive as

the first season of "Hill Street Blues." I think

it's got nicotene in it. Hahaha. Splendid.

Well, the Martin Boys are back, winning the online vote

for great seafood from a mobile

location. The Caped Cod has committed

itself to quality and received

the invitation they have always wanted. And one of my

all time favorites, The Happy

Hooker has regained prominence.

-Having Lindsay back has -really, helped them, it's been

great. -Right now we're on our

way to the Lobster Tail, winner of the

eighth championship. 1976, what a year! The Judge never stops

researching. My nephew Mitch and I keep

scorecards. Evaluating

accuracy, flair in the kitchen, speed and of course taste. This being the 43rd

championship, it would be easy

for me to fall off my game, so I have to keep in prime eating

shape. I could never eat this

food if it wasn't in the name of the

championship. -Yea, that would

be, that would be impposible. I like to think of myself as

the HIghlander. With every meal I eat, I absorb

the power and become a stronger, more

accurate judge! The Judge gets his power from

food, not decapitations.

-I'm not afraid of death. I would eat fried clams until

Mitch here had to pry the last,

delicious morsel from my cold dead hand, if it

meant maintaining the integrith of the

championship. That's actually a scenario that

we've discussed. Many times. Two Caped Cod specials, with

slaw. You guys have a wonderful

meal and let me know if you

need anything. -Why not wear capes?

-We're on Cape Cod. That's what we asked ourselves

twelve years ago when we first

got into this business. And I

think the numbers really speak for

themselves. And this, is the

first year it's finally been rewarded

with a Golden Scallop

championship. Ths Fsh is Frsh. It's a slogan

I'm working on it utilizes consinents. It's a

literary thing, it's a work in

progress. It really is an honor to have

been seleceted by Judge

Wellington. We were beginning to think that

he didn't like us. But we have

no doubt that we're going to

win. None at all. We have attractive

young women, serving grerat

food at a reasonable rate, all while wearing capes.

I mean what's not to like about that?

-Well I don't like it... I LOVE

it. We do have the best staff

though, friendly, tight young girls serving the

food. And we have a wonderful

French chef, Marcel Depaul flown here for the summer. I

don't understand a word he says.

-Yea, we flew him in from

France. Oh and we have the most amazing

manager, Corey. He is just a dream and he's

been with us since the start. -If I was five years younger.

Haha. -If I was five years

younger. And not married, and gay. Oooh,

errrr. I'm going to be the tastiest

treat, Ooh fish the most delicious meat,

babidilly bahaha hooo hooo sizzle. Wyatt's drawing from

his seat and the Fishmonger can't be

beat. Wy-bidilly babooba oooh

oooh... -I like the sizzle part.

-Sizzle!! Hi, I'm Jake Martin and this is

my brother Wyatt Martin. -Hello. We are the proud co-owners and

co-operators of the smallest big deal in town.

The Fishmonger! The Capes only fried seafood restaurant on

wheels. -We couldn't afford a

stationary one. And we're just so happy to be

back here in The Golden Scallop

Championship, which is a competition that we were lucky

enough to be a part of ten

years ago. -Doug! Shut up.

-You ain't the boss of me!

-We have the movie cameras here. -It's embarassing. -Don't listen to him, he's
