Bought an individual pie at the Captains fish shack in New London, had a sweet little local business sticker! Seems Very under the radar.
If you have an average normal palate, you will greatly enjoy this and think it's a nice little pie with cute handmade touches and an abundance of crust ; (a plus in my book!!!)
I didn't like it though...I got a gritty texture on my tongue from the crust. I associate this texture with Dunkin Donuts, as the same thing happens there. I believe this could be from using commercial lard with BHT preservative or maybe palm oil? I do know that when I bake with butter or lard from a local pig, this doesn't happen, and when I buy commercial frozen pie crust and avoid these ingredients, I don't get that texture. Either way it's a taste/texture all too common in commercial baking, and I loathe it. I also could personally do with a little less sugar in the fruit filling.
Again, I feel like if you are used to most commercial sweets and that doesn't bother you, this is a a great little treat and looks like a small business, always good to support. read more
