I have tried both types of clams, both are juicy and chewy. Tried both fish n chips n breaded sole, both are great. Normal fish n chips has light batter is does not taste flour-ish. Very nice n light. Their calamari is the nicest I have ever had so far. Its a pity I can't buy seafood when I left Digby. I did pack breaded scallops for my ferry back to Saint John though. This is a MUST TRY seafood when you are in Digby. Great service, Great taste, LOW price. (They do close early, 7pm / 8pm dep on season)

When my wife and I showed up on a Saturday afternoon, I was in luck because the scallops and fish combo was one of the daily specials, clocking in at just $21! My other half, not being a big seafood person, opted for a cheeseburger. Having arrived well after the main lunch crowd, we had our food in quick order and ate indoors, taking a break in their AC. My plate of brown, deep-fried goodness wasn't exactly a poster child for the Canada Food Guide, but it sure was good! The scallops had a light dusting of breading before hitting the fryer, and they were a perfect doneness - not too soft, and not at all rubbery. Being minimally adorned as they were, the sweetness of the scallops took its rightful spot at centre stage. The fish portion of the plate was comprised of three small filets of haddock, with a light breading on the exterior. I do prefer a crisp, airy beer batter, but the quality of the fish stole the show, as it flaked easily in solid chunks, but wasn't mushy or shredding to tiny bits. It was one of those times where the fish was so good that I only used the tartar sauce for my fries. Said fries were the standard, from-frozen fries that I think of as "diner fries", but they were good and crisp on the outside, with fluffy interiors, so they were about as good as they can be. On the upside, the fries acted as a delivery mechanism for one of the best tartar sauces I've ever had! Heavy on the minced pickle chunks, the tartar sauce had a sweetness to it that reminded me of mustard pickles (in the best possible way). When a place does a simple thing like this so well, it really make all the others that just do packets of Kraft look even worse. Although far from being the star of the show, my wife's cheeseburger was a solid, diner-style burger. Carla's was just what I was looking for while in Digby - down home style seafood that's well-executed without pretension.

Ordered the smaller size; it was plenty of food. Clams were fresh and a good serving size. (not just a plate of fries with a couple of clams!) Came with home fries, which are my preference. Sorry I didn't take a picture of the plate of food! I intended to, but when I unwrapped it, it looked so good I just dug in! I got the impression that they usually have regular fries as an option. He did tell me, when I ordered, that they only had home fries. I included a picture of the menu board with current pricing. Important since I believe it's cash only. Friendly service. Very quick. I don't eat deep fried food very often. So, when I do, I don't want a greasy mess and I want the food to be worth eating. And it's been awhile since I had a feed of clams that was that good, so I'll be going back.

This was our only option before a 2 1/2 hour drive to Halifax. The service was good. Our server was very nice. But the food was... mediocre. The salad dressing came in little Kraft packets. The meals came with two veggie sides and mashed potatoes. The veggies -- carrots and parsnips -- tasted either canned or boiled or both. The mashed potatoes were clearly instant. I can't remember the last time I went to a restaurant and had food that was lower quality than I make in my own kitchen. The scallops were decent which was the only consolation as we had been looking forward to scallops from Digby since before our trip. The restaurant could also use a refresh. The inside looks like it's 1986. The air conditioning was also messed up and the inside of the restaurant was so cold I had to go get a long sleeved shirt from the car. And I am never cold. I rarely leave bad reviews, but I had to tell my honest opinion. I didn't even take pictures of our food which goes to show how disappointed I was.
