If you're back from the North Shore or you've finally cleared out the last speck of sand from your trip to the Cape but you're still craving a seaside meal, then you have to hurry out to Fresh Pond Seafood soon or you might have wait just a few more days for your fresh fish or fried food. 

Fresh Pond Seafood, 75 Summer St., will be closed Aug. 21 through Aug. 23 to finish some work on their kitchen. What you can expect to find this time of year is some striped bass from Martha's Vineyard as the season has just begun. Also chilling behind the glass are: shrimp, scallops, lobster meat, halibut, salmon, flounder, scrod, haddock, bluefish, catfish, sea bass, snapper, Mahi Mahi, steamers, mussels, little necks, cherrystones, oysters, tuna, grey sole, swordfish, soft shell crabs. crabmeat from Maine, crab cakes, trout, stuffed clams and shad roe. 

The takeout side of Fresh Pond Seafood has everything that your favorite seafood spot at the beach has. After you put away that last bottle of sunscreen and find that last little shell in your son's or daughter's shorts pocket, you can still bite into a meal that brings you right back to those salty air, seawater hair, sunkissed nose, vacation days by the beach right here in Arlington.
