I love it. I can see that McCoy's is a composite of all the seafood joints in Midcoast Maine. RIP Ron.

Wow and wow. Really nice writing. You took me to McCoys. You also took me back to the days when I was a short order cook at a dive in Dallas, Texas. I'd come home coated in grease, not from fried clams, but from burgers, fries, and God knows what else we served. The bartender was a guy like Ron--more than once, he told me to get my head out of my ass. Again, nicely done, Emily.
