Rollin’ with Freshies BY JOSHUA JONES AND STEVE FINAU
A few
years ago we went to Provincetown, Massachusetts and dived into a world of ocean swimming, oyster slurping, and lobster cracking. The delicate nature of shellfish translates so much better to your palate when plucked from the ocean and put into your mouth promptly. Freshies started as a food truck in Park City and then opened a brick and mortar up there, then another one in a remodeling house in SLC a few blocks from us - on 900 south (Harvey Milk Blvd,). According to our server, their lobster is baited, captured, packaged, shipped to Utah, and plated within 24 hours. That is a lot of effort, and in the end the effort is worth it.
q scopes AUGUST BY SAM KELLEY-MILLS
ARIES March 20–April 19
The path to freedom appears in the form of passion and good spirits. It’s amazing how good someone makes you feel when things get a little tough. Don’t grow dependent on others for happiness, but if an opportunity for it exists, take advantage of it. Strength spawns from coziness, especially in matters of the heart.
TAURUS Apr 20–May 20
Priorities of equal importance flood your agenda. Discouragement ensues without a clear first step, and progress is stalled. Career woes should be handled lightly, while relationship and family matters demand a direct approach. Patience is good, but don’t delay. Draining the pressures of life will provide immediate relief.
GEMINI May 21–June 20
The future seems unclear and a path undefined. This would be fine if you knew the general direction things were going. A normal sense of adventure is notably missing, but do
“Worth it” is a bit relative. The lobster rolls come in three sizes, the small, with just 1.9 oz of lobster is $12. We got the “real mainah” with 3.7 oz for $21, which was filling and — we felt — worth every penny. The meat is nestled into a buttered soft bun with a bit of mayo and sprinkled chives. After one bite we were converts. The meat is sweet and succulent. A few years ago, Freshies won the title of best lobster roll in America and many critics have endorsed that award, saying the same thing, and I have no problem with that. It really is that good. You will want to slow down and savor each bite. The lobster bisque was quite filling and also delicious, but I’d wait for cooler weather to fully enjoy it. The lobster grilled cheese on sourdough ($8) was also great, but the tangy cheddar stole some of the magic from the lobster, making it almost unnecessary. I’d like to say that I’ll someday return to try the Blueberry BBQ Chicken sandwich, which looked amazing … or for the Lobster Mac and Cheese, but in all hones-
no fret. Life continues moving forward and will eventually show its cards. Now is not a good time to gamble, so some caution would be wise.
CANCER June 21–July 22
You’ve kept a big secret for a while. However, everyone already knows what the secret is! Don’t fear letting friends know what defines you, as it will make the world much easier to deal with. Being out of your comfort zone could take time to adjust to, but being exposed can be very liberating. Freedom is a gift to your self.
LEO July 23–August 22
A helping hand comes from a family member. A humble nature will emerge as a result, and a new perspective will shape your outlook. Spend time with those close to you, and don’t let a moment of anger overcome your sensibilities. Staying calm when things heat up is encouraged. The last thing needed right now is deep regret.
VIRGO August 23–Sep. 22
A big change is coming, so be prepared. Nothing is more frustrating than feeling like everyone is too busy. But it’s a good time for reflection and personal expression. Splurge a little, but don’t venture too far from the familiar. A neat friend will
ty, I’m going to stick with their tried and true lobster roll which made me feel like I was back on the P-town docks with salty wind cooling down the day. If you do try something besides the lobster roll, hit us up and let us know how it was!

CAPRICORN Dec 21–Jan 19
Dreams can be frightening if truth is mistaken for logic. Don’t blow things out of proportion without measuring the extent of reality. Family members take advantage of insecurities, so avoid a tragedy before it starts. If things don’t feel right, make the necessary adjustments. Small changes make the biggest of differences.
There is no such thing as a perfect life, but perfect moments are possible. Great moments will occur during this time, especially in business matters. An intriguing opportunity will be a powerful lure. Be cautious with individuals who seem too willing to give. Open arms could be a trap. Set restrictions and stand firm.
SCORPIO Oct. 23–Nov. 21
Running away feels good from time to time. This will ring true during this time, Aquarius. Personal entanglements are bound to get sticky, but a little distance will help in overcoming the mess. Eliminate one problem at a time, and free time will flow your way. Relax with a clear head. A good cry could also be cleansing.
A period of intense emotional strain will lead to an increase of desires. Give into temptation with a sense of modesty, and satisfaction will be more abundant. An increase of finances will come available, but conservation would be wise. Save for something you really want while being aware of hard times ahead.
SAGITTARIUS
Nov. 22–December 20.
Friends from the past will appear in a quick and surprising manner. Welcome or not, there are memories attached to these people. Buried emotions will rise to the surface. Evaluate your feelings carefully and tread lightly. The past is remembered differently from others. Misunderstandings could
AQUARIUS Jan. 20–Feb. 18
PISCES Feb 19–Mar 19
Feeling through a problem is only part of the process. Embrace both reason and instinct when finalizing a crucial decision. A career development will cause both delight and frustration when too many options become available. The future isn’t certain, but consequences are. Do what feels right to your head and heart. Balance. Q
