Black Duck Cafe on Riverside Avenue in Westport has been a Connecticut shoreline institution, combining fresh seafood with pub food in a waterfront setting that earns the loyalty of Fairfield County residents who know the difference between a proper fish sandwich and what passes for one in most suburban restaurants. It appeared in Season 6, Episode 7 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Go-to Joints,” which aired May 25, 2009. Guy Fieri found a kitchen doing seafood right on the Connecticut shoreline, with fresh ingredients and the kind of no-pretension pub food approach that makes a neighborhood restaurant into a genuine go-to.
