The fish market is stocked daily with the freshest cod, haddock, sole, scallops, swordfish, salmon, shrimp, clams, oysters and most recognizable, the native live lobsters. During summer months, the catch variety expands with bluefish, striped bass, halibut, and wild sockeye salmon. The live lobsters vary in size ranging from 1-6 lbs and they typically have a steady supply of rock crabs as well. If you happen to be in the area, come check out the Plymouth local lobster 
men, they typically arrive mid-afternoon with their catch of the day!
Wood’s Seafood restaurant offers a dining experience with a picturesque horizon of Plymouths harbor. The menu provides customers with a wide range of seafood selection. Fried scallops, whole clams, oysters, and shrimp are just some of the local favorites.

Some movie theaters on the South Shore offer free or discount rates for kids movies during the summer.
Most movie theater will be playing the big summer blockbusters, but don’t expect them to include these in the free or very cheap summer movie program. Free summer movie programs typically feature G- or PG-rated movies that have already been released on DVD. However kids really don’t care-they just LOVE going to the movies.
Free and cheap summer movies for kids are usually shown early in the day to leave the screens available for other movies later in the day. Everyone loves free stuff. So if you’re planning to take the kids to a free or cheap showing, be sure to get there early. Many summer camps will show up. I would recommend getting there 30-40 minutes before the show starts. Many summer movie programs are run on a first-come, first-serve basis. Don’t miss out by showing up at the last minute.
Be prepared to spend the same amount of money for a bag of popcorn during the free show as you would at a showing of the latest movies.
