Pie and ice cream: It's a classic duo, and for good reason. But at Third and Ferry Fish Market, they're churning things up a notch with their Pie Shakes, for which a slice of pie literally sits atop your—possibly alcoholic—milkshake. “You're only limited by your imagination,” owner Rebecca Pichetto says about potential creations. “There are three different pies and a cheesecake, and anywhere from six to eight ice cream flavors. Then you have a full bar selection to choose from, if you choose to ‘spike your shake.'”
The ice cream comes from the Bank Street Creamery, right there in Easton, but the idea to combine pies and milkshakes first sparked because of the restaurant's baker. “[Aunt Jack's Bakery from Williams Township] makes such fantastic pies that we wanted to highlight her creations,” says Pichetto. “What better way?”
Should you choose to spike your shake, Pichetto says that the apple pie and vanilla ice cream with a shot of RumChata is probably the restaurant's most popular variation. And while the ingredients to craft your own pie shake—or cake shake, if you want to go the route of cheesecake—reside on the dessert menu, there's no reason you can't pair it with your food.
“I'd suggest our pie shakes with any meal, but it's perfect if you order a bunch of our appetizers as an entrée, such as the Lobster Crab Tostadas, Spicy Tuna Tartare and a soup sampler,” says Pichetto.
