What’s outstanding in New England? Better eastern seafood (4,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cape cod

'what's outstanding in new england?' is the definition.
(it juts or stands out from New England coast)

'better eastern seafood' is the wordplay.
'better' becomes 'cap' (I've seen this before).
'eastern' becomes 'e'.
'seafood' becomes 'cod' (cod is a kind of seafood).
'cap'+'e'+'cod'='CAPE COD'

(Other definitions for cape cod that I've seen before include "East coast resort" , "Massachusetts promontory" , "Headgear" , "American resort" , "New England promontory" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
