As a boy growing up in NH, almost every weekend my family and I would go to the Derry Flea Market, and I would beg my parents to take me across the street to get food to-go from Clam Haven. My favorite thing was the onion rings. I absolutely loved them! I had to leave NH when my parents moved to FL in 2004, and after spending the last 19 years in FL and then moving to VA, I can honestly say I can't find a onion ring breading anywhere that can hold a candle to Clam Haven's. I wish I could get them here in Virginia. If I could afford to travel back to NH for a day, I would probably pick Clam Haven as one of my top priority destination stops, so I could share the experience with my girlfriend who has never been there before. Thank you guys for the great memories and food through my childhood! Much love!

Honestly I’m very disappointed been coming here for years. The best part of my 40$ 2 way combo was my coke and French fries. Scallops tasted tangy and different and chewy!!. I’m not one to ever post bad reviews but there’s nothing worse than paying 40$ for a meal and it’s absolutely disappointing.. and Nevermind the freaking flies everywhere

Just moved to the area and I love seafood. I was excited to try the fried clam plate and I was disappointed. The clams were tasteless and bellies were so small it was mostly clam strips . The onions rings were soggy and mostly breading . I got two meals and paid 65 dollars and it was not worth the money I spent. That being said I’m always willing to give a place second try so I will try one more time and hopefully have a better experience.

My boyfriend's family and I went here to enjoy the Fisherman's platters. We were very happy with the service and quality of the seafood. The scallops were melt in your mouth and cooked to perfection and the shrimp were extra large, plump, and juicy. The clams and haddock were also very delicious. In all honesty, the batter on the onion rings was slightly disappointing as everything else was fried beautifully. They provided quick and speedy service, in addition, plenty of condiments for each of the platters. Overall, we would definitely return here when we have a seafood craving.
Got the 2 hotdogs plate, came with 4 onion rings and fries, was quick and staff was extremely pleasant. Thank you for the food!

I bought 2 2 hot dog specials for my wife and I. We ended up throwing them away as they were just 2 containers of inedible, excess grease. Money I'll never get nack. Ever since the owners of Rig A Tony's bought Clam Haven, the quality of food and service is absolutely abysmal. It was our go to place under the former owners, with me going there loyally for 30 years going back to 1991.
I drove by today and there only 3 cars of customers max. This place used to be hopping on the weekends. The owners should be ashamed for ruining a good, stable place for cheap eats. The onion rings used to be the best around.
If you want to get a container full of excess grease, this is your place.

They cut alot of corners sense the new owners took over. Food quality is low and frankly is hard to eat without feeling sick.

Onion rings and fries were delicious but fried haddock was not. Fish appeared to be done and outside was nice and crispy but between was mushy. Not in a hurry to try that fish again.

Lots of bad press in the New Hampshire Eats Facebook page on this place. Most of the comments in this thread list bad experiences. I hate to see a local [seafood] place with poor experiences in our area I hope they can turn this place around!! ❤️
Food was excellent!!🥰
