Been coming here for over 30 years. Best place for steamers. Very pricey. But it is a tradition. Service tonight was fabulous.

If you want the freshest , best seafood on the south shore this is your spot! Nothing compares to the food and the family owned business that. Been coming since I was a kid , now come with my family and friends and couldn’t be happier . The steamers r amazing - dip in some broth to clean, eat and heavenly.

Absolutely WONDERFUL and DELICIOUS! We keep coming back for their steamer clams as they are fabulous! We were 3 people and we ordered 3 orders of steamer clams! So fresh and sweet. Their soft shell crabs are one of my all time favorites as well. Their service is always wonderful. Highly recommended!

Kind of a mixed experience. Ordered the chowder, raw oysters, steamer clams, lobster roll and tile fish special. Chowder was a bit bland however oyster were very fresh. The most egregious part of my meal was the amount of SAND in the steamer clams. You could legitimately see visible sand throughout the dish and a nice little sandbar at the bottom of the bowl. The flavor and texture of the clams was good but holy cow were they sandy; perhaps they don't know how to purge clams? When i brought it up to the manager she suggested i "wash them off in the provided broth" bizarre...The lobster roll was good and the tile fish special tasted good but was overcooked. Overall I'd look elsewhere for seafood dinner, perhaps white cap fish market

Perfect little dockside clam shack. Fried clams and a watermelon lemonade is the best way to wait for the next ferry.

Took a minute to find this spot tucked away behind the ferry parking lot, but man was it worth it. The location makes it feel like a real hidden gem. And the best fried oysters I’ve ever had. Custardy, oceany goodness.

Good spot to grab some take out and a drink as you wait for the Fire Island ferry. Friendly service at the take out counter, good comfort food, large selection of seafood fares, and reasonable prices.

Parking: Parking is free if you just come to grab a quick order to go, but you'll have to use the paid parking lot if you're staying longer.

This was a takeout order getting off the ferry. They didn't have clam chowder. They did have fish chowder that had more corn starch thickener than seafood. Maybe it was end of season and very little demand? Not expected from a great chowder house.
