We picked up some clams this year and they were fabulous just like all the fish we've bought here in the past. Every single time the seafood has been fresh and delicious.

Not really a restaurant. Essentially a seafood market that cooks some food to go. Great prices on seafood. We got a few pounds of shrimp and some rockfish filets to take home, and they shucked a couple dozen oysters while we waited and we ate them on their humble front porch. There is nothing fancy about this place, but that... More

We've never been disappointed with what we've purchased here. Clams are our favorite, tuna, salmon, shrimp, all excellent.

This is some of the best seafood we have had on the island. Even though it's all carry out, it is worth it! You can take it back to your room or find a picnic area close by. They give big portions too.

We ate here 3 times in a week - crab cakes, scallops, steamed clams, flounder, blue crabs. Best to call ahead to order, since everything is prepared to order. Love both their tarter and cocktail sauce (which has horseradish in it - yum). Their dinner plates include 1-2 vegetables of the day - corn, green beans, salad - whatever they... More

Scallops - perfect. Clams - perfect. Blue Crabs, steamed and seasoned - perfect. All at reasonable prices. This place is no bones, it's just about the seafood.
