Amagansett Seafood Store — Restaurant in Town of East Hampton

Do you like seafood? Do you like personable business owners? Would you like to meet a seafood master who continually masters his craft? Mike is amazing and esstatic. Read reviews stating Mike is drunk.......... Drunk on enthusiasm! You only live once and this man is living it! Let's review the food

Lobster roll - packed with lobster and lobster slaw. The slaw and whole lobster really works well because the slaw holds down the whole lobster while you chew down. The bun is not buttery special bun but keeps the whole sandwhich light.

Cod taco - you get multiple choices of fish. Ask him and he breaks down all the fish and which ones you may prefer. Really juicy and amazing. The sauce is the highlight! Really good tangy rich sauce. Similar to the lobster roll, the soft taco shells are generic but gets the job done.

Bass dip - these don't exist in Maryland. It's amazing.......

Curry salmon - wow. Flavor flavor flavor. You would think a seafood master would only know seafood. He makes amazing curries. The curry is rich and deep with the salmon only intensifying it. Over rice, this stuff is a drug in food form. He even has samples of new concoctions he makes in the front for you to try.

Scallop Ceviche - sweet scallop in a lime juice. I have been to Peru and tried alot of ceviche. This comes extremely close if not better. The cilantro,onion, tomato, and lime ratio is on point. The scallops are amazing. I would take the juice home and make some margarita. Mike will teach you how to make it!

Mike knows where all his sustainable fish comes from like a true professional. While you are here, you will see his interactions with all the locals whom he remembers by name.

I started with just the lobster roll and ended up getting all the above because I was so appreciative of his knowledge. Talk about value, bill came out to...

This is, by necessity, a two part review... there's the food, and then there's the hospitality. In this case, they're inextricable, but if you haven't yet experienced the mojo, you just won't get it.

That said, first I must address the individual who gave this place a One Star review. Bless your heart my friend. You sure are living a hard life.

That's all I have to say about that.

On to the food. Having now discovered this gem, I will gladly be driving the 3-1/2 hours each way from my home in Jersey (Sidebar - be prepared for the comments when he sees your out of State plates) for Mike's fish tacos and lobster rolls. Each of the two tacos was meal in and of itself... my choice of fresh fish, smothered in slaw and sauce and some kind of tequila-lime thing and a side of apricot chutney. I'm sure I missed a few ingredients, but it was absolute culinary brilliance. The lobster roll was possibly a whole damn lobster. Seriously. Buttered roll, lettuce, actual ripe tomato. Hell yeah.

Then there's the notable matter of the hospitality. I won't say I wasn't at least a little caught off guard. What to say about the proprietor Mike? If you can imagine Conor McGregor as a trash talking golden hearted fish monger with an attitude, you're on the right track. For the record, I'm pretty sure I got Mike to call me an A-hole in less then 30 seconds. I won't say exactly how, but I'll tell you this... he's not British. I returned the salutation, and I'd like to think we're now friends.

Bottom line... every piece of fish in in the store looked like it was swimming ten minutes ago, every prepared item was spectacular, nothing was cheap, and it'd all be a bargain at twice the price. Oh, and say hi to Mike. You won't regret...

Amagansett seafood is absolutely the best seafood market in all of Long Island. The owner, Mike makes the experience one that you will never forget. Not only does he can turn a bad day into a glorious one instantly with his vivacious personality., he is also extremely helpful and assisting you what he has and how to prepare it . We have been getting our lobsters for years as he cooks them splits them and put them in a very easy container for the family to enjoy. His little necks on the half shell are always fresh as can be, and can be addicting. When you enter the store, you feel like you’re with family and friends. The typical Hampton attitude is left out the door. Cheers to...
