My favorite seafood fry place thus far - and I have visited a lot of them all over the world! We got great recommendations from the staff and even were served a generous free sample of their excellent clam strips. We had oysters and their signature Ipswich clams (highly recommended, see picture). Both were extremely fresh and fried to perfection. The shoestring fries were also yummy (and were not fried in the same fat as their seafood). The portion sizes and prices are spot-on. The home-made coleslaw was not soaked in mayo, and was delicious. The tartar sauce is nice and tangy and also appears to be home-made. Their cocktail sauce is not dominated by horse radish flavor, and there are hints of clove and other spices as well as a dash of Worcestershire sauce present. Although maybe trivial, their tap water and ice cubes are free of chlorine taste (i.e. filtered!). All too often, one gets terrible tasting chlorinated tap water at even higher-end places. The staff was very friendly and attentive, free refills of soda etc came promptly and without asking. And also probably trivial, but FINALLY a fry place that is generous with lemon slices, tartar and cocktail sauce. Considering the price of seafood vs condiments, it always strikes me as odd that some seafood places only provide those tiny plastic containers holding 2 table spoons of sauce, and charge extra for more. All in all, there is a lot of attention to detail in this business (and in this...

Nice venue! Spent $140+! Had a wait of 15 mins but didn't mine bc of all the activity! Menus provided outside while u wait! Host directing traffic to and fro and I loved that! Saw ppl coming and picking up their meals to eat at home! Well Organized! Staff very pleasant and went out if their way for every1 to have a gr8 experience! Appetizers good! However, Disappointed with the lack of seasoning in the batter of the scallops, flounder, shrimps and fries! Herbs that really bring out the Flav if seafood! I wanted to go back and see who's cooking! Place was very busy! Grandson, 15 said, "Nana yours is better!" So we bagged it all up and went for ice cream and sorbet at Coldstone a Fav! I thought maybe we picked no sodium/seasoning venue!My Son said tomorrow we can take the batter off scallops and make them like u do and add them to my lunch! I meal prep for the week . . . on Sunday (got body builders, fitness awareness and walkers we eat differently but do enjoy going out for some vittles) so I added them in and u couldn't tell the difference except size and firmness! As I think back and look back maybe that's why so many picked up and took meals home! Will I go again . . . we'll see! After all they say you can get anything and everything in NY! So we'll enjoy our stay! So in closing, I want to thank you and your staff for an experience . . . and Herb it...
