Westfair Fish & Chips — Restaurant in Westport

Fantastic food. You could drive right by and not even know this place was there as it’s kind of set back from the road a bit. Once you’re in and have hopefully found a parking spot, you’ll enter the very unassuming seafood spot. They have a great base menu with specials written onto their blackboard right next to where you order. We tried a variety of dishes, clam strips, steamed little necks, a stuffed clam and crab cake. The food was as very fresh and delicious. The clam strips weren’t the little bits of clam you get served at a lot of other places but good meaty chunks and fried to perfection. You can tell the oil was at the perfect temperature and changed regularly as the strips weren’t greasy at all. The clams were delicious, as were the stuffed clam and crab cake, with a generous amount of meat in each. The prices were also very reasonable and the staff were very friendly. This is a place I look forward to returning to in the near future....

I don't normally go in for seafood —at least not the cooked kind— but I'm glad I gave them a shot.

I ended up ordering some fried clam strips, a Rhode Island clam chowder —they also had Manhattan and New England versions available, if that's more your style— and a blondie, for desert. All three items were extremely good. The blondie, for some reason, stood out to me as particularly moist and tasty, which isnt something I'd have expected from such a generic item, outside of an actual bakery.

I got my order to go, but while I was there, the ambience was pleasant and the staff friendly.

With all of that said, I do have one important warning for any would be diners: bring cash. They don't accept credit cards, nor do they have an ATM on premise. They were happy enough to take my order, and start working on it, while I went off to get some more money to pay them, but it's still better to have it on you...

My family and I have been going to West fair fish and chips for over 50 years… I know that the owner needs to take a break as his incredible son, but the crew that they have hired for Sunday night sucks. The person who is running the cash register has not a clue of what she’s doing. She gets nine out of 10 orders wrong… Now she’s the one taking the order and she repeated it to you so you know that exactly what you’re getting but that’s not what you end up with and then she acts clueless about the whole process. She’s slow she’s unorganized and she doesn’t answer the phone at all for the entire last hour and a half that the restaurant is open because she says she’s too busy to answer the phone… I find this to be preposterous… I know that this place has been running for over 50 years with slammed phone calls and people in there buying food and they’ve been able to handle both… Fire the girl on...
