Favorite Summertime Seafood Shack/Restaurant

Is Arnold’s still open on the Cape have not been there for about 10 years but it was always good when we spent our Memorial Day weekends on Cape Cod in the late 90’s and early 2000’s.

Yes it was commercialized because of location but the whole belly clams were always good.

Arnolds is still there but we lived in Truro and it was just that much further to not be worth it

Anyone remember the days when Legal Seafoods in Boston was the go to?

Mid-80's you couldn't get in on a Tuesday. You had to hope to find a couple of seats at the bar. It was good though, not a rip-off, iirc.

No longer living in CT. Moved to central Florida almost 9 years ago.

Within the first 6 months down here, we found a great seafood restaurant. Town Taven in Celebration in Celebration, FL. Their sister restaurant is Kelly's Landing in Boston. Fresh seafood arrives every morning at around 5 AM.

Our community has many CT, MA and RI retirees. We know were the best seafood is. So if you visit down here, remember the name. You won't be disappointed.

I love grouper. I didn't realize that it was in the same family as sea bass. Both very tasty. A few years back I had a delicious sea bass at Atlantic Fish Company on Boylston in Boston.

I’ve been there a few times. We like staying in Celebration occasionally when we visit Orlando. Pretty cool little Truman Show kind of thing.

I like Max’s Oyster Bar as well. I believe they offer Buck a shuck early in the week. They used to make a pretty good paella as well.

Definitely not a shack but the place I think of for a large variety of oysters is The Oyster Bar in Grand Central.

Lenny & Joe's Fish Tale - Madison & Westbrook

I was only there once and it was a long time ago so I can't vouch for the quality but I know a guy who knows a guy...I am going there this summer damnit

This place may not be the gourmet one might be looking for, but probably a good summer joint. Otherwise I prefer any place directly on the water that serves cold beer.

 
Paddy's is a fun spot. I have no idea if the food is any good but the beach scene makes it a nice destination

The Black Duck in Westport is more dive bar than seafood shack, but it has excellent fish tacos and will occasionally have a fish sandwich special that is very good. Don’t drink too much if you go because the floor is very uneven and kind of slants toward the river, and one can wipe out off even a mild buzz.

The main reason for going to the Black Duck is to drink too much. It's a dark dive bar sinking into the Saugatuck. Don't get me wrong - I've had many a good time there.

Bill's Seafood in Westbrook is our favorite spot, we've been going for 40 years. One of the few places I can find excellent RI chowder as well as top notch lobster rolls. Drinks are always nice and the place often has live music. Casual for sure.

My mother lives in Westbrook and I go there whenever I visit. That's said, I haven't been there in a long time...

About the only place left at the beach of my youth. The Wreck, Blue Sands and King Neptune are all gone I believe. There used to be a shack in that vicinity that sold clam fritters.

For fried; Skippers in Niantic for whole-bellies and oysters. If you prefer Clam strips, then Fred's Shanty on Pequot Ave. in New London.
Expand ...
I can second Skipper's for fried. We just went a couple weeks ago before a show at The Kate and I loved my fish and chips. Place was pretty dead, off-season on a Tuesday but everything came out great. I get a little nervous when you go in a place for the first time and no one else is there. Especially since I hadn't heard of this place before.

I didn't read this whole thread so apologies if this was posted.

Dock 9 at the Velvet Mill in Stonington CT has Buck a shuck oysters and little necks on Sundays for brunch. It has a really cool vibe of a restaurant as well. Highly recommend. I ate a dozen each and had to stop myself ($24 bucks). Great bloody mary's too.

The Blue Oar in Haddam was an absolute gem. That was the perfect summer restaurant in Connecticut right on the river next to a marina. It was BYOB. It was the perfect summer evening to have dinner on the water. Unfortunately, it closed last year and it will be missed. A state like Connecticut, which has the Connecticut river and the extensive shoreline I am always amazed by the lack of restaurants on the water. You go to other states that have a shoreline, and there are dozens and dozens of restaurants on the water.
