The Clam Bar Montauk Highway Amagansett, NY (631) 267-6348

The Clam Bar is the perfect casual outdoor restaurant for local seafood. This "clam shack" features a bounty of fresh seafood straight from the docks in Montauk (owner Dick Ehrlich goes down to get it himself). Popular items include: clams on the half shell, cajun popcorn shrimp, shrimp cocktail, lobster, steamed mussels, fried clam strips, fish n' chips, fried scallops and more. Joan Reminick of Newsday stated that "the clam roll featured the sweetest, most tender, most perfectly fried clams." Richard J. Scholem of The New York Times claims that "the true spirit of Long Island can be found in places like the Clam Bar." They are open everyday for lunch and dinner in season from noon til 8 p.m. It is "the" stop to make on the way to Montauk.
