Seafood Shanty Incorporated

I've lived in New England on and off my entire life and this was hands down the BEST fish and chips I've had. The portions are fantastic, but I was not prepared for the perfection that entered my mouth. Stopped on a whim while just passing by and will now make this a regular stop for every trip to the Cape. Photo shows clam strips those were also delicious

I came last year and loved it. This year the food not as good. The coleslaw tasted like it had raw onions in it, which I’ve never had in coleslaw before. I didn’t care for it. The clams were fresh but the batter was a bit salty. Chowder was great fresh clams, it is NOT a thick chowder so be prepared. I enjoyed it very much as long as you are okay with a thin broth.

Lobster Roll seemed expensive at $30+… but well worth it! Haven’t had a lobster roll since pre-Covid, so admittedly not up to speed on latest market prices for Lobster. They have a prime location with a beautiful view of the canal so thought there may have been a markup for summer tourists, but even if that was the case, I would gladly pay it again. Additionally, a generous serving of Lobster (with just the right amount of mayo) along with the fries that come with it is plenty of food for two people to share. Friendly employees, nice picnic table seating area with umbrellas for shade (no indoor seating), and plenty of parking. Only negatives of note: (1) I don’t believe there were available indoor bathrooms (may be mistaken but didn’t see any)…There were two portable toilets by the side of the parking lot that were relatively clean, but just a heads up; and (2) they are cash only.

Super appreciate local mom and pop businesses. The vibe is so cute, ole school Cape. I like their fish sandwiches. The lobster roll yesterday was massive and fairly priced at 33.50. It is a very wet serving with lots of mayo. The meat is shredded mostly. The roll is very buttery and a regular ole hot dog roll. The people are super friendly.
