The Clam Bar in Amagansett, has re-opened for the 2016 season. The Clam Bar is a classic seaside snack bar that has been serving the Hamptons for over 30 years. The family-owned mainstay, knows seafood, as evidenced by the fleet of local fishermen who they rely on for their “catch of the day.” Of course, clams are a staple, served on the half shell, in chowder, fried or stuffed. Summing up this popular eatery’s appeal, Richard J. Scholem of The New York Times wrote, “The true spirit of Long Island can be found in places like The Clam Bar.”

Like bathing suits, suntan lotion, and sandals, The Clam Bar is strictly for fair weather fun.  The popular seafood spot is currently open Friday through Sunday from 12 to 6 p.m. The Clam Bar on the Napeague stretch is open for 2016, serving their popular seaside classics, and will begin serving daily Friday, April 29th.
