The Clam Bar is your classic seaside snack bar. Here, the “catch of the day” isn’t just a catch phrase. The freshest seafood you’ll find anywhere on the East End is served up with the roar of the ocean in the distance.  The specials board truly reflects what is coming off the boats that day – including fresh tuna, swordfish, or striped bass!

Of course, clams are a staple – served on the half shell, in chowder, fried or stuffed.  Popular favorites include Cajun popcorn shrimp, crab cakes and The Clam Bar’s lobster roll is considered by many to be the best around! There are plenty of good non-seafood options, too, like burgers, hot dogs, and salads. A bucolic spot for a fun date night, or perfect for a family outing after the beach, The Clam Bar is a favorite destination of KDHamptons.

Owner Dick Ehrlich, knows seafood, as evidenced by the fleet of local fishermen who Ehrlich has relied on for seafood for over 20 years. The Clam Bar also embodies the spirit of summer at the beach. Friends and families gather under the umbrellas at outdoor tables to relax after a day spent beachcombing or sightseeing. Shorts and sunglasses are required dress. 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.”
