Found this while looking up food places to eat. We ordered the treasure chest which was 50.00 now wait till you see the pic!!! It was definitely fried came with fries and coleslaw. Shrimp, scallops,crab cake , sole, haddock fish, clams. It was really good. Supposedly it feeds 2-4 peeps depending on ur hunger, well we were hungry!! Had a little left over. The fries were home cut and flavorful, the coke slaw was perfect, shrimp and scallops to perfection, the sole was very flaky, hallock was ok to me , but way too much clams. They give you all the fixings with it as well, Also tried the clam chowder. You know it's fresh when you get a little sand in ur soup!! It was good but a little too thin for me, but I enjoyed it!! It's a definite try if in the New Haven area. Looks like a dive , but I've had some of my best food in a dive place.

Ok it's eclectic and isn't the best looking but the food and location made up for it. It's a dive with quality food. A cocktail would made it better but I understand. We had plenty of food and variety. Loved the tartar and cocktail sauce. Nice staff and customers in sight of the ocean.

There really is no going back once you've experienced seafood in New England. Really cute beachside shack with perfectly fried all types of seafood. The oysters were so juicy that I'm surprised they didn't leak. Fries were also excellent.

Finally I was able to eat in this place after so many times I drove in the area. I know this place can get crowded in the weekends, but we went there on Saturday late lunch and it was a little busy. They have a small parking lot. There is not parking lot close by. When we get there we were excited to try the seafood, that's their specialties. There are plenty of tables to sit with cool umbrellas. We didn't know that we have to go inside to order and it's ONLY CASH. they have an atm just in case you forget to bring cash. The prices are reasonable for seafood, and the portions are good, except for the lobster roll.. I ordered the Fish & Chips with Cod (BOAT) . They dish comes with fries and coleslaw. The fish and chips were good to my personal preference. I really love cod fish it has better flavor. Also we got a Sauté Lobster Roll. The presentation was a little messy. We have better lobster rolls before. So this one was ok. Also we ordered some jalapeño poppers, they were pretty good. They tartar sauce made the difference in this place I kind of liked it. Overall 4 out of five, because of the lobster roll.

Happy Memorial Day weekend! Thank you to all who served. I love the beginning of summer and a lobster roll is the only way to go. Of course we had to add onion rings. Stowe's has done a phenomenal job on their new patio. It is always a pleasure to patronize such a wonderful fresh seafood location!

Great seafood spot across from the beach. Today I had a clam strip roll. It was freshly cooked and delicious. In addition to sandwiches, soups and seafood platters, they have a smallish case of fish items you can purchase to cook at home. Just keep in mind this place is cash only.

Beachy fish shack that serves seafood right by the ocean. I love the outdoor tables with umbrellas - we stopped by on a summer morning and the sea breeze was so nice. We ordered the boat with cod and a cup of clam chowder. The boat is huge!! Definitely enough for two to share. The breading/cod were pretty bland (which was such a let down since it looked and smelled so good!) but tasted a lot better with some salt. The coleslaw was great. I liked the clam chowder as well - its a little thinner than classic New England but thicker than Rhode Island. It comes with large chunks of potato and lots of clams. Definitely would come back for a meal and honestly just to enjoy their outdoor space/proximity to the beach. Just note that they're cash only and there's no indoor seating!
