    Lobster rolls
    Danielle P.

    Finally had the chance to give Bennett Shellfish a try after seeing it all over social media. As others have said here and on the Gram, this is run out of a couple's actual home and as such, there are (understandably) rules to follow. You'll pull into their driveway and ring the bell as indicated. Once we did, there were signs all over about not eating here which, again, understandable, we're in your home. Ambiance is very much to-go counter. We entered to a stressed out lady behind the counter who yelled out "it's cash only!" which I'm guessing has been an issue despite all the very clear signage. Her husband was having some breakfast at the counter and immediately told us that he knew he was breaking "the rules" (dude it's your literal home do what you want). We ordered two lobster rolls as well as clams on the half shell - the total came to $49 which is a steal here compared to other spots. The clams were extremely fresh (just shucked, to the point where there was juice everywhere in this paper container with no top which is great if you can eat it sitting down at a table somewhere...not great if you know you need to GTFO and drive somewhere in your car with it). I saw another couple take their lobster rolls to go and even though the buns were packaged separately, the lobster salad was piled into the same flimsy paper container with no lid. If you don't want people to eat in your house (or driveway), serve these things in actual to-go containers. If you're coming here I would honestly bring your own Tupperware because now my car smells like clam juice. But I guess that's the price you pay for quality seafood and an affordable price out in Montauk.

    Wow!!! On a daytrip to Montauk this week, we took advantage of Bennett Shellfish's amazing deal of 2 for $40 lobster rolls. The lobster was perfectly fresh, sweet and ample, and the price cannot be beat. I love supporting a business like this, too from local fisherfolk. Its cool how they run it right out of their house, at a side entrance. The little shop was super clean, the owners friendly. Also scored some amazing homemade cookies and good drinks. All in all, miles better than any lobster roll you'd get that'd cost twice that much. No dine-in, but you don't need that. Do what we did, grab the rolls and eat them on the beach.

    Visited the Hamptons for the 1st time & my friends decided that we wanted lobster rolls. We were unsure about the entrance because we didn't know that it was a literal building that look like a house. Upon entering, we noticed that barrage of pictures on the wall and the countertop with the menu and other food items. We placed our order for the lobster rolls. I really appreciated the fact that they had a 2 for $30 deal, which is very cheap (especially in the Hamptons area) compared to most places that sell lobster rolls for that price or more for just one lobster roll. I decided that I couldn't wait anymore and I want to take a bite of the lobster roll just to see how it tasted. I must say it might have been the BEST lobster roll I've ever had in my life. The owner of the shop told us that the recipe has been her family for generations, and it definitely tasted that way! I love how incredibly juicy and plentiful the lobsters were on the lobster rolls. I know there's a battle between putting butter on the lobster rolls versus using a mayo base spread. Though I prefer both, there was something especially unique about the based used to flavor the lobster rolls. I think I'm more upset that I didn't buy more. I highly recommend this place & would love to come back whenever I am in the Hamptons again.

    Fresh caught and shucked wild oysters

    Great mom and pop seafood spot with tons of fresh, local, catch options. Found this place on yelp when we were looking for some fresh oysters and they did not disappoint. The fishery is located in the back of the owner/bay man's house and they feature only the freshest long island seafood, ranging from mussels, scallops, oysters, and there famous lobster pie. They also have some delicious chocolate mouse cake, and seafood fixings. The women running the spot was very friendly and helpful. She was also proud to talk about how her husband was a 14th generation bayman and catches what they sell. Definitely recommend if your looking for some fresh seafood to go. They are cash only and have parking in their driveway.

    Yummy lobster rolls

    The owners wife with warm hospitality served up our 2 delicious lobster rolls to go (take out only) from a batch she just made. Light on the mayo/sauce so that the wonderful chunks of lobster meat were full flavor and abundent. The tasting offered of tuna/blue fish dip was a nice bonus and yummy treat. Highly recommend!

    The OYSTERS!!! were amazing!!!! I love oysters and good quality oysters. Fresh, big, full of flavor! Its not often that you come across wild caught oysters at a reasonable price. The husband catches them and the wife was the one selling them. She was so so kind!!! I can't wait to come back and man if i had more time, i would love to try everything on the menu!

    Lobster pie
    Da-Eun L.

    Bennet shellfish is a small store out of a family home with fresh seafood to go. We visited on a Saturday afternoon, and were able to enter to place our order immediately. We were greeted by the owners and they were super friendly! They answered all the questions we had, and gave us samples to try. We got the lobster pie and some oysters. The Lobster Pie took about 20-25 minutes to prepare -- you just brush some melted butter on top of the pie and place it in the oven, and you are good to go! The pie was creamy and yummy, and the oysters were super fresh too! Their menu apparently changes everyday, so would return to try other menu items when back in Montauk!

    Exactly what you are looking for. No need to shop anywhere else for your standard, classic lobster roll. Great services and ambiance.

    Hours are irregular. Stopped by twice and no one was there. They're not inexpensive but certainly less than Duryea.

    Without a doubt our favorite restaurant in Montauk. Always great service and food…read more Amazing place to eat with incredible sunsets!. Our fav's the calamari sushi roll, cauliflower side and the traditional lobster roll! In the summer the wait may be long but if plan it correctly, you can enjoy the musical entertainment first and then dinner! A two for 1 deal!

    5 + location and view…read more 4 minus overall No reservations, so depending on time of year you may have to wait for a table. We have been here a number of times and usually enjoy our meal and experience. They have Good sushi selections and usually have nice fresh seafood selections. We had Tile fish prepared with escarole, white beans, and crispy leaks. Quite good! We also had wild Alaskan salmon that was somewhat disappointing. Id skip that! Was kind of dry and a bit fishy. Not terrible, but not really exceptionally enjoyable either. Service was good! They definitely work hard! They were washing down the table next to us as we sat down which is fine. Unfortunately, they were using some kind of solution that smelled like dirty or rotten damp rags. Unfortunately the smell took a while to dissipate and impacted our party's experience. It also probably reduced our ordering of pre-meal apps and drinks, not intentionally, but because it wasnt appetizing. We will probably return, because our experience might have been off a bit because they are not in full season yet.
