    Bennett Shellfish shop
    Greg F.

    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.

    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!

    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!

Know that there is picnic table seating outdoors on nice days or a pretty big parking lot to enjoy your meal. I'm sure it gets packed during peak summer hours. The portions are huge! For 3 people we ordered lobster bisque, tuna bites, lobster Mac and cheese, a tuna poke bowl, sweet potato fries, and regular fries. Everything is made fresh to order and it was delicious! Literally the best lobster bisque I ever had. And the tuna bites were so unique - fresh tuna, breaded and deep fried. We aren't local but we will be back every time we are on the east end. The owner was also really nice and we wound up talking about camping in the area and things to do during the summer. Super friendly and welcoming!

I can only imagine how busy this place gets during the summer. We ordered a lobster roll, fish and chips, and oysters and enjoyed our food on a picnic table outside of the small restaurant. The inside is mostly for ordering and if you wanted to dine there, there were a decent amount of blue picnic tables outside. Food was pretty good, but not the best for the price. Oysters were a bit sandy and the batter of the fish and chips were a bit too thick for my liking, but we were still really appreciative to have a restaurant option with seafood!

I think the whole ordering system is chaotic but it's a small price to pay I guess. Ended up with part of a seafood tower delivered first but subsequently rectified. Calamari is crazy good, especially with the light eel sauce. Roasted whole fish was a crowd pleaser and came with veggies to make a very decent centerpiece. Seafood tower was acceptable. Went with a double magnum of rosé that was comically large and extremely drinkable. I sat inside for lunch the last time I was here and it was middling experience. Sitting outside on the water as the sunset is something else. If you're going to dine here then that's what you should be doing.

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.

We came here during lunch time and the restaurant had a strange smell to it -- not sure if it was something they used to clean or what. We knew that there had been some issues with boats coming in to deliver seafood the day before and were told that some things were not available -- but wish that we would've been told of things that weren't fresh like the sushi. I ordered the sushi platter and it was so dry and bland, as if the fish had been cut days ago. I ended up not finishing it. The blacked fish bites and the fluke sandwich were decent. The sliced yellowtail was better than the sushi since it had a lot of sauce on it. The clams were the freshest thing we had. Service was slow which was surprising given we were one of two tables in here for lunch. Not really overly impressed.
