We had the choice of sitting outside, inside or at the bar! It was quite busy when we arrived so it was a little bit of a wait to get served. However, Our server was very sweet and attentive towards our party. Gave us some great recommendations. We started off with clam chowder, gumbo, and ceviche and it came out pretty quickly. Everything was made in house and absolutely delicious! The gumbo was my favorite. After the appetizers came through we ordered our main dishes and got fried shrimp, and fish tacos! It took some time for it to come out but once it did it was super exciting to get it. Everything was delicious, and for the shrimp you had a choice of small and large. I ordered small while my boyfriend ordered a large. We had tons and tons of food and it was so so good! We finished off with some delicious key lime pie and it was well worth the waiter bringing it out to us! My favorite definitely was the key lime pie and finishing up with that as well!

Half of the tables were empty. It took us over 15 minutes just to put our order in. After receiving our order the shrimp was good as always, but my fries were so hard I could only eat half of them. The hush puppies, were just ok. What was once a favorite restaurant in the area, now needs to get back to being the restaurant I once loved.

And now I fully understand the hype, and why people drive across the river for this sushi. A friend was telling me Clam House has consistently earned its top spot as her family's go-to sushi restaurant in the area, and I'm now convinced of the same! You cannot go wrong with any of their fresh tuna dishes, but you HAVE to start with the tuna nachos and/or the tuna martini salad. Both are delicious! The sushi selection is huge, and there's an entire other menu of the same size if you're looking for a different type of entree. Great wine list too! For the white wine fans, I recommend a bottle of the Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc. Enjoy! Don't let the packed parking lot deter you- they seat you quickly and the place is more spacious than it looks.

Upon arrival we opted to sit inside, due to there being a wait for the patio. A spacious booth right across from the kitchen ended up being just fine. More scenic if you sit outside, though. The Ahi Tuna Nachos (substantial portion), Fried Green Tomatoes (perfectly seasoned), and potato salad side (slightly sweet) were all delicious. I wouldn't order the Bacon Wrapped Scallops again, though, simply because I don't think what you get is worth the price. I had to go with one of their "Catch of the Day" options since the seafood is locally sourced. Only wish I had ordered the tripletail grilled rather than blackened so I could truly appreciate the pure flavor of the filet, but it was still really good. Our server was a pro, providing worthwhile recommendations, attentive service and a cheery disposition. The entire experience was sublime.
