This place is a bit pricey at first glance for a beach shack, but this is hands down the best fried seafood on the planet. Plan to wait in line and possibly stand to eat, but it is worth it when you bite into a fried scallop or clam. more

This place is unbelievably yummy! Just a little shack by the side of the road - eat outside on the picnic tables or take your food to the beach. The fried shrimp are to die for! The place is a bit pricey but worth the splurge. more

Small selection, mostly fried food. Tasty, but not really meal-worthy. more

This place is too cute. Stand on line to order from very pleasant boy (who seemed to be 12-years old!). Get drinks from machine on premises or bring your own concoction! I will say we over ordered -- my son and I EACH had a medium chicken fingers and split large fries. It was so good we gobbled it down... more

It's a little clam shack that has the best fried clams on the island! Eat on one of the 2 picnic tables or walk down to the town beach in Menemsha ans enjoy the sunset. more
