Get here before they tear this place down for condos. Very fresh fish. They have their own loading dock right on the bay. Reasonable prices plus take out open yourself shellfish.
Feel bad about giving this negative review because the people were very nice but I bought (3) 7 oz lobsters and I ended up throwing 2 away. They were old and frost bitten. Very dissatisfied and a waste of money. Felt really bad because I have been visiting family and thought of making them a nice seafood dinner.
Thought this was a legitimate fresh fish market, unfortunately it’s not. I purchased cod here which was in season, when removed from the bag I smelled it and it was clear that it was soaked in bleach. So my recommendation is don’t buy from here unless you want 2week old fish that’s been soaked in bleach
What a great place to get FRESH SEAFOOD right off the boat! You can buy fresh fish to go home, you can order dinner or lunches to eat there. Everything made to order! My seafood combo which was EXCELLENT was only $20!! And the FRESH Lobster Mac and Cheese was only $12! Lunch crabcakes sandwhich with fries only $10! Best place to go. Right off Main Street in Islip. Has a beautiful outside seating area by the water to enjoy your food too.
I purchased 1 1/2 lbs of cooked shrimp for a shrimp platter appetizer to have on Thanksgiving. This was on Wednesday afternoon at 1:00 , the day before the holiday, so that it would be fresh.It went from their display case to my fridge at home by 1:30.When I opened it this morning to plate it up it smelledRancid. This shrimp had “turned” within 24 hours?It could only have be sold that way.It didn’t ruin the holiday and it isn’t t even the 20 odd dollars it cost. It was the seeming lack of concern or ignorance on the part of White Cap that their productWasn’t fit for consumption.I have been a customer for a long time but no longer.
A+ SelectionMontauk Tuna, Local Oysters, Cherrystone ClamsTop of the top!Insane quality and unbeatable atmosphereDockside Drive-In or Open Air seating as well as tables in the Market itself
Fresh local fish at a great price. Not many tables for dine-in service during winter time but still great food year round. Had teriyaki salmon my last visit, the price was unbeatable and had great portion size. Go white cap!
Great way to finish our Long Island trip! Fresh fish sitting by the water enjoying the sunset. Food was great. I particularly liked the Long Island clam chowder and the shrimp. Will come again. Just our kind of place.
Great fresh sea food. The monkfish was perfectly cooked and my son had the soft shell crab and thar was great too. Out door dining and views of the canal.Cant wait for the raw bar to open.
Fast and polite customer service. Fair prices and good food.
Great Food, Nice People, Old school classic fresh daily catch Fish Store, right on the Dock. Clean local casual eat in dining room. Clean & friendly Business.
Love this place. Its a family tradition. Every year we go for our Christmas eve seven fishes. Feel like family with Kathy.
I have been coming here for years. Great food. Great service. Fresh, right off the boat, fish are always on the menu. Prices are decent. Views are fantastic.
I moved from Bay Shore three years ago and travel from East Northport to get all my seafood. The shrimp is the best.
My spaghetti with white clam sauce was fabulous. My friends little crab cakes (12 of them) were full of crab meat. Others had delicious dishes. Staff was super helpful and friendly. Loved it?
In my opinion... The best hole in the wall fish market in Suffolk County. Lobster Rolls are a must (if you can get one, they go fast). Soft shell crab and fries... Perfect lunch spot if you dont mind the nautical/industrial setting. I happen to love it.
Foods was horrible and seafood was not fresh.Customer service was good.
Freshest seafood anywhere. Staff is the best, courteous, smart, and fast. Great dine in atmosphere in back on canal. Cant recommend enough
Very delicious clam chowder soup, the tasty crab cake, their food definitely top rated .
No frills, all fun, delicious and just right when youre craving a chill, by the water seafood joint.
Fresh sea food, good lobster s, river sideseeing
Place is fantastic.cant wait to summer to sit outside with a beer and some clams.
Very friendly service and the food was fresh, unfortunately as a seafood lover I thought the crab cake was filled with artificial crab meat so I didnt finish it. The fried calamari needed salt or some kind of seasoning they were freshly made but very bland. For the price and the recommendation from a co worker I expected better.
Great place. We have ordered her on several different occasions and then just because. Always fresh, friendly and accurate. I cant wait to visit the restaurant part!
I’m not sure if the other reviewers ate the same take out I had - my gf ordered flounder n fries 4 take out - she came home with under cooked fried fish and soggy fries (our bad we should of checked the bag upon receipt) so she went back to ask for better cooked aka new - we got re-cooked as in burnt fried fish and extra crispy as in burnt fries as it was refried instead of just starting over - waste of 25 bucks - don’t go there
White Cap Fish Market is still as good as the first time I went there 25 years agoThe fish dinners are perfectly cooked, plenty to satisfy the hungriest diner and so fresh that they are almost still moving. Sitting outside on the dock just adds to the whole experience of a perfect Long Island lunch.Dont forget to buy some fresh caught fish in the market to enjoy at home.
White Cap has been around for a long, long time. There is a good reason for it. It is not a 5 star restaurant. Its a fish market that has a small kitchen. That is what makes it so good. Go ahead and check it out. I love it.
We went there for takeout and we wanted to have Alaskan King crab legs. But we were concerned about where we would eat them. The manager Vinnie offered to set us up with a private table on the dock. The food was delicious. Thanks to Vinnie and his crew for making our lunch fantastic.
This is where its at. Delicious raw clams and oysters. Steamed clams were delicious too - the butter underneath oh my goodness so good! Highly recommend stopping by, eating outside, and relaxing next to the Bay after a beach day ☺️☺️
Ordered the steamers they were 18.00 very small portions and full of sand. The calamari was very good. Disappointed with the steamers so much sand couldnt even eat them.food is normally good however through the steamers out. Very dissatisfied
I love this place! The food is so fresh and the staff is so accommodating. They even brought my purchase to my truck! The fried seafood combo and lobster roll was terrific. But everything I’ve ever had here was. I’ll be back real soon.
Love White Cap! I always feel like Im on a mini vacation when Im there. Food is delicious! Very accomodating and hard working staff. Treated my friend to lunch the other day and he loved it! ❤ 🐟 I look forward to my next visit!
Delicious seafood thats always fresh. Great outdoor seeting right on the water.
Loved eating here and ordering to go! But Im very disappointed in the service.I called to place an order to pick up. I tell the guy I need 5 dozen of clams to be picked up. He asks another gentleman if it would be too much for him to open 5 dozen clams guys says yes the guy taking my order says Im sorry but we can not open 5 dozen clams because its too busyMeanwhile it was my father birthday and he wanted clams.Super disappointed!
Kinda hard to find since its all the way at the end of a dirt road...but overall very good service and great prices! Highly recommend!
White Cap is literally the BEST restaurant in ALL of Long Island. Dont think otherwise, this place is THE REAL DEAL. Great, fresh fish every day all day, a fantastic staff, and a scenery that almost itself captures what Long Island is all about. And thats not even mentioning their FANTASTIC owner, who always makes my day when I come here, and always manages to make me laugh. COME HERE, and you will REALLY have a taste of Long Island.
My mother used to go there every Christmas Eve in the 50s. My family have been going there ever since. You are guaranteed that the fish is fresh right off the boat. They have out side patio in the summer for lunch and dinner and a raw seafood bar. I love it.
If your looking for extravagant ambiance this is not the place for you. If you love fresh sea food like great grandma & grandpa just made at their bay shack. Youll find this refreshing... Enjoy...
Been going here since i was a young teen with my parents. Best sea food place imo since everything is fresh and the clam/oyster bar in the summer is the best. Trust me I’ve gone to almost every place on and off main street and no one has seafood like these guys. It may not be fancy but the food is incredible.
A hidden gem! Super fresh seafood and good prices makes this locale a must try. With outdoor seating on the canal is perfect for a nice summer dinner experience. The best blackened Mako around and freshest little necks makes this one of my favourite seafood spots by far. Try it, youll be hooked.
My sister ordered me a lobster dinner for my birthday it was awesome the lobster meat was fresh and sweet. I loved the large clams that came with it you got a piece of clam in every bite. I going to come back myself and order 👍👍👍
Amazing Fish Market/Restaurant (and take-out).This place is awesome for two important reasons:1) The fishmongers are experts and break-down whole fish/clean shellfish to order.2) The fish quality is excellent and the fishmongers are 100% transparent/honest about fish type...I’ve been to other fish markets that try to sell farmed fish as wild fish...never at white cap.The prices are very reasonable too.Best items: Wild Salmon (I get several pounds at a time and they break-down half a fish into 1/4-1/2 pound fillets), Frozen Vacuum-Packed Black Cod (thaws perfectly), Frozen Vacuum-Packed Halibut, Uncooked Crab Cakes, U10 Shrimp (take-out raw...they de-shell/clean...also amazing when they grill it), Prepared Linguini in Clam Sauce (amazing), Long Island Clam Chowder (a unique version).There’s also a very authentic/not fancy outdoor area (on the water)...I love to get clams/oysters on the half shell...and ice cold beers...amazing.
This is a place where you must eat in person, I have eaten there 20+ times but just did take out for the 1st time. By the time I got everything home it was over cooked and cold...not the restaurants fault really but just a fact of take out seafood. Anyway eat there 100% maybe second guess a take out ride of more than t minutes.
Weve bought fish here for more years than I care to admit. Outside dining is amazing also. Great little hidden gem in Islip. Reasonably priced also !
Very disappointed. They were closed during their normal business hours. After planning our meal we went there to find a sign stating Too hot. Closed. Gone fishing. Yes it was hot. Thats why we wanted to eat out. We took the extra time to drive to Claws Seafood in Sayville. ..they were happy to serve us and the food was excellent.
The place to go on the South Shore for super FRESH shrimp and wonderful homemade soups to survive the Frosty Long Island winter. Specials change frequently. I recently had crab stuffed mushroom caps that were full of lumps of crab, Old Bay seasoning and tender tiny diced celery topped with delicately flavored bread crumbs. Simply superb!Baked clams generous large 3 clam portion, a pink Spalding size melange of spices, old Bay, celery, big meaty clams, incredibly priced at 9 bucks.OFF THE HOOK GOOD: Long Island chowder, a perfect mix of New England and Manhattan chowders. Served STEAMING AND PIPING HOT. Prices were outstanding, chowder was 3 for a cup, 5 for a pint.
It was a great mom and pop shop! Great price, great service, great people!
For what they charge, it’s not worth it. Ordered Seafood Fra Diavolo with Lobster. It was bland and not spicy at all. When called and questioned the price because there are no prices on their website, was told if I wanted it spicy I should have asked. Last time I checked Fra Diavolo meant spicy why would I need to ask for that? Will not order from here ever again.
I had wanted to check this place out for years! Finally did so and was so glad I did!! I ordered the broiled monkfish dinner. WOW! Everything was delicious including the vegetable medley!!. If you LOVE fish, this is the place for you. It is small and cozy but I did take out.
Order inside eat inside or outside. Nice fish market too. Manhattan clam chowder was barely okay. Nice Lobster roll for the money fries were excellent. Clams and oysters were nice fresh and plump.
I love this place💕the fish is really fresh, today is my father-in-law’s birthday and he and his friend went there they loved it to. Kathy is very accommodating, I had a special request for my father-in-law and she went above and beyond to make it happen I will be returning very soon thank you again sincerely Laura
TREAT YOURSELF! We LOVE this place! Best of the best Local Fresh Seafood around.Unless you have a need to be waited on by wait staff in $100+ dollar out fits with menu prices to match...& sorry but theres no Valet Parking. Just Casual Far for over 80yrs.
I Love White Cap. Everyone is truly amazing, super sweet and the food is delicious !! Patrick knows how cook amazing dishes and hes super funny. I always get the salmon, its always cooked perfectly! Summer time is the best they have everything set up out side where you can enjoy listening to the water to even watching the sun go down. Even in the winter they are open, yes its a bit chilly outside but its the people who work there make you feel at home. Kathy and Vinny always making sure your enjoying yourself, if they get busy you will see them jumping in and helping. You dont see that in many places. Jack and the boys who run the market are always working so hard and making sure you leave with what you want and as well making you smile in the progress. Their hospitality is perfect as well as their fresh fish. I love this place!! A+++++
These guys never seem to fail to impress me. First time here I got the two 1 1/2 lb Lobsters, clam strips, long island chowder, jumbo shrimp, clams and oysters. By far the freshest and more genuine seafood experience I had in a long time. Today was the seccond time I visited to eat in. We got baked clams, blackened mako with linguini and clam sauce, long island chowder and oysters. Again, amazing and very pleased. Thank you very much guys. I surf and its really nice to have a seafood restaurant close by to feast on. The freshness you guys offer is amazing and the vibe you guys offer is even better. Weather Im bringing a date, coming right after a beach sesh, or after work for a quick pick up, not shaved in basketball shorts or dressed up casually I know Ill be welcomed to pick off your menu and I feel like home coming to your place. Keep it up. Everything. The youngerguys working there, the Bay smell during low tide....all of the selections.....you guys are killing it. Of course theres other options like salt and barrel and swept away and coastal but for the money and experience theres no other place better than white cap. Thank you guys always.
I would say the best place for Fresh fish to be prepared for you on Long Island. The food here was unbelievably great I have tried the Char grilled Mako Shark and the blackened monkfish and would recommend both dishes, Im sure everything is amazing. The atmosphere is what chain restaurants try and replicate it is authentic here and glad to have it as a part of my life.
First time here in many years and will never go back. Prices were decent but food was gross. We got the new and approved baked clams which looked like mud and tasted no better. My daughter has a stomachache from eating them. Also ordered 1 dozen little neck raw clams which were big not little and some of them didnt look good so we returned them for a refund. The Long Island chowder was thrown in a container and not even mixed up. The entire staff is teenagers and I honestly dont think they know what they are doing nor do they care. Its really a shame because its a hidden gem of a place right on the water casual no frills.
Always a great meal, and plenty fun having drinks with friends and family. Very close to everything on Main Street which makes it ideal for a day out with friends as the final destination or just a great stop on the way to the bar scene!
I used to ride my bike to this place from Country Village in East Islip. Who would have thought Id be back there again 50 years later to find the hallmark fishing boat hull sitting on the patio being used as a raw bar this summer! Still the freshest of sea food but now they have a kitchen; nothing fancy but well run with great food. I had my boat in Islip most of the summer and would dine there 2-3 times a week. Never had a bad meal and always had great service from the staff. Not sure how they will handle their regulars with winter upon us but this is definitely worth a stop for fresh seafood to take home and make it yourself or let the culinary team do it for you. You wont be disappointed!
Disappointed. Ordered special of the day for seafood Mac n cheese but they told me when it was time to pay that they sold out despite the boss asking while I ordered if they have it. Then handed me my money back without the option of anything else. Then on top of that I got seafood bisque but it had no flavor. It was all a waste.
Much improved. Had twin lobster with fries. Lobsters were fresh & the fries were crisp. Sitting by the dock also had shrimp cocktail and clams on 1/2 shell. All fresh and good.
Hands down my favorite place for seafood. Cant go wrong with anything on the menu.
Great Seafood, the chef has an impressive classic mustache. I like the rustic pier side outdoor dining area. I go there during three out of four seasons.
My catfish sandwich was just great!
We went there to have dinner waited 45min and the chef was yelling at everyone if the staff and throwing pots and screaming as we was going to order he yelled at the lady going to take our order and told her they have to wait till he was done with the order he was not done with..Very bad performance
Best casual place to grab fresh seafood by the water...its where the nicest people hang out! Hope to see you again Gwen & Ann ; )
The food was exceptional!! The staff was soooooo friendly, it made us not want to leave. Definitely recommend to everyone!! The fish was really fresh and the prices were very reasonable.
Commercial fish dock and market with a kitchen, inside and outside dining tables. Excellent, reasonably priced seafood served on disposable dinnerware but I didt come for the plates! The broiled seafood platter is enough for two meals. Outside waterfront dining on the canal with resin chairs and tables made from cable spools.
They have a good selection of fresh wild fish. You wont find any Frankenfish here. The owners were very knowledgeable about their products, and they helped me make a good dinner choice.
The raw bar was excellent. Very fresh and reasonably priced. The fried clams were just ok. The baked clams were good. The best part was that the beer was ice cold.
A hidden gem. Not fancy, but fresh. Indoor benches and outdoor seating to enjoy the seafood.... Fresh clams to fried fish. BTW, purchase fresh fish at the in house market on your way out.Enjoy
If you are in the mood for seafood this is the place to go. This market serves the freshest seafood possible.
Fresh Seafood, Very Clean establishment, Deliciously prepared. Only 5 dine-in tables but plenty of outside tables with view of dockside. Prices are reasonable and Staff very friendly. A+
What a great find! Very reasonably priced and you cant get frsher seafood, individual fishermen were delivering some fresh catch as we walked in! Everything we had was excellent and the stuffed scallop shells were out of this world.
Crab cake was cold. A bit hard to find. Fresh fish though! Nice service. But warm food not all that good during lunch hour.
It came in a foil container to big, so I wouldnt spill the broth. They said it was two pounds, but theyre generous. You could taste the rye and celery, an accomplishment over all that butter ah steamers
Very casual outdoor dining on the water. Always good fresh fish. This fish market / restaurant has been delivering fresh fish for a very long time.
Spent $100 on 1lb of king crab, 1lb of snow crab and 1 lobster tail. Pricey but fresh and delicious
The best fish market around for fresh fish, you know its a good fish market with fresh fish when you walk in and dont smell fish. Their little sit down area has some amazing prepared food their soups are second to none!!
Bit of a hidden seafood gem on the south shore of long Island. Both a seafood market and restaurant serving up fresh fish and amazing chowders.
Great wet bar on a quiet canal setting with tables outside and very fresh food and great service. Order ahead because they do so much business wait times can be long.
This is a fish market and the restaurant is there. No frills, just fantastically fresh fish and a cook who knows how to cook seafood. You know how many times youve gone to a restaurant and had the seafood overcooked or just not quite right? White Cap Fish Comapny is less than 30 feet from the boats that catch the seafood that they cook. I swear the swordfish was still twitching when they put it on the grill!! Dont expect cloth napkins and a sommelier ( you get your own beer or wine from the cooler) but do expect to enjoy the food. Although we went in December and, baby, it was cold outside, the warmth of the staff cancelled out the shivers. For the warmer months, White Cap has an outside area with cover over tables right on the dock to enjoy the outside complete with seagulls and inbound fishing boats. Call in for take out ready when you arrive or eat in. Kick back and enjoy....its good!!
What a awesome hidden away place to dineOr take home the freshest sea food straight from the boats docked in canal along side.I took home stuffed flounder stuffed shrimp cooked it at home awsome fresh.
Have been coming here since back in the day. Something has changed the food has no flavor at all and the French fries aren’t even cooked it’s gross they are hard not even crisp and they are wet and soggy. It’s Nasty Never again .And the online menu has No Prices I got the shock of my life one time 2 dinners came to $75 in the Winter It’s a waste of money I don’t know what happened to this place
The lobster roll was amazing! Prompt service and a nice seating area on the pier to enjoy your meal.
Went there, got food, but it wasnt good 😕.
Sit by the dockside, and enjoy seafood . Reasonable prices. Beautiful view.
I very much enjoyed their dishes and customer service, great location to where I live. The staff members are always nice. Will visit here again.
Delicious food! Freshest fish. Great outside (seasonal) seating & raw bar (faaantastic). Great meals quickly made at good prices.
No flavor, no seasoning. Food very bland and unappealing. All went into garbage.
Great selection of fresh fish. Very friendly staff. Thumbs up!
A hidden gem in eastern long IslandSituated on a dock off the Montauk highway in Islip a wonderful seafood choice
Its an insult to serve your customers dead stinking clams on the half shell. This is supposed to be a fish market with fresh food. The clams were gross and disgusting. Its nearby but Ill never go back.
Hi WHITE CAP FISH MARKET. Ive never been to your restaurant but seeing all the wonderful and beautiful reviews make me stop in for some fried whittes,shrimp and french fries plus a Cole slaw
Great rustic fish market w eating service on dock. Beer n wine sold. Enjoy eating on the water at reasonable prices.
WhiteCap seafood is fresh as can be but very vey expensive and the old man with white mustache is very rude when your paying for expensive seafood you want what you want not what they want to give you i ask the young kid there for lobsters 1 1/4 he gave me 2 lb lobsters and when i said what i want they gave me a attitude i ending up paying $100 for 4 lobsters i personally will never go back there i will take my money to another seafood market
Great dinner with friends, Tryed the raw combo, broiled combo, fried clams, also tasted the calamari over linguini. All was amazing.
My friend and went there for the first time just recently and I have to day the food was absolutely delicious and the staff is very polite and helpful, most definitely coming back.
Good service thats why i gave 3 starsTried all their chowders and they had barely any clams and the Manhattan tasted like Campbell’s veggie soup. A disappointment
BEST BEST BEST food.. Greatest kitchen crew on the planet and outdoor seating on the water cant be beat. Casual... totally casual.
The food is fantastic! Its nice to sit and watch the water, relax while having a great meal.
Best Seafood,Dining outside is simply the best! Great staff,excellent service! More reasons to visit soon!
The seafood is always fresh and in the warmer months you can have fresh seafood, raw bar and cold brews outdoors.
Very knowledgeable staff! The place is warm and inviting and the selection is outstanding!
On the docks, youd think you made a mistake, its right where the warehouse & mechanic shop is. But the food was good, price was very reasonable, and we will be back soon!
Great sea food at a decent price. Nice ambiance, but need to do something about wasp.
Love this place!!!! Easy dining.. Cold beer.. On the water... What it lacks in ambiance, it has in fresh seafood. Yummy
Very bad experience ordering take-out today. My broiled catfish with vegetables came undercooked with no vegetables. The fried oysters were undercooked and soggy.
Pat their chef is a great guy and awesome cook. My father has bringing me here since I was ten now Im twenty seven and will continue coming here.
Calamari not tender and tasted of old oil. Overall, food just average, where is was closer to outstanding in the past
Great food the lobster rolls & French fries are great as well as the crab cakes, friendly cooks.
They had exactly what I was looking for, and nice and fresh. Good service. Place us a bit difficult to find
Good Seafood.. reasonably priced. wish they had a more extensive menu
Very casual, you can sit and chat for hours and nobody will bother you. Good fresh seafood, rustic atmosphere - working harbor.
The food was good but the corn was ice cold.
Great!! love the soup.. 😋 I have never had a bad meal here. Not always perfect, but never bad..
No frills, great local place where you can buy fresh-caught seafood. Doubles as a restaurant where you can buy a seafood meal, or a fish market where you can buy fresh seafood to cook at home.
Good place for a quick bite, always great selection of fresh seafood. Call ahead for shark... It goes quick
The people were so very welcoming so very friendly and helpful and the fish is fresh and delicious
Vey laid back, chill place. We went went strait from the beach. Food is always fresh and delicious. Lunch Specials r until 3 pm.
Went out of White Cap Fish on the Sarah Beth for a while season of longlining. Shes a grand old wood hull swordboat.. Oh, and the fish market is okay too lol!!
Very nice owner. Strives to make you happy. Google local needs to be updated though. They are open till 730 on weekends and 7 during the week.....
The selection was limited, and they didnt have whole fish for grilling. The place is a little dingy looking.
Pick up some fresh fish.
Last of the fishmongers. Doesnt get any fresher than that. They are always busy cause its worth the wait
Great little place to grab some fresh seafood just the bathroom is a port a potty so go to Starbucks if you have to lol
One of my favorites for seafood. Very casual. Eat outside.
My addiction to blue claw crabs brings me to this little dockside fish market. Friendly staff and reasonable prices.
Fresh seafood. Great atmosphere. Lots of outdoor seating.
Had everything I wanted seafood wise and prices were great. Staff is friendly and helpful.
Very fresh fish. Excellent seafood bisque. Very good lobster roll.
The reason why I loved this place is because There are so many seafood stuff there.
Always a nice afternoon spent here, on the water, with some fresh seafood. Its a family staple.
Purchased a few items for an at home New years Eve celebration.Food was good but not remarkable.
Great food. Beautiful waterfront location. Casual atmosphere.
Fish detection was great but the other customers were rude and impolite. Best to get your stuff and leave.
Hi quality all around
Food was great but on Thursday I put in my order and had to wait to hrs they served like 5 people behind me first and my order was not big horrible service
Get the oyster !! Best in long island for sure !
Good food would go back again

Great lobster roll looking to go back and try more off the menu
Super nice people but my friend shrimp tasted burnt. Maybe its the oil.

2022-06-18Excellent sea food! You wouldnt even know this place is here. You have to drive down to the end of the dock, past the warehouse and park. Go inside and place your order at the window. Large selection of seafood and combos. Also they have New England, Manhattan, and Long Island Clam Chowder. We had the Long Island and it was outstanding. Also had the seafood bisque and it was great also. We had the fried seafood combo and it was prepared perfectly. Not greasy. Nice and crisp coating. Well seasoned. Definitely fresh seafood.You can also buy raw seafood at the counter. They have a lot of variety of fresh fish and shrimp. Live lobsters.Friendly staff. Everything came out really quickly after ordering. You can sit inside or outside right by the channel and watch the birds and boats.

2022-03-28Decided to go on a quest to find a decent lobster roll locally for some guests that are coming up to visit. I heard that White Cap should be a contender and gave it a try. Chef told me how they make the lobster sauce fresh every morning and it really makes it taste great. The dish they served it with included French fries, cole slaw, pickle and salad. So they are now #1 in the running!So here I am several weeks later. My company arrived and we went to White Cap to try the winner of my quest for best lobster roll in the area and they came through again! My daughter experienced the same as my first experience. It is just too good to risk stopping eating and hoping the leftover will be anywhere as good the next day! (Her photo focused on the lobster roll but everything else is still included)

2022-06-01Best place to get the FRESHEST seafood around!! Plus..you can call ahead and have your food waiting for you..Also, they have a kitchen there for really hot fresh seafood too!! And you can sit on tables looking out at the water..Great place...been there for years with the same family..

2022-04-13Best seafood in Bay Shore hands down. They rival Southside in Lindenhurst. One day I’ll do a side by side comparison. Good mollusks and fish. All fresh and good prices as well. They have a few tables inside and more in the back when the weather is nice. To get there you drive down a street next to a canal and end up in a different world that hearkens back to a forgotten era of Long Island history when fishing and clamming was the industry around here.

2019-06-29Im not easily impressed, but their soups are damn good. Their seafood is good, although Im not the biggest fan of crab, its completely because of the work involved. Ive still had my share of blue claws, but Im more of a fan of swordfish, salmon, and mussels. The service is usually great, but if you get here during a dinner rush, be prepared to wait. Just put in your order, find a table, and enjoy the harbor while you wait.

2019-05-01Hard to find as it is set way in the back of a long dirt road off main St. Once back there you can see fisherman shucking clams right off the boat so it does not get any more fresh than this!! There are only 4 or 5 tables for seating but looks like in the summer they have an outdoor clam bar. You order at the counter and it is served fresh and hot. There is also a fish market if you prefer to buy it and cook it at home. I had baby scallops with fries and Cole slaw. It was very good and portions were so large it was actually 2 meals. Only improvement I would suggest is a thorough cleaning of the dining area, scrubbing down the tables, chairs, walls and condiment bottles.
