Seaside Tavern

The good one
on the road.

Oysters, whole fish and a proper drink, a hundred feet from the Atlantic. Open until one in the morning, which on this stretch of coast makes us the last kitchen standing.

From the Bar

A short, well-made list, and a wine selection that goes with fish.

The Raw Bar

Shucked in front
of you.

Whatever is best that day, on ice, opened to order. Sit at the raw bar and you can watch it happen, which is most of the point.

Half dozen or a full one. Mignonette, cocktail sauce, and lemon that was cut this morning.
