Fish Tacos in Montauk

A Real Montauk Seafood Adventure

58 S Erie Ave, Montauk, NY 11954

Jim and Olga are visiting Montauk.  They enjoyed the fish tacos here on a previous visit.  This time there was some problem with the order.

Notes

They placed the order, and were told 15 minutes... then 20 minutes later, they were told another 15 minutes.

Needless to say, the Galvin's were not amused.  But the tacos were great.

Another Second Choice - With a So-So result

Welcome to BOSTWICK'S CHOWDER HOUSE

277 Pantigo Road, East Hampton NY 11937 

Our intent was to visit the Hudson Blue Crab House in Bridgehampton.  The website looked great, the reviews looked great.  The problem was that they did NOT survive the summer and are permanently closed.

Notes

I cannot be sure the crab was in the building when the New England Clam Chowder was made.  A terrible thought for a place calling itself a "Chowder House"

Pretty good potato soup... HORRIBLE Clam Chowder

Great fried oysters

Lobster poutine + great.

The old Fish Bar becomes the Gin Beach Cafe

Gin Beach Cafe

In Montauk, the restaurants are always changing.  This is where FISH BAR used to be.  It was hard to get that expectation out of my head.  This new place is not too bad.

Notes

Looks the same as before...

Almost

Not a full liquor license yet:  just beer and wine.  Does BYOB extend to a bottle of vodka?

The help and vibe were of a family that had run a diner for years, very much a mature 'whatever' attitude.

The staff went to the kitchen to check the catch of the day.  It was reported to be fluke, tilefish, or cod.  Of course, that was wrong, and the choice I had chosen WAS NOT available.  Good, because I learned what tilefish is and that we like it!

We took it to go for a picnic at Gin Beach. 

Softshell crab and tuna tacos.

Tilefish wrap. The sauce made the wrap soggy, but the taste was great!

House fries - Originally thought they were flaccid and bad, but we changed our mind.

Jack's Lobster Shack

.

541 E Lake Dr, Montauk, NY 11954

I forget where we were going, but we passed this on the way to go shopping and decided to stop.  Great Choice. Not what we expected to find in Edgewater.

Notes

Lobster Roll 

Fried Clam Bellies
