"The "menu" is an assortment of signs posted on the wall, from which we quickly ordered two each of the four oysters on offer (Bluepoint, Kumamoto, Miyagi, and Olympia), making an even two dozen; three cups of clam chowder; and a crab Louis salad to share...."

"The Clam Shack anchors one end of the bridge that connects Kennebunk to Kennebunkport. There are no utensils in the house because everything served is finger food, eminently suitable for eating while leaning against the bridge railing or just standing on..."

"t tip: Wear machine-washable clothes, as you will undoubtedly get spattered with shellfish bits or juices, whether by your own hand, the adjacent diners squeezed in next to you along the narrow counter, or by the staff busily shucking, cracking, and fling..."

| "Half fish market and half diner, this small, slim seafood operation, open since 1912, has no tables, only a narrow marble counter with about a dozen and a half stools. Most people come in to buy perfectly fresh salmon, halibut, crabs, and the like to take..." |

"Turning 94 years old in 2006, Swan Oyster Depot is a classic San Francisco dining experience you shouldn't miss. Opened in 1912, this tiny hole-in-the-wall, run by the city's friendliest servers, is little more than a narrow fish market that decided to sl..."

| ""This place rocks; the fish is unbelievably fresh and the service is really fast. There’s only a long, skinny counter with about 20 seats, so you can expect to cool your heels in line for at least 20 minutes most days...." |

| "This place is a well known hot spot with lines out the door in part due to its very limited seating, but it provides a rare experience that feels a lot like summers spent on the Cape. The staff even remind me of the folks in the seafood markets back East...." |

| ""An always-too-crowded oyster bar with a row of nineteen wobbly stools and a menu on the wall that lists little more than shellfish, Swan Oyster Depot has been a beacon for seafood lovers since it opened in 1912. Oysters from the east and west coasts are..." |

"There are only 18 stools at Swan's well-worn marble counter (continuously in use since 1912), so you often have to wait in line for a crack at the fresh oysters and clams opened to order here. We also love the buttery, creamy clam chowder, and can't resis..."
