Costello’s Clam Shack - Noank, CT


One of my favorite things about living in New England during the summer is being able to eat fresh seafood by the water. 

Since CT is in the process of their Phase 1 reopening, many restaurants have welcomed customers back with outdoor seating, just in time for the warm weather.

Temperatures reached into the upper 70s and low 80s today and boats were docked at the shipyard once again. 

Not only is it the first time I have sat down to eat at a restaurant since the shutdown, but I also had my first lobster roll of the year--before the first day of summer!!

For you seafood lovers who aren’t big fans of the large crustacean, Costello’s also has a wide variety of fried seafood (like the fried whole belly clam roll shown in the picture, served with fries on the side--I substituted one of the orders for sweet potato fries instead of regular ones, for something a little bit different). They also have stuffed clams, and the classic New England clam chowder.
The clams were HUGE and juicy. The lobster roll was a little light, but it was still very tasty. 😋😋 I look forward to returning to some of my favorite restaurants over the next few days as the weather continues to stay nice.

Thanks for checking out my blog!

I ended up taking the rest home for lunch the next day. For appetizers, I had Prosciutto Wrapped Sea Scallops . It was wood grilled and served with cilantro sauce, piquillo pepper & jicama salsa, and charred corn, kind of like a corn salsa. I also had Spinach & Artichoke Dip , and it was the best I've had in awhile! It was topped with fr...
