Bigelow's New England Fried Clams

Great local seafood place in Rockville Center. Bigelow's has been around since 1939 and it is nothing fancy. They offer excellent New England and Manhattan clam chowder soups, as well fried shrimp and clam strips platters. Try Bigelow's New England Seafood. You will not be disappointed.

While waiting for my car to get fixed, I stumbled upon this quaint little clam bar that immediately stole my heart. Stepping inside, I was transported to a different era — rustic, cozy, and full of character. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with vintage decor and the smell of fresh seafood in the air. The highlight was, of course, the New England clam chowder -incredibly fresh and expertly prepared, rich and flavorful. Their fried clam strip sandwich...absolutely delicious! The staff was friendly and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. Locals come in and everyone knows all the tea. This place is a true hidden treasure, perfect for anyone craving authentic seafood in a relaxed setting. If you find yourself nearby, definitely give it a try — it’s a delightful find tha

Fresh seafood brought here for generations. Today they only had flounder and salmon. We orders salmon and it was excellent. I generally don’t like fried food, so fried clams were not up my alley. One way or another, the simple menu is well worth coming here and having a fresh grilled fish for lunch. Lots of seating places. See the pics.

Simply put this is the greatest New England style fried seafood you're ever going to eat. Run, don't walk if you're in the mood for seafood. Exceptional courtesy. Exceptional service by a friendly family-owned business. The food is always extremely fresh. Everything that comes to your table is delicious. I have been a chef since 1987 in the food service industry and I could go anywhere to get fish but I will always go out of my way to come here because it's the best experience I've ever had.

It's been a long time since I've returned to Bigelow's since I moved out of state. My job has me frequently traveling and I just so happen to visit NY from time to time. I relived my childhood when my aunt use to bring me here to get the popcorn shrimp and fries. Still delicious to this day. Highly recommend and I'm glad this place is still around after all these years.
