Rick's Fried Clams

We visited this stand twice during our stay. I got the lobster roll each time and purchased a side of their coleslaw. I’d put the slaw on the lobster roll and eat the leftover slaw afterwards. It was great! My wife got the chicken strips and said they weren’t anything to write home about. My dad enjoyed the crab cakes but said the first day’s was noticeably better than the second.

We ordered a big portion of calamari. Service is quite fast, we waited about 10' to be served. However, I think the food quality and quantity is not aligned with the price. It was fat, not crunchy, the squid is not fresh and small portion.

We've eaten at Rick's numerous times over the past 3 years and we've had delicious, fresh, haddock, scallops and clams every time!! The reason the atmosphere is a 5 star is because it's great to walk along the pier, grab food from Rick's, and then sit on the tables or benches along the center of the pier area. The fried food is cooked to perfection with a nice light colored batter suggesting they change their oil often. We recommend Rick's.

Order took longer than expected, lobster roll was okay but onions rings were doughy

Listen: I know it's fried food, I know this is a tourist spot. But I never eat fried anything and I ordered the crab cakes and came back for seconds. It was that good. You can tell everything is homemade, it's super hot and fresh, and the remoulade sauce was great. I only had the crab cakes but I saw other people walking away with fried clams, popcorn shrimp and calamari and it all looked just as hot and crispy and delicious. Suffice it to say, vastly exceeded my expectations for fried food at a "tourist trap." (I wish I had photos, but I ate it so fast there was no time, LOL).
