Al's Seafood - North Hampton

The food was good, could of been better if oil had been changed. But over all else that's here in New England to eat I give Al's 8 out of 10

Good fish shack type restaurant. Decent fried clams. Seafood chowder is excellent .

Have been going to Al's seafood for many years. Al was a very close family friend! Taylor lobster is running this place just like Al would have. Kudos

F9od was fabulous. Service good. The atmosphere is rustic but comfy.

We made a special trip to Al's Seafood because it was rated high and we weren't disappointed. Part of Al's Fish and Seafood Market, the restaurant is the left bldg. You order on a big billboard at a counter then you exit to the right and enter the main dining area where they serve your food fresh. Really easy to order. We ordered a cup of clam chowder, hot lobster roll and clam strips and fries. Chowder came first piping hot which is exactly how a chowder should be. Arguably some of the best chowder I've ever had in my life! You can really taste the fresh clams without them overwhelming the chowder. Nice chunks of potatoes, spiced and salted just right. Lobster roll was perfection. A gratuitous amount of fresh lobster in melted butter all heaped on a nicely toasted roll. Perfect amount of butter so as it didn't soak into the roll. Similarly to the clam chowder, the clam strips we're fresh as if they were just caught today. Nice side of crispy fries and a good slaw rounded out the lunch time meal. An honorable mention- -their tartar sauce was just awesome! Well balanced tangy/creamy deliciousness. We were actually full but kept eating the fries for that reason. The only nitpick things are that it's expensive (just seems to be the trend these days) and the clam strips could have been cooked a little bit longer. But that's more my preference. I like very crispy clam strips. Does not take away from the high rating. Final note--Staff were friendly, helpful and checked on us frequently. I HIGHLY recommend stopping in for lunch or dinner at Al's Seafood for an all-round fantastic seafood meal.
