1979 Old Drive In Picture

Our Story

In 1979, our original "roadside clam stand" opened with just four picnic tables! At that time, we made a very important promise to each and every one of our customers:

- to serve only the finest, freshest seafood available
- to give generous portions
- to provide prompt friendly service
- to keep our prices reasonable.

Many years later, we still stand behind this commitment. With the help of a great staff (many who have worked with us for most of these 43 years), we're proud that we now serve over 10,000 people on a busy summer weekend. With your support, we will continue this tradition for many,many more years! Enjoy your visit & taste New England's finest seafood.

Best Fishes and See You at the Westbrook or Madison Fish Tale,
Lenny & Joe and Jim.

Our Original Home

This photo, from the summer of 1979,  is probably the earliest photo that we have of our original 1979 Drive-In. 
We were thrilled when we found this old slide in 2022.

In 1979 we did not have cell phones and taking photos was not priority #1.

Since 1979
