Silvershell Counter & Kitchen

Ate lunch here on a Saturday afternoon. I had a fried oyster roll and my wife had the fried shrimp roll. We sat at the bar and watched them made fresh in front of us. Tasted great and good quality. Each came with a side of fries which were thin cut and crispy. Also got a side of slaw which was a good portion and pretty good. We enjoyed our meals and look forward to trying other things on the menu.

Shocked by all the 1 to 3 star reviews based on the price of seafood in a landlocked town. Right next door you can pay almost $20 for a bowl of noodles or come here for a lobster roll. Silver Shell gets a 5 from me based on taste and service. Every time we come to the market we are excited for the adventure, and we always get one foot in the door and know we want Silver Shell first! My kids love the experience of being able to sit and watch the chefs cook and prepare the food. The transparency of being able to see your food cooked in front of you in todays world is something special. I love that they use simple and fresh ingredients that don’t overpower the seafood. You won’t find many places around here using dill the way they do. If you want fried food this is also the place for thick, crisp, batter with flaky tender fish inside! Make sure to order extra fries, whoever is with you will ask you to try one, but they won’t stop at one. Promise.

Good addition to the Easton Public Market. We had Fish and Chips, a bowl of New England Clam Chowder and some raw oysters. The raw oysters were great. They were sweet, a tad tangy, not a hint of grit. It went down from there, as the batter of the fish patties were soggy and the fries were cold and "limpy". The chowder was off, runny, with some clam bits floating in a thin broth. To us, the chowder needs the most improvement, as it does not follow any known chowder style, not thick enough for New England, but too thick for Rhode Island. Perhaps they want to be difference, but it misses the mark by a mile. We were hoping to have a casual seafood spot to go in the area, but this joint needs to get a bit better for us to go back regularly. The prices are high for the casual place. The wait was quite long. May be they are still figuring this thing out!!!!

Bolete is one of our favorite restaurants and we would really like for SSC+K to thrive as well. However, we were visiting nearly weekly spending $70+ each visit on lox and crab cakes to go so we were very surprised when suddenly charged $2.00 for a small portion of remoulade. The clerk was very curt when telling me that it was no longer included. It's not the price that was the issue but her lack of customer service etiquette and her desire to make $2.00 rather than provide a positive customer experience. Most recently, we decided to sit down for a couple of lobster rolls, before purchasing the crab cakes to go. When paying $60.00 for two sandwiches(with tip), one would expect something quite amazing. The lobster 'salad' was quite tasteless and the fries were very salty, hard and oily. The best thing about the meal was the pickled garnish. The rolls were very disappointing and we won't order them again. It was also very awkward to be seated literally a few feet away from the cooks and they never once acknowledged our presence--no greeting, no thanks--nothing. The clerks also seem to lack any customer service training and just seemed to be completely uninterested in their work. They were both on their phones in between assisting customers--not a very sanitary practice. We are big fans of lobster rolls and visit a local restaurant every Sunday solely to have them. The price is 20% less and the roll is overflowing with large chunks of perfectly cooked and seasoned lobster and the fries are delicious. The staff at that restaurant is very engaging and professional--an altogether much more pleasurable experience.

I had hopes, but their lobster roll was quite terrible. The lobster meat was flavorless. The roll was flavorless. I would have been far happier with imitation crab meat, Old Bay, and white bread, as that would have been an improvement. The price: $22 for a way less than 6 inch roll, with a small scoop’s worth meat, a little bit of green salad, and a large helping of fries. That’s “reasonable” for a buttery, tasty lobster roll. For what I got, it’s highway robbery. I love Bolete, Mr. Lee’s is great (other establishments by the same owner) but this place was terrible. Other diners were unhappy and openly complaining. And the service... if I order a lobster roll, just ring up my lobster roll please. I don’t need to hear about specials after I say “I don’t want to hear your specials, as I’m specifically here for a lobster roll”. Seems straightforward, but the employee refused to NOT tell me about the specials. Umm, you got my money already so... I really wanted a great lobster roll! This was quite a disappointment. Now I’m debating driving 30 miles south to get a real lobster roll (from Warrington, from the rather famous restaurant with crab fries, to not directly name-names). There comparably priced lobster roll is big, flavorful and seems like an absolute bargain now.
