I have been here for lunch twice recently.. Each time, a wonderful experience.. Always a friendly waitress and always really nice seafood.. A dozen oysterS, some cold lobster knuckles, Kirin Draft beer for me, and a few different whites for Miss A.

Oysters are 1.50 a piece during lunch.. We ordered 12, then another 6.

The horseradish is finely shaved.



Lobster knuckles.. Served with butter but, there is no need for that.


Clam roll


All sandwiches are 14 bucks with a beer.

Trout BLT on foccacia.. The bacon comes from a bacon mayo.. Bread is not too doughy.. i feared it would be too much bread. But here, everything is perfectly executed .. Onion rings are great..


Not crowded for weekday lunches.. What a really great place.

Nice photos, Daniel, but why a squirrel, I wonder?

Fantastic footage, Daniel!

Yes, I like my appetizers bigger than my main courses too.

The restaurant must be owned by Ramapo Mountain People, for whom (I have recently learned) squirrels are a staple of the diet.

We like Brooklyn Fish Camp. I always think of their food as nothing all that special but usually very fresh, good fish, well prepared. In the warmer months when the garden is open it's a great place to go early with kids.

Funny enough. the bartender/waitress, April, that was working yesterday made a Ramapo Mountain people reference.. Was their recently an article about them? She was explaining them to us yesterday.. I asked her where she was from and she told me she was a Jackson White. Actually, the last two waitresses that were working were pretty hysterical.. I asked her if she did stand up.


I dont mean the place is like over the top amazing.. I am saying that everything is really well prepared.. For those of you into the NBC cuisine subject.. I would call this the grand father to NBC.. This is West Village precious.. Oysters are fresh.. Really nice condiments.. Fries ,onion rings and fish sandwiches are very good.. If you arent getting the clam roll, I would suggest the fried sardine sandwich..

Yep, big story recently. I think it was in the New Yorker. Everyone will soon say that they're a "Jackson White". Or maybe a New Brooklyn Jackson White.

I'm a Bronx Jackson White.

Taxidermy very millennial.

This is West Village precious..

As it should be, being a branch of someplace in the West Village.

I think this is clearly one of the better places on the Fifth Avenue Restaurant Row.

I agree with you Daniel, I think you and I feel the same way.

Coming from you, that's a great compliment.

[H. du Bois]

Great report, Daniel. It's ridiculous how many times I've walked past this place, but have never gone in. Now I shall.

[Sneakeater]

I'd never had steamers here before.

Guess what?

Yet ANOTHER place that doesn't serve steamers in their broth.

OK, they're ahead of Choptank: they serve the broth in a bowl alongside the bowl of steamers, so you can dunk them and clean them. Except, maybe it was my technique, but I couldn't clean them enough.

On the whole, a fairly unpleasant experience.

This is a good, solid place. I'm not telling you to stay away. Just don't order the steamers.

actually that's how I grew up eating them. Extra broth on the side to dip and remove the grit. Sounds like the kitchen doesn't know how to clean them.

[Daniel]

Yeh, spending summers on Martha's Vineyard and eating steamers by the bucket, I have never had them in their own broth.. Always on the side to dip and clean.. You gotta add a little cornmeal or starch to let them spit out the sand.
