Originally formed at the Wellfleet Oyster Festival,
Pirate Shellfish has been serving our famous
homemade clam fritters and fried dough since
2004. We have tried to increase our presence in
the annual festival every year. Pirate Shellfish
founded the biggest oyster competition, with
proceeds going to a local charity. Featuring our
renowned raw bar, the Pirate Shellfish team takes
pride in serving Wellfleet's best seafood.
A very special thank you to all our family and
friends for all the help and support. We definitely
couldn't do it with out you.
