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.
