Petes Clam Stop

Was there last week. Oysters was not clean. Guy who opened them did not washed them and some sand hits inside because he put them in two layers.
6 oysters =$ 9
12oysters=$ 18
One Large beer=$ 9
Not the best experience. Never be back there.

My second visit in 7 years, friendly staff and oysters are fantastic. We also had the fried clams which were better than any ever had, not greasy, wonderful batter, and generous portion. Very clean, only thing keeping me from giving 5 stars is the washroom which could use a serious overhaul. A great plus is a nice selection of local craft beers.

I’ve been stopping in here when in Coney Island since 1991. Man. I’m getting old.
Still the freshest, most briny and cheapest clams on the half shell in the area. Coupled with an ice cold Stella on tap and you are in Coney Island Heaven.

nice fresh clams. try it! and then go to coney island luna park!!! they are pening this week end

This is no longer Pete’s Clam Stop. It’s under new ownership. The menu now consists of fried calamari, pizza and other unremarkable things. You won’t get seafood here. Nor is this place on the boardwalk.
The clientele? Old barflies who probably drive the pretty waitress crazy with harassment. In all fairness, what you would expect in Coney Island. Let’s face it — a classy destination Coney Island ain’t.
There is one clam dish at the «New Pete’s», baked clams, and I’m sure they’re good, but when we went there, they didn’t have them. That’s right — didn’t have clams. With no other seafood options on the menu, we left and opted for Nathan’s on the boardwalk (note here that the one on Surf and Stillwell is better).
If you are looking to get shit-​faced, however, and party with guys past their primes but full of stories, this is your spot.
It would have been great if the new management had kept the Pete’s menu. I was so looking forward to it when I read the reviews.

Had some tasty, cheap oysters here on a hot Saturday afternoon. We had come looking for fried clams, which they don’t have, so these were the next best thing. We felt a little strange eating raw shellfish from a shack like this one, but all but one of the bivalves tasted perfectly fresh.
These are some of the cheapest oysters in NYC, so I think that we would definitely come back if we were in the neighborhood again.

I was stuffed, but chose to quickly slurp down a half dozen clams rather than force another Nathans’ dog.. . Six clams pulled from under the ice and shucked right in front of you for $ 6.50, includes lemon wedges, choice of tabasco or red-​hot, and you can hit up a bit of some old horseradish from a community bowl. Wooden pitchfork, styrofoam plate. The guy let me get 3 cherrystones and 3 littlenecks. (I can never decide). Awesome experience.
I was almost able to do these guys on the sneak while my girl was getting her candy apples next door.
