I'm the only one in the family who likes seafood, so we haven't been there for a meal, but one evening when the family was out, I decided to pick up a to-go order at Reelfish. I enjoy fried clams and called in an order. I picked it up and brought it home. I live close, so it was still plenty hot, but I was startled to find what looked like a huge order of French fries into which had fallen a few fried clams. The clams were exactly to my liking: firm and tasty surrounded by crispy breading, but I wanted to have more of them to like. I don't eat much fried food; I would be happy to never eat another French fry in my life, so when I discovered I had paid $15 for what was essentially an extra large order of fries, I was disappointed. I would have been content, I suppose, to have been served twice as many clams, which still wouldn't have been much, and no fries, or pay even more for a less meager serving of clams. The staff is attentive, food comes up quickly, the seating atmosphere seems appealing, but if you're about the clams, skip this meal; if you about French fries, go to any fast food chain.
