Dock & Claw Clam Bar

Seafood$-$$

There’s such a quirky DIY vibe to this intimate old BYOB with a horseshoe bar that rings a basin brimming with ice and shellfish. Briny middlenecks and local oysters harvested from the Delaware Bay anchor the platter, their mignonette perked with a sweet-tart raspberry syrup and a side of house-branded hot sauce made with habaneros and thyme. A fondness of Mexican ingredients is key to another of Dock & Claw’s best apps, the crispy tostadas with chorizo, as well as its best-selling codfish tacos topped with mango-peach salsa.
