Spectacular! Whole belly fried clams are difficult to find in southwest Florida. Most places want to offer clam strips that are little slivers of clam with a heavy batter coating, then fried crisp. Mainely Seafood knows clams and how to make them. The full belly Ipswich bivalves have a very light coating and fried quickly to keep them tender. The flavor is clamolishious! They can be ordered either as a meal for $24 or $22 for the 'APP'. Both have a 1/2 pound of clams. My wife ordered the meal which includes cole slaw and french fries. The 'APP' is just clams. I selected the Grouper Fingers Meal ($16) which came with 3 very nice thick filets of grouper fried with the absolute thinnest batter ever that let the fish taste come through. Wow, they were great. And their fries! I'm sure these are made using the double fry method as they were crispy on the outside, pillowy soft inside, served piping hot right out of the fryer seasoned just right. Clearly the cole slaw was just as good as we left nothing in our baskets when we were done. We did bring home a slice of Key Lime Pie ($4.00) and found it to not have that good lime kick. It was more of a cheesecake with a thick buttery crust. Good, but not great. Fountain soft drinks run $2.50, bottled beer runs $3.25 to $4.50. No beers on tap. It's a small place located in a strip mall in a quiet area and is very reminiscent of little seafood shops we've visited in New England. Right at 6:00 on a Wednesday evening most of the tables were full and take out business seemed pretty brisk. A big shout out to Jenna our server. She steered us right on our first visit there and we're looking forward to her smile and pleasantness on our return visits.

Perfectly cooked huge piece (8 oz) of cod with the thinnest dusting of batter. Friendly waitress. Quiet location. It's hard to see from the road as there is no large sign. But it is on the south end of the plaza. Well worth the trip. We will be back soon.

Stopped in for a late lunch. Fish was amazing! Very fresh and although fried had a very light breading. Zucchini fries were the bomb. Had a quinoa and veggie side dish which was awesome also. Service was quick and friendly. Place was very clean.

Great food. The breaded scallops are great. The shrimp was delicious (both breaded and garlic butter). Fish and chips was a favorite in our group. The zucchini fries are slightly sweet, very good.The only thing not up to par was the calamari.Everything else, including the service and the prices are very good.

Great New England Seafood Meeting friends in Punta Gorda. Found this seafood place. What a great surprise! The whole belly clams rivaled Kelly's in Revere! Everything was delicious and the service was great! They have chairs or booths. Their prices are reasonable and portions are good! Can't wait to go back! Wish they would expand to Tampa bay area!
