Swan Oyster Depot, open since 1912, is a famous seafood institution serving fresh oysters, clams, crabs, and much more. Locals and Tourists line up on the street to get their seafood dishes in a festive atmosphere. A hole in the wall, it only has 18 bar seats, was popular even before Anthony Bourdain’s visit.
Cash only! There is an ATM across the street.
- Customers visit this place to taste the incredibly fresh seafood and don’t mind waiting for an hour or two.
- This place hasn’t changed much since its opening in 1912. The old posters, sports memorabilia, and a hand-painted menu awaits customers with nostalgic vibes.
- All the menu items are delicious and flavorful, including Crab back, smoked salmon, Sashimi, and Boston Clam Chowder, but Cracked Crab and Oysters take the popularity crown. Seafood salads are incredibly popular as well.
