Duryea's in Montauk has opened under new ownership. The 80 year-old family-owned business was purchased three years ago by Marc Rowan. The new ownership has maintained the authentic Montauk vibe of the historic fish market and lobster deck, while renovating the space and adding updates. Look for comfy banquette seating, classic teak deck furniture and simple dinnerware. The popular menu includes all of the favorite items as well as some new additions featuring mostly local seafood. To emphasize the casual and fun atmosphere at Duryea's, the menu is now served family style, most dishes serving two to three people.

Sample menu items include: lobster cobb salad, crab cake, baked cherry stone clams, grilled or steamed lobster, classic clam bake, Duryea's famous lobster roll, soft shell crab po-boy and seafood towers featuring raw bar items and sushi.

As well, family style side dishes are available such as French fries, jasmine rice, potato wedges and corn on the cob. A kid's menu offers simple kid friendly options such as chicken fingers, beef sliders and grilled cheese. A wine and beer selection features a red, white and rosé option with a private label Belgian White brew from Crooked Ladder Brewing Company in Riverhead. The fish market features fresh local seafood from lobsters and crabs to fish and shrimp. Several farm to market products are also available for purchase including: Goodale Farm fresh feta and Greek yogurt, Fairview Farm homemade jams and preserves and Backyard Brine pickles.
