A.N.S. Seafood Market of Mahopac

ANS Seafood Market in Mahopac is one of those delightful local gems that perfectly embodies the phrase “hidden in plain sight.” Nestled right on Route 6, this family-run operation has been serving the Hudson Valley community with the freshest, highest-quality seafood since 1996 – that’s nearly three decades of perfecting the art of bringing ocean-fresh goodness to landlocked New York! What makes this place truly special is its dual personality: it’s both a bustling retail seafood market where you can pick out your own treasures from the sea, and a cozy restaurant where you can sit down and let the experts work their culinary magic.
The real star of the show here might just be their legendary stuffed clams – one recent reviewer gushed that they serve “by far the best baked stuff clams known to mankind” and called the place “this area’s best kept secret.” The staff has earned rave reviews for being amazing, and the place itself is described as impeccable, which is exactly what you want when you’re dealing with fresh seafood. With locations in both Elmsford and Mahopac, they provide a wide variety of fresh seafood daily for purchase in their retail markets, while the Mahopac location offers the bonus option to dine-in or take out from their classic seafood menu.
What really sets ANS apart is that authentic, no-nonsense approach to seafood that you’d expect from a place that’s been in the game for over 35 years. They’re the kind of establishment where regulars know exactly what day the best catches come in, and newcomers quickly become converts after one bite of their expertly prepared dishes. Whether you’re a seasoned seafood connoisseur looking to cook at home or someone who just wants a fantastic meal without the fuss, ANS Seafood Market delivers that perfect combination of quality, expertise, and old-school hospitality that makes dining out feel like a special occasion.
