Summer in New Hampshire means lots of beach trips, lake trips and voyages into the mountains. But if you’re like us, the most important thing is digging into the best seafood in New England. There are lots of options, but this little unassuming spots is a favorite. It’s rustic, delicious, and lots of fun!

Located in North Hampton, Al’s is convenient. And with a convenient market you can bring the fun home with you.

Al’s Seafood is the brainchild of Al Courchene who started this spot about 20 years ago. It didn’t take long for them to add an outdoor seating area to the counter takeaway service.

Soon after that an indoor area was added, making this a destination for a full meal.

We love the Half & Half Boat which you can get with any two seafood choices, including these clams and haddock.
