seafood stands
Coastal food stalls
Seafood stands are small outdoor vendors or simple structures selling fresh or prepared seafood, typically found near waterfronts, beaches, or fishing areas.
They range from roadside shacks offering fried clams to dockside counters selling oysters on the half shell: We grabbed lobster rolls from a seafood stand by the pier.
The appeal lies in freshness and informality—plastic baskets, paper napkins, eating outdoors.
