ABOUT US

In 2000, commercial fishermen Diane Flynn and Skip Barlow retired. Six months later, they decided retirement did not suit them and they opened Barlow’s Clam Shack. The former commercial fishermen were on a mission to combine their knowledge and skills to serve old-fashioned Cape Cod clam shack-style food. They worked to create fresh, delicious recipes that stayed true to the local tastes and favorites.

The Barlow family has been cooking on Cape Cod since 1668 when Grammaw Jane Besse-Barlow was convicted of cooking and selling her fine liquor to the Native Americans.

Having lived on Cape Cod since then, we have been a family of seafarers. Seafood is our family tradition. Whether you eat in, take-out, or eat in the picnic area, we hope you love your meal and it becomes one of your family traditions.
