You could catch your dinner on one of the fishing boats that sail off the pier in Sheepshead Bay, or you could take a shortcut across the street at Randazzo's. Since 1920, this unpretentious clam bar has been dishing up fresh seafood raw, fried or cooked under its famous spicy tomato sauce. The giant plate of lobster pasta -- chunks of pinky-white sweet meat, royal-red sauce and slithering noodles -- can feed two people for less than $20. Beloved by locals, Randazzo's even has a to-go window facing busy Emmons Ave. Order a half-dozen raw clams or oysters -- plucked from the avalanche of shaved ice and pried open before your eyes -- and eat them on the canal's pedestrian bridge. Hearty chowders and fried calamari pile on the flavor, while the old-school Brooklyn-ese waitstaff piles on the other kind of flavor. Are you still in NYC? Yes. Are you still in the 21st century? No way.

    This place is simply an addiction that there is no cure for!! The freshest seafood anywhere period. I strongly recommend the fried calamari and also the linguini with calamari sauce. Their new england clam chowder would rival anyone. Make it a point to go down to the bay and try it, I am sure you will not be disappointed!!!!!!

  • BEST IN BROOKLYN

    After going there most of my life it's the best. I moved to Long Island there is nothing like it here. I hadn't been there in a while and now I go back at least twice a month. I love it and can't get enough.

    I have been going to Randazzos since I was a little girl with my family. I am now 52 and still enjoy the freshest seafood in the whole world there.
    Sheepshead Bay has changed so much over the years but Randazzos still remains. It's small but a giant! 5 Stars to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EVERYTHING IS SO FRESH AND DELICIOUS! THE CALAMARI AND HOT SAUCE IS ADDICTIVE! AS A MATTER OF FACT YOU CAN SMELL IT ON THE BELT PARKWAY!! WHEN I DO I GET RIGHT OFF DOUBLE PARK OUTSIDE AND TAKE IT TO GO. ITS QUICK AND FRESH 5*STARS!!!
