Ted's Fried Clams: A Seafood Gem in Shapleigh, ME

I just had my first meal at Ted’s. It was a takeout order. I had a lobster roll and onion rings and it was the best lobster roll I’ve ever had. It was full up of fresh lobster and the onion rings were a huge portion and delicious. I will definitely frequent this restaurant from now on. Very pleased with how quick the service was and how friendly the staff was as well. I’ll be back for more.

I spent 9 days in Maine this past 2 weeks looking for a great place to eat fried clams... passed several by and on my last day in Maine, happend up Ted's Fried Clams. What a serendipity! Folks were friendly, place was spotless, service was almost immediate and I had the best clams and scallops ever! Can't recommend it enough... BTW, my friend and I ordered separately and I am very sure we could have split just one of those meals. I am a big eater and couldn't finish my plate and wish I hadn't tried... but it was so good, I kept eating. Seriously, split a plate if you are eating with someone. I guess if I have one suggestion, the woman that took my order could have looked at me (I may be a big eater but I'm skinny and 5'6") and said "This is a lot of food Dude..." I still have no regrets and will go back if I'm in the neighborhood.

I bought the Wild Blueberry Sundae and a Cake Batter ice cream. Both of these were good. The cake batter was better. Great fast and friendly service. There are plenty of clean picnic tables outside to sit. There are also some tables covered with a permanent canopy. They offer sitting inside too. Reasonable prices for the ice cream.

Had breakfast here for the first time. It was delicious. The servers and host were very friendly. New head chef Melissa came out and greeted us after we complimented her dishes. She is very friendly and upbeat, we can't wait to try her breakfast specials.

A must try. I had the sefood platter and I have to say it's the best that I have ever had any where hands down. A bit of advice though, dont try and eat it yourself as the amount of food they give you will feed at least 3. Clams, haddock, shrimp, and scallops with either fries or onion rings with a side of Cole slaw and roll.

My husband and I have gotten takeout a few times now, and it's been consistently good! Their namesake - fried clams - are some of the tastiest that I've had! They even rival Woodmans in Essex, MA! We've tried their burgers, fried dough and other fried options, all delicious. I like their clam chowder a lot, as well. The broth is nicely seasoned, great amount of clam and potato per spoonful. Overall, we're glad to make them part of our takeout lineup.

Best fried clams around!!! Took some photos of the current 2022 season menu! I couldn't find much online so I figured this would help some people establish pricing!

Rock House ice cream, attached to Ted's, has a really fun atmosphere, with enough people to add to the atmosphere, but not enough to make the wait an issue. The Maine black bear, blueberry pie, and black raspberry flavors were all great.
