Montauk's Duryea's Opens Under New Ownership

MONTAUK, NY - A longtime staple on the Montauk scene launched the 2016 season under new ownership.

Duryea's, located at 65 Tuthill Road in Montauk, an 80-year-old family-owned business, was purchased three years ago by Marc Rowan, one of the co-founders of Apollo Global Management, a New York-based private equity firm.

The new ownership has maintained "the authentic Montauk vibe of the historic fish market and lobster deck, while renovating the dated space and adding much needed updates. Look for comfy banquette seating, classic teak deck furniture and simple dinnerware," a release said.

The menu includes longtime favorite selections, as well as some new additions featuring mostly local seafood.

Some new changes this season: To emphasize the "casual and fun atmosphere" at Duryea’s, the menu is now served family style, most dishes serving two to three people, the release added.

A peek at the menu includes a delicious lobster cobb salad, crab cake, baked cherry stone clams, grilled or steamed lobster, classic clam bake, Duryea’s famous lobster roll, soft shell crab po-boy and seafood towers featuring raw bar items and sushi.

Family style side dishes are also available, such as French fries, jasmine rice, potato wedges and corn on the cob.

A kid’s menu is also offered.

The eatery's wine and beer selection features a red, white and rose option with a private label Belgian White brew from Crooked Ladder Brewing Company in Riverhead.

The fish market features fresh local seafood from lobsters and crabs to fish and shrimp. Several farm to market products are also available for purchase including: Goodale Farm fresh feta and greek yogurt, Fairview Farm homemade jams and preserves and Backyard Brine pickles.

Duryea’s lobster deck and fish market is open 7 days a week in season from 11:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. For further information contact Duryea’s at (631) 668-2410 or visit www.duryealobsters.com.
