South Edison

Just a wee bit east of the Hamptons proper, this casual spot belies the seriousness of its food. Embodying Montauk’s carefree, come-as-you-are spirit, chef Todd Mitgang plates colorful dishes chock-full of seafood, such as fried rock shrimp with garlic aioli and pan-seared sea scallops with green-pepper romesco and earthy fiddlehead fern. Fresh off the beach? Belly up to the shore-facing raw bar for briny oysters, sweet clams and shrimp cocktail.
