Wellfleet is known for its abundance of fish and shellfish, including the famous Wellfleet Oyster. At low tides in Wellfleet, quahogs, soft shell clams, and oysters are harvested along the beaches. Seasonal recreational shellfishing permits, valid from June through September, cost $40 for non-residents and can be obtained from the Shellfish Department at the Town Pier (508-349-0300). During the summer, recreational shellfishing is only permitted at Indian Neck on Wednesdays and Sundays. Striped Bass are plentiful in Cape Cod Bay in the spring and early summer and off the backside beaches where in the fall you can catch a 50lb+ striper.
