Since 1914, Woodman’s of Essex has been proud to bring our famous fried clams, chowder, lobster rolls, and more directly to your door through our online shop.
While seafood shipping, apparel, books, and gift certificates have offered a way to enjoy a piece of Woodman’s from afar, we have made the heartfelt decision to simplify our online offerings. From now on, our Shop Online page will be devoted solely to Restaurant Gift Cards, the perfect way to share Woodman’s experiences with the people you care about.
Existing online purchases already placed are unaffected. To redeem online shipping gift certificates, email orders@woodmans.com or call us at 978 768 2559
Why This Change?
A Focused Online Experience
With fewer product options, we can ensure a streamlined and user-friendly shop that highlights what matters most: giving the gift of Woodman’s.
Increased Clarity
No more confusion over shipping restrictions, delivery timelines, or product availability. Just seamless gift card purchases for a cherished memory.
Efficient Management
This shift allows us to channel our energies into delivering the hospitality and culinary excellence you expect, both online and in our restaurant.
What’s Staying and What’s No Longer Available
No Longer Available Online
Seafood shipping including fried clam kits, chowder sets, and lobster roll kits, apparel, gifts, books, and shipping gift certificates.
Still Available Online
Restaurant Gift Cards redeemable in person at Woodman’s, ideal for birthdays, anniversaries, or simply as a way to share a special dining experience
What This Means for You
If you loved surprises arriving at your door, rest assured that our in-restaurant experiences remain as vibrant and welcoming as ever. Come enjoy daily specials, family events, clambakes, weddings, and our new food truck and more…
For those who want to share a taste of Woodman’s without the shipping logistics, gift cards are now your simplest option.
Thank You for Your Understanding and Support
As a family business since 1914, founded by Lawrence “Chubby” Woodman, the inventor of the fried clam, Woodman’s of Essex has always been about tradition, quality, and service. This change reflects our commitment to those values while offering a modern and thoughtful approach.
If you would like help purchasing a gift card, have questions about dining or events, or just want to say hello, please contact us or stop by. We look forward to serving you in person soon.
Warmly and thankfully,
The Woodman Family
