Former Antique Deli Turns to Seafood at the Crazy Fork in Mattituck
Mattituck is now home to a place where you can get fish tacos — and a whole lot more in the realm of seafood — for lunch and dinner. The Crazy Fork opened up last Friday in the space occupied for seven years by the Antique Deli, which closed three months ago. Deli owner Danielle Grzegorczyk brought in chef Dave Distenfeld to help transform the place from outdated deli to a casual and affordable family friendly spot for fresh and fried seafood – something that Distenfeld saw as a missing niche in Mattituck.
The Crazy Fork offers traditional appetizers like oysters on the half shell, clams casino, and — yes — fish tacos; salads, soups and fried baskets; and sandwiches in the $9 to $15 dollar range. Entrees include stuffed flounder, seafood and chicken gumbo and a five-spiced rubbed tuna all for under $20.
