Shellfish beds in Falmouth are monitored by the Town Shellfish Department. Shellfish permits are available at the Collector's window at Falmouth Town Hall, and may be obtained from 8 am to 4:30 pm, Monday through Friday.

If you're new shellfishing or simply need to replace some worn-out equipment, Eastman's stocks a full line of clamming and lobstering gear. We have a variety of quahog and steamer rakes; galvanized baskets in 10-qt, half-bushell and bushell sizes; Styrofoam float rings for the 10-qt basket; clamming and lobster gauges; and a large selection of neoprene and rubber waders and gloves. In addition, we have fully-rigged lobster traps; all you need get is your recreational lobster license from the state.
