The Black Whale was created by New Bedford locals to honor the seafaring heritage of New Bedford and the world-famous seafood bounty landed in its port. Steve Silverstein, The Black Whale owner, comes from a family that is as New Bedford as it gets. In 1900, Silverstein's, The Family Store, opened selling basic dry goods from a pushcart in the South End of New Bedford.
Steve was the fourth generation to operate Silverstein's, which prospered until 1998. Steve grew up in New Bedford, working as a scalloper in the summers developing a deep love of New Bedford's seafaring history, especially the fishing industry. The Black Whale is designed to be an innovative seafood kitchen with a great bar.

Stop by our Whale's Tail Clam Bar, open Thursday - Sunday 11:30 AM - 8 PM. Located right across the pier from The Black Whale. Whale's Tail is an old school "clam bar": a "shack" serving fresh, locally caught seafood in a casual, beachy environment. It's a place that is fun and cool, where locals can gather and get a taste of the fishing industry.
