Affectionately known as “the Clamman,” Paul Koster began selling local clams from his truck to Hamptons restaurants in the 1970s. He eventually founded The Clamman Seafood Market in Southampton in the early ‘80s, which expanded to a thriving retail and catering business. Known for his outgoing, larger-than-life personality and spirit, he was renowned for throwing the best parties for friends and family, inspiring the launch of his business's catering side. Paul was very involved in local community organizations and in the various youth activities and programs his children participated in and is fondly remembered for the end-of-season dinners he would cook to support local sports teams, where his wife Jean and their children Mackenzie, Roxanne, and Cutter would pitch in and help serve. After losing Paul to a sudden accident in 2000, Jean kept the business alive and built it into what it is today.
