Every time we are in Freeport, we get or lobster from Cantrell's. The seafood is always fresh and delicious. The family service is top notch. read more

Very disappointed. I reserved three lobsters three days before Father's Day and provided my name, phone number, and pickup time. I was assured the reservation was noted and my lobsters would be held. When I arrived, I was told they had sold out and my reserved lobsters were not available. The young man behind the counter was surprisingly flippant and showed little concern for the inconvenience caused. Because my reservation was not honored, I had to drive an additional hour and spend about $40 more to purchase comparable lobsters from another vendor. Mistakes happen, especially on busy holidays, but I expected an apology and some effort to make things right. Unfortunately, neither was offered. read more

placed an order in person followed up by an email and two phone calls including day of. Went to pick up our order for steamed lobsters for our family July 4th celebration. When I arrived to pick up the order they did not have it and said they could not steam them. So much for trying to support a local business. We won't be back. read more

This is my first experience here after hearing lots of good reviews of this place. I purchased lobster which was sweet and delicious and at a very competitive price. I also got some steamers which needed a bit more purging than other places I frequent but were still fantastic. The young lady who waited on us was adequate, but seemed to care less that we were there. Basically, an excellent product at a good price. The service could use a little attention though. read more

Cantrell Seafood - a sign on the side of a building - Seafood Markets Near Me - Topsham, Maine

See all

Standard fare, sell what they have and it is fresh. Got, salmon and lobster. Reliable and good.

This review is for the store in Topsham. I have not used delivery or bought from their trucks. Always fresh, good prices, nice variety, and the staff has always been friendly and helpful. Sort of surprised by the negative reviews. I have always had good experiences at Cantrell and stopped buying seafood anywhere else. read more

We've bought fish here a couple of times and it was good quality. They sold my wife two pieces of salmon today that I would say is not safe for anyone to eat and I'm not even comfortable cooking it for my dog. I was a chef for almost two decades in Portland and I know fish. This was either reckless because they aren't keeping track of what they have in the case or greedy because they will sell anything instead of eating the cost that comes with selling seafood. read more

Ordered two years in a row for a birthday bash and both times the lobsters never made it. After filing a complaint...the owner is now harassing my family. Order ANYWHERE ELSE. This guy is a nightmare. Not only will they mess up your order and ruin your event...when you have an issue with that you get harassed. read more

I've gotten seafood at Cantrell's in Topsham a few times now. I've never had a bad experience. On Saturday I shopped around for lobsters and Cantrell's had the best price at $7.99/lb so I stopped in and got a half dozen chicks, while there I saw that they had fresh haddock at $9.99/lb, so I asked the nice girl for a fillet. She was very attentive. I liked that she drained the lobsters before putting them on the scale and then she picked out a nice thick fillet of haddock for me. I brought everything home and the lobsters were fresh and full of that sweet soft shell goodness. I broiled the haddock the next night and it came out fantastic, just a great fresh slice of heaven. I am very grateful for Cantrell's. When the young man has waited on me in the past he was attentive and knowledgeable and the young women was the same, very nice and helpful. I do live in the area so I see activity around the seafood market and the fishermen always seem pleasant dropping off their catch, the service is great and the selection is pretty good as well. The prices are decent but certain things can fluctuate, like the crabmeat is at $19.99 where you might find it for a buck or two less if you shop around, but where I've seen lobster meat at $65/lb, Cantrells has it around $55/lb so as a general rule the prices are quite competitive and you can't beat the freshness of the seafood. I will say that I have never been disappointed by anything that I have purchased at Cantrell Seafood and they are my first place to check out. Good service, friendly people and fresh seafood at good prices. read more

Really good selection for lobster. It is a little hidden to get there but such a good drive. Sweet lobster meat on a cold rainy day was a great choice. It is a little smaller for a market but it has all the stuff you'll need for a nice dinner. read more

Cantrell Seafood - a man and woman holding a bag of food - Seafood Markets Near Me - Topsham, Maine

Unfortunately. I cant give the actual store any rating, they don't even deserve one star. The trucks are awesome, but unfortunately are not in my area anymore so we went to the physical store on Saturday. Going by what they're weekly add said they had on sale I had a few things I wanted and guess what none of them were available. The staff was horrible, I mean really, really bad. Absolutely no customer service, they don't help you and wont even really communicate with you. Before you think I am one of those people who bitch about anything know this...this is the very first time (I'm 62) in my life I have ever written a bad review about anything. I have never experienced such horrible service, ever, anywhere in my life. So I wasted an hour round trip to go there and not get one thing that was supposedly in stock and be treated like that. Again, I LOVE their trucks, the store is horrible. read more

Just down the road from Hannaford is this little gem of a fish market. Why get fish from some far off country we are unsure of when you can get local fishys! Great prices, friendly staff, and lots of local jams, pickles, and sometimes even bread. read more

Awesome seafood selection. I love that I can grab items even when I'm not at the Topsham location by going to one of the food trucks.

I sent two email to Cantrellseafood.com website requesting information on placing an online order to be shipped. I never received a response. There won't be a third time. My advice? Go someplace else. read more

Great price on quality lobsters, packed for travel. Well stocked with other seafood as well. This will be my go-to place once whenever I'm in the area. Watch out for a neighborhood cat loitering by the door who acts like he belongs there; don't fall for his lies by letting him inside. read more

Best seafood prices! Awesome customer service! What are waiting for?Stop by Cantrell's today. You won't be disappointed and might even see Rosie the tiger cat! read more

I've been traveling from Gardiner to Phippsburg to buy clams for quite some time but a couple of months back I decided to give Cantrell Seafood a shot. I just polished off a 3 pound batch and they were some of the best I've ever had....sweet and no grit...and they were only $1.99 lb. Part of me says "Don't post this you knucklehead, now everyone will go there and drive the price up". On the other hand, if the product is great they should be rewarded. read more

Growing up in Maine I have purchased seafood from trucks and fish markets all over the state. While I can find better prices (sometimes), or more selection (sometimes), this business is conveniently located, their products are fresh, and the service is excellent. Whenever my wife and I want good fresh seafood this is where I go. read more

My family has been purchasing hard shell lobsters for pick up at the Oxford Maine location for many, many years. We call the office number to place an order, a few days prior. There have been quite a few instances where the driver did not have our order, blaming it on the office not "putting it on the board". We arrive at the truck first thing so that if this happens, we can be first served and hopefully get the hard shell lobsters we wanted. This happened again this weekend however, even at the start of the day, there were no hard shell lobsters to be had. After verifying with the office that the order was "on the board", the office apologized and offered to give a couple extra soft shell lobsters to compensate. However, when I approached the driver he was verbally abusive (swearing at me)! He denied my order being taken and very begrudgingly gave the extra lobsters. After that treatment I will NOT be using Cantrell Seafood again. read more

Love the haddock and steamers! Great prices too. They also have lobster and a variety of fish. We shop here often and have always been satisfied. Hope they prepare some more lobster stew soon- it was awesome! read more

Great place for FRESH local seafood. Have been going there for 4 years and my local relatives ALWAYS buy from them.
