Item(s) ordered: Fish tacos (haddock) and tostones (and a Coke Zero)…read moreThe review: Two stars for two things--cute presentation and crispy tostones. They barely had any of the seafood advertised, and even when deciding what to order, they referred me to a menu that they actually could not offer. On the brink of hangriness, I ordered the fish tacos with haddock because there were no other options, and there was barely any fish in the tacos. I wish they had been honest that they did not have what I was looking for. MOST memorable was when the waiter profiled me and decided to go on a fanatical rant for about fifteen minutes, as to why I should read the New Testament and accept Christ. The owner witnessed this interaction and my obvious immense discomfort, and didn't do a thing. Oh, and the tostones said they came with an aioli/sauce and they gave me ketchup. Honestly upset that I paid for any of this.

A solid 3-star review. They need to get their fryer…read moretemperatures under control. The lobster roll was generously portioned but ultimately fell just a bit short of greatness. I really appreciated the amount of fresh meat packed into the toasted brioche bun. However, the seasoning was a little too heavy on the mayonnaise, which masked the natural sweetness of the lobster. The side of French fries arrived piping hot and perfectly crispy. It is a decent option if you are craving seafood, though it needs minor tweaks. Overall, it was a perfectly average meal that left me satisfied but not entirely blown away. The Fried Clams which were a mixed of textures. Some of the clams were beautifully sweet and tender, while others were noticeably overcooked and chewy. The batter had a great crunch, but it lacked the necessary seasoning to make the dish pop. I also ordered a side of onion rings that were greasy, though they still had a decent flavor. The staff was incredibly friendly and the atmosphere was wonderful for a casual dinner. I might return eventually, but I am not in a rush. The shrimp looked fantastic when it arrived at our table with a beautiful golden-brown exterior. Unfortunately, the shrimp themselves were a bit rubbery and lacked that fresh, snappy bite you expect at a seafood joint. The French fries were standard, nothing spectacular, but they served their purpose as a side. It was a perfectly mediocre dining experience that did not justify the slightly high price tag. Despite the okay service, I will probably look for a different spot next time. If you want a cushy 11-to -7 this isn't it. This gig is seasonal, which means you have a small window to make your money and bust your tail.

The interior is very small so if you are a group, I recommend sending a designated person to order. We went standard Lobster Rolls with butter on the side. There was a little confusion about line order but they were very apologetic. There are very limited chairs in the lot to eat at and I think maybe 1 picnic table? We decided to bring it home to eat. The result was a slightly less than warm roll, but the FLAVAH! Delicious and the chips were good too. Anything Lobster is a bit of a splurge but very worth it!

Hey hey, we have a new fish market and restaurant in town!…read more While we've been buying fish from these fine people at their farmers market popups for several years now, it is great to see their new storefront and restaurant. The inside (and ourdoor patio) look great, is neat and filled with plenty of helpful staff. We visited on the Saturday after they opened and found lots of great fish options. They even had fresh Red Drum that they brought in from North Carolina. In addition to the fresh fish and oysters, they also have a nice selection of cryo packed frozen fish that is a bit more eclectic. For example, they offered Black Cod from Alaska, a real delicacy and hard to find in other markets. In addition to the fish market, they have a small restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating. The menu is a bit limited, but I expect it will expand over time. We tried the fish tacos which were crisp, delicious and hot. Perhaps not the biggest portion, but they were only $6 a taco. We've always gotten fresh fish from these folks, and are delighted that we have yet another great option to buy fresh local and some unusual fish, as well as have a quick casual bite. Check them out!

The woman behind the counter was super friendly, and even offered my friend and I samples of their various salads. They had a great selection of meals in their freezer. And the prices were terrific. I ended up getting a nice amount of haddock for less than seven dollars. They had a huge vat of clam chowder (and another soup, but I was craving chowder and didn't even look at that one!). I had the chowder when I got home and it was so good. The price is a little high, but it was worth it. I saw several frozen items (I assume made at their restaurant) that I want to try so I will definitely be stopping in again.
