This is a small unassuming place with vivid storefront windows that invite you in. We were cheerfully welcomed and our order was taken quickly and easily. We decided to eat in and our order was brought to us in just a short time. We both ordered the lobster rolls and shared curly fries. The buns were perfectly toasted and stuffed with lobster. Everything we had was very tasty and fresh. The curly fries were plenty for the two of us. We can't wait to go back and try their other offerings. read more

I went for the lobster to go. It was delicious. The staff are friendly when I called to ask allergy related questions they were very polite. They were very polite when my husband went inside to pick up the lobster bisque. We went twice for lobster bisque. We will be back for more. read more

If I had a dollar for every time I said "wow" during my meal, it would've been free! Hands down the best fish sandwich I've ever had...and I've lived in a fishing town before!! read more

We have been loyal customers for many years. Nobody in the valley has the quality of seafood that Deepwater offers. The large cooked shrimp is a favorite at every holiday. We ordered a tuna platter for guests that was outstanding. The tuna was so fresh and seasoned to perfection. The fresh salmon and sea bass is always fresh and of the best quality. Lee and David are very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. This is a small business that deserves to be supported. read more

Deepwater Seafood Market in Avon, Ct has delicious seafood, but the Lobster Roll is absolutely mouth watering delicious. When you bite into this magnificent crunchy Italian bread, your tastebuds jump with joy. The bread is a warm lightly buttered vessel for chunks of fresh sweet tender lobster meat. It is by far the BEST LOBSTER ROLL IVE EVER HAD!!!! Located on Rte 44, (Albany Ave) in Avon, Ct. The market is family owned and operated. Ask for David, he's the son, talk with anyone in this establishment. You will be met with kindness and a ton of knowledge. They also sell the Italian bread. If you're like me you've looked high n low for great Italian bread. You'll find it at Deepwater Seafood for $2.50/loaf. Spend the reasonably priced $26 for this succulent lobster roll!!! I promise you will not be disappointed!!!! read more

We stopped her for a quick lunch. The place is small, and food was good and came out quick. I would have gave the place a better rating however I received a fraud alert on my card after using it here. Someone tried to make several purchases using number from my card in CT. I don't live in CT we were just passing through and stopped for lunch. This was the only place I used my card in CT. Be aware if you are using your card. read more

Great lobster rolls and fish tacos! Small searing inside but very comfy, and staff are friendly and very nice/ helpful.

Excellent place to pick up fresh seafood if you want to make it yourself, pick up lunch/dinner, heat something up later, and even dine in! Great selection of fresh fish, giant scallops, an array of cooked shrimp cocktail shrimp with different seasonings! Ive been here many times but I came here one day because I was experimenting with making sushi and after getting some advice from the employees I walked out with a good selection! read more

An absolute disappointment! The owners disposition is atrocious. Went in today, Christmas Eve, to purchase a piece of fish, and she could not have been more rude. Apparently, this is the norm for her, which, in my humble opinion, especially as a fellow small business owner, is surprising. Knowing it would be busy on the holiday I knew to be patient & EXTRA polite,, but she was extremely rude, actively was discouraging me from purchasing anything from her because I had not placed an order beforehand. When asked if walk-ins were not welcome all I got was an evil glare. she sternly informed me that the people behind me in line HAD all placed orders, however the 2 guys behind me LOL & said they were walk ins also (I said Watch out!) Did she not expect any walk-ins on Christmas? So! I asked if they had any salmon and she really did not want to sell me any. She said she didn't know if they had any left & just looked at me. I kindly asked if she could please find out & only then did she begrudgingly go to another member of the staff to ask. He cheerily said "Yes, of course we do." She returned to me and barked "Which one do you want?" I had to ask, which ones she had, After I chose, she rather aggressively told me I needed to move out of the way and wait in the corner since I didn't pre- order. Thankfully, the guy she had asked, stepped in and very kindly assisted me. he even went so far as to tell me she knew they had multiple extra fish for walk-ins as he told her he purchased them the day before. , I would think, even when super stressed out and busy, you would not actively discourage someone from purchasing something from your store. Next time I will go down the road to City Fish where they appreciate my business.. owner needs an attitude adjustment read more

Expensive. Sure, the seafood is fresh, but IMO, the high prices are more based on "the area" rather than freshness. Scallops were over $32 a pound. Fried Fish was $16.59 (before tax) for two small pieces. I'm not Wow'd by Deepwater Seafood like other reviewers have been. It's OK, if you have a hankering for seafood and don't want to make the hike down to the CT shoreline. There are really not any other options up here in Northern Connecticut at this time, I wish Simply Seafood in Torrington would open back up again. read more

Not good value for the price. Lobster was good but that bread was too hard. The bread almost cut my gums. They need to find a different brand. read more

We are visiting from South Florida, where we not only eat a lot but we also fish offshore on a regular basis for our own meals. So you can imagine our standards when it comes to choosing seafood out of town. Firstly, we met a friendly local outside, which seems slightly uncommon here, truth be told. That was a relief. He told us it's his favorite place and gave recommendations for a scallop roll. Note, The scallop roll was fire! Dually, Highly recommended! When we came in the team took amazing care of me and my family. We had some gigantic shrimp and fish tacos and it was really fresh and satisfying. The portions were great and the green guac sauce on top was the perfect touch. If we lived here, this would be a regular favorite moving forward. Best dining experience during our trip to Avon/Hartford area. Thanks to this awesome place for our lunch today!!! We will see you again next summer!!! read more

Best shrimp ever!!! Seriously. The shrimp cocktail platter is just amazing and everyone loves it.

My wife and I were in the mood again for fresh clams. Deep Water Seafood in Avon is still the best in this state. We always happy and satisfied. Today I had the whole bellies platter and my wife had the strips. Outstanding. read more

i stop in to get their seafood salad and precooked seafood to go always seasoned well and reasonably priced for the portion read more

Real deal. Excellent, fresh seafood. Love their lobster rolls - both warm or more traditional cold. Sunlike. Great location.

Wholesale seafood distributor that also has an extensive menu of hot options prepared on the spot. I tried a hot lobster roll and it was phenomenal. One of my favorites I've had A little seating inside and a little seating outside, but nothing special 9 read more

Not fresh seafood!!! Horrible New England Clam Chowder, clams in chowder were gritty, yuck, I even told the counter guy that it was bad and, he didn't even apologize. We've had better and fresher tasting lobster rolls in Dallas, TX food trucks. Fried clam strips were just awful. Fried shrimp was frozen beer battered and gross. The two best things there was the tarter sauce and bottled water. read more

I went into this seafood store just to check out what they had and ended up buying lunch to go. I asked for a recommendation on what was good for the day and went with the suggestion of a swordfish reuben with slaw (which was in the sandwich). Isn't a reuben sandwich on rye? This was a grilled sandwich, but I don't believe it's rye bread. The fish was cooked well, and the slaw was fine. Overall, the sandwich was fine, but it wasn't my favorite thing, so I wouldn't order this myself again, but I'd be willing to try other things. read more

I'm not sure how to explain how good Deep Water Seafood is. We were wanting to try for a while and finally decided to - now we've been back twice! We got raw oysters and clams as an appetizer and they were great. The right amount of brine. The cocktail sauce has just the right amount of horseradish to add a kick without being too much. Then there's the lobster roll. I don't know if I'd call it a roll... because they take what seems like a baguette, slice it large, cut a pocket in it and stuff it with lobster. It's so good! They grill the bread too. We can't say enough about how good it is beyond that it's enough for two of us plus the fries. Overall if you haven't been, I suggest making a stop. It's totally worth it! They also have pre-made foods you can take, heat, and eat later too. Their staff is great and very friendly! read more

We ordered the paella for four for my birthday. It was glorious-sumptuous- delicious and full of great seafood, shrimp, calamari, mussels, scallops savory with chorizo. I was apprehensive about finishing the heating at home but instructions were perfect and the paella was moist but not wet. The paella was a good as in Spain. Leigh was great . Highly recommend read more

Ordered lunch recently, the person that took my order was nice. My order consisted of New England clam chowder, fishwich and fries. I had to order the fries separately, it's not a combo no biggie though. The clam chowder tasted great it actually had clams and the chowder was thick not watery. The fishwich was a bit of a disappointment though. The fish tasted great but the bread that they use doesn't go with it. I wish they would have use brioche or potato bread instead. A regular sandwich bread just doesn't go well with the fish. Also, they give you a ton of fries they were crispy unfortunately they were on the salty side. I was not able to eat them at all. I'm not going to write them off since I like to give places another try and they have great chowder. read more

Stumbled upon this gem during a heavy downpour of freezing New England rain. These are some of the kindest people I've met and the food is unbelievably good (and obviously made with love). Highly recommend. read more

I was turned into Deepwater yesterday when a swordfishLT was delivered to me. Back today for the Rhode Island Chowder. Every bite a complete delight. If I lived nearby I'd be here 3 times a week. So incredibly good! read more

Seafood selection is good. Awesome lobster roll. I've had it hot & buttered and scampi style. Both great. All the guys working are friendly and informative. I definitely recommend stopping by. read more

We ordered the hot and cold lobster roll and they were both fantastic. Seasoning on the cold one was just right and did not over power the perfectly cooked lobster. Will definitely be back for more! read more

Absolutely one of the best lobster roll I ever had!! Great customer service!! I will definitely go back when I'm in Connecticut!!

Thank god for Deep Water Seafood because it is always there when I have an intense seafood craving!! Not only do they have plenty of fish and refrigerated soups and meals, but you can also order a fresh hot meal as well! I have had lobster all over the east coast and I must say this ranks among my favorites! The lobster roll is definitely my favorite and comes on delicious grilled bread and lots of butter. The fries are amazing as well so definitely get those on the side! Other choices include oyster po boy, clam strips, fish sandwiches, etc. The staff are always super friendly and takeout is super quick which is always appreciated! Definitely a must stop if you are craving a place to get good seafood! read more

Descent selection, quite pricy. Not much else to say. I understand that fresh seafood is not cheap but this place takes it to a new level, not for my budget. I'm ok with that. read more

We usually go to the shore for good, fresh seafood. Deep Water Seafood was recommended to me by a friend. Needless to say, we are not going to the shore for fresh seafood anymore!!! Everything was so fresh and delicious and was served to us right from the fryer, so hot we had to wait a little to eat it!!! The fries were crispy and tasty. The fish tasted like it was right off the boat. Seating is limited inside but there is also seating outside. I would suggest going on an off hour to avoid the crowd! Even though they were super busy we got served quickly. Everyone is so nice and they make you feel at home. Looking forward to lunch again to try something else on the menu! There is also a wall of refrigerated food to take home for later. Three different chowders and a variety of seafood dishes. There is also a case of fresh fish if you prefer to cook it at home. Looking for a fresh seafood place....... this is it!! Bon Appetit. read more

Take equal parts fish monger, restaurant, and prepared dishes for takeout, combine with fresh cocktail sauce, add a dash of clam juice, and voila ! Welcome to Deepwater Lobster Company. This place has it all -a large refrigerated case with all sorts of fresh fish (how about 3 types of salmon, several big refrigerators with prepared foods like seafood dips, and soups, and bisques, and entrees, and a freezer with more goodies. But wait, there's more! Its also a restaurant with tables inside and out. You'll pay for the freshness and for the convenience, but if you're OK with that, you won't be disappointed. We bought a nice slab of salmon to make into gravlax, and it looks excellent!! read more

Love the food, service, ambience and crew at this homey seafood place/market in Avon. Whenever I stop in, I automatically get a cup of Rhody clam chowder. I always a different entree than I hqvw already had. All Great! TODAY I HAD A CRAB CAKE ON L AND T with fries and organic iced tea (cooler)! Umm umm. Go there people read more

Good customer service! I truly enjoy their shrimp poboy! Very very flavorful and their food is ALWAYS fresh.

What a great little seafood shop I stumbled upon while traveling through the area! I stopped in for lunch and ordered a lobster roll with fries. Service was fast and friendly! There was plenty of lobster and the fries were great. The seafood in the case looked fresh and there was a steady stream of people coming in. I grabbed some chowder and smoked fish spread to go. Tried them the next day and both were excellent. I also saw a bunch of prepared to go meals that looked really good. Will definitely return next time I'm in the area! read more

I am so excited to have found a great seafood restaurant right in my own town!! Whenever I go out to areas restaurants known for seafood (block island, cape cod, etc.), I ALWAYS order whole belly clams because I can never get it otherwise! Imagine my excitement to have found THIS gem, just 10 minutes from me! I haven't quite decided if this is more of a great thing or a dangerous thing. I came here to take my parents out for lunch today. We ordered the fried oyster dinner ($16.95) and the fried whole belly clam dinner ($24.95). Each came with fries, coleslaw, and tartar sauce. The seafood was so fresh and had been properly taken care of- there's nothing worse than a whole belly clam that is sandy... This was not at all the case here! The fries were also perfectly cooked. The two dinners were perfect portion for three of us. Seeing as my parents are (not formally trained) gourmet chefs, they are REALLY hard to please. Not a single complaint from them! They were just talking about how fresh, delicious, and crispy everything was. That is a high compliment coming from them-in fact, I think it may be the only restaurant my parents like in CT! read more
