They also offer all of the items cooked and you can eat on the picnic tables outside. I was able to grab something quickly as I was headed to the ferry. I had the lobster roll.

Can't wait to try this place for more when I'm back in Summer 2026.

There were two staff members and Stanley Larsen, owner of Menemsha Fish Market, taking orders when our group walked in. Everyone was very friendly. I ordered a cup of the New England Clam Chowder ($6.25), Crab Cake Sandwich ($13.55), a hot stuffed quahog ($5.75), and a coke ($2.00). On the counter, there were samples of the New England Clam Chowder and Lobster Bisque. They were both very good. The New England Clam Chowder was creamy like how I liked it and it had a good amount of potatoes and clams. I really enjoyed the Crab Cake Sandwich and stuffed quahog. The Crab Cake was stuffed and a good size. The quahog was buttery and had a good amount of stuffing. There are a few tables next to the fish market to enjoy your food. Later on, the owner shared his story of catching a great white shark in 1983 while swordfishing and showed us its jaws. If you are in the fishing village of Menemsha or Menemsha public beach, make sure you stop by Menemsha Fish Market. Restrooms are located adjacent to the parking lot in front of Menemsha Fish Market.

The mussels are steamed to perfection and the saltiness and butter just elevates it. And the rolls were filling enough to be perfection. The service...it's a fish market.

Come close to sunset and it's the most amazing experience evaaahhh! So just come and soak in the smell of the sea, the beauty of Menemsha, and the food and closing music at Larsen's Fish Market. Simply delightful!!

On a given day, there will be one or two "real" employees who know what they're doing and the rest clueless students who have no hope of keeping up with the rush--especially not the cashiers and the kids struggling to make lobster rolls. If you pick a slow early afternoon weekday it's still a reliable source of fresh fish and they cook lobsters expertly. Avoid the lobster rolls and partially fake clams.

On this episode of eating my way through Martha's Vineyard, we're visiting a spot that's become a…read moretradition for my wife and me -- one of the first places we stop when we arrive and one of the last places we hit before leaving the island. I stumbled across Edgartown Seafood Market on a whim, not craving anything in particular. I asked the guy behind the counter, "What are you known for?" Without hesitation, he said, "The bluefish spread." Let me tell you -- it hit the spot. Flavorful, fresh, and just salty enough to keep you coming back for more. We paired it with Wheat Thins and chips, and it instantly became a staple for us. Since that first visit, we've added their cole slaw and seaweed salad to our regular order -- both are fresh, crisp, and perfectly balanced. This is one of those places that makes you want to eat and shop like a local. The staff is always friendly and helpful, and you can tell they take pride in what they serve. If you're on the island, this is a must-stop spot. Whether you're picking up seafood to cook or grabbing ready-made bites, they make you feel like you've discovered a Vineyard insider's gem. Verdict: Bluefish spread is the move. Stock up -- you'll regret not getting more.

The fried scallops were fresh! We opened it to eat within minutes but they were already soggy. I think they need to pat dry them out a bit more before frying them. Lightly seasoned. The clams were much better. Whole belly with lots of flavor. The tartar sauce was used for both of them. The sauce was amazing! The clam chowder looked watery upon opening it but it was thicker than expected. Flavorful and full of clams! Stuck my spoon in there and whoa lots of potatoes and clams at the bottom chilling. The crab cake sandwich was great! Good value, fresh, and tasty. Every component of it meshed well. The lobster roll was fresh as well. Hot and buttery. Kinda plain though. Some hot sauce helped.

A friend of mine, who has a severe dairy allergy, clearly and calmly told the woman at the counter "no cheese." Not a preference--an allergy. When the sandwich came out covered in cheese, she politely explained the issue. Instead of correcting it, the staff questioned her repeatedly--asking over a dozen times if she was sure she said no cheese--and threatened to make her pay again if it was her mistake. Eventually, the manager agreed to remake the sandwich. But when it was brought back, the woman slammed it on the table and said, "Here's your sandwich. Don't ever come back, n**r." I was stunned. All we wanted was a meal made safely--something that wouldn't send my friend to the ER--and instead we were met with open hostility and a violent racial slur. This wasn't just poor customer service. It was aggressive, discriminatory, and outright dangerous. No one should be treated this way. I'll never return, and I strongly urge others to consider whether this is the kind of business they want to support.
