Our first time this year. The haddock and scallops I ordered could not have been fresher or more perfectly cooked--moist, flaky and tender. Service is always great. read more

Off the beaten path and we loved it! Having come to this area for years, we have our favorite stops. We try to visit them all, but this trip was different. One of our favorite stops had closed due to seasonal hours, so we decided to hit some other locals places. We were thrilled when we found the Fisherman's Catch last year and decided to go back again this year. We were seated right away and served not too long after. The staff is friendly and attentive. The upscale shack-like atmosphere is on point. We love their lobster paper towel holders that are suspended from the ceiling. I can say that the seating inside is comfortable but I have not been able to try the outdoor seating. So far we have tried the scallops, clam strips, fish sandwich, clam chowder, the fries, the coleslaw, and I'm sure I've forgotten something else. We have been very pleased with everything. When visiting in-season, it's best to get to the restaurant before 5pm. Parking fills up and the line can get long. In late October or early November it is much easier to get a table. Try this place once and I can guarantee you'll be planning a return trip. read more

The perfect stop to start our Maine vacation! Started off with a local favorite, Maine lunch IPA... I shared the captains feast .. a super large portion of fried scallops, haddock, shrimp and clams over French fried ... whoa this was a massive amount! Tried some of their lobsters, sweet and delicious! Service was fast and polite! , read more

First, thank you for staying open into the off season!! I just happened across Fisherman's Catch and what a treat it was. I had the whole lobster (1.25lbs) and fried whole belly clams. The meal was absolutely delicious. The service and people were super nice, that includes the server Ani and the kitchen staff. The restaurant and bathrooms were clean and fresh. I'm excited to return here some day. What a great meal. read more

Despite being off Route 1 in Wells the location is picturesque and quiet due to it being on a dead end road, with just a marina past it. Looks like it's been around for decades and like a Maine seafood shack, rather than a chain restaurant. Menu has expected Maine/New England types of chowder and seafood. Service was quick and friendly. Food was generous and well prepared. Not a fancy atmosphere, but good value food and a quiet, scenic view to go with it read more

We have been eating here for 25 years and up until recently I would have given them five stars. No more. The charming rustic (picnic table) atmosphere wears thin when prices exceed white table establishments, service becomes mediocre and the food is just ok. This place reeks tourist trap. read more

Smallest lobster roll I've ever had at normal mkt price. Walked out more hungry than when I walked in.

Thanks to the amazing Yelp community a recent visit had me pick this place to eat. The place was packed at 1:30 in the afternoon almost didn't find a place to park. We opted to sit outside but inside was full. Our waitress Susan M was a ball of energy. We asked for her recommendation and she knew the menu very well and took the time to describe different menu items. My friend and I (at her suggestion) ordered the fisherman's platter scallops, shrimp, clam strips (also a clam belly option) and haddock. It came with Cole slaw and fries. We also each had a fountain drink which was refilled. The scallops were the best I ever had in my life and I have had them right off the boat. The just melted like butter in my mouth. The haddock was also a winner. The shrimp and clams were good. There was a lot for two people . Everything was hot and very fresh even the roll. There was enough leftover for another meal. Market priced I figured would be pricey but the goal bill was 45.00. They split are bill with no problem. Susan also recommended the bread pudding but we were too full that day. Next time. Also had shirts and souvenirs for sale. read more

Great spot for classic Maine seafood with a fun, laid-back vibe. I had the lobster roll--packed with fresh, sweet lobster meat and just the right amount of dressing. Definitely hit the spot. I also tried the vodka blueberry lemonade, and it was so refreshing. Perfect drink for a summer day by the water. The outdoor seating was a nice bonus, giving it that true coastal Maine feel. Service was friendly and quick, and the menu had plenty of options if you're craving more than just lobster. Prices are what you'd expect for a good seafood place in Maine--worth it for the quality. Overall, a great stop and one I'd definitely come back to! read more

I am a sucker for a good old-timey fish shanty and the Fisherman's Catch is just that. It has all the charm. They even had live music on their outdoor patio. We arrived at about 1ish on a Thursday and the place was packed. I always figure that a full parking lot is a good sign. We ordered light. Just some fried clam strips and a cup of clam chowder. Yes. Yes. Yes. Rich, creamy and flavorful chowder. Not thin, but not thick, just creamy. No extra "stuff" in it. So good. The breading on the strips was a crispy , lights coating. Nice and crunchy. Perfectly fried, not rubbery. You can taste the freshness in these clams. Sweet and delicious. read more

Delish! The haddock sandwich was fantastic! The fish was so moist and flavorful! The server was welcoming, fast, and efficient! Well priced too! read more

We had great seats in the cute little caboose and listened to live music. Very relaxing vibe here. The calamari was excellent and the caesar salads with buffalo shrimp were super yummy. They don't make the best cocktails but it is not that type of place in my mind. read more

This spot is definitely a hit if you're into fried seafood--everything was fresh and well-prepared. We ordered the Captain's Meal for two along with a few extras like soup and calamari, and it was all super tasty. That said, we didn't realize the whole menu leaned so heavily on fried items, which isn't totally our thing. We probably would've ordered a bit differently had we known. Still, the quality was solid, and it's a great option if you're craving that classic seafood shack read more

We had lobsta and it was great. Complete with bib Paper towels hanging above table was nice read more

Cool place off the beaten path great friendly service clam chowder was really good had the usual fried scallops clams everything above average. For the price would like to get my beer in a glass and metal utensils... disposable everything else is fine read more

Decided to have lunch at Fisherman's Catch while we were in Wells today. If you enjoy fresh, fresh seafood in a casual setting that is warm, inviting and pristine clean...then this is the place for you. My husband had a cup of clam chowder and the seafood platter: fried haddock, shrimp, scallops and whole belly clams with fries, coleslaw and a roll. He said the chowder was a perfect blend of cream, butter, clams and potatoes. The fried platter was enough for two people so my husband did take a doggy bag with him. My fried calamari also came with coleslaw, fries and a roll. The fried seafood is cooked in fresh clean oil, light in color and tastes delicious. Their cooks know how to prepare fresh seafood spectacularly! Our server Ani provided exceptional service. She checked in on us three times, providing refills and making sure we enjoyed our dining experience. We did! read more

This was our first dining experience in Maine. We ordered a cup of clam chowder and it was fine. The fried clams were market price and surprisingly unsatisfying. Perhaps I should have tried the clam strips. Service was fine. My overall experience didn't match the high Yelp rating. To be fair, I did not order an entree so perhaps their main entrees are much better. read more

Fisherman's Catch is a favorite of my husband's as he has been coming to visit since he was a kid. I, being a vegetarian, was very reluctant to join him here for lunch, but am glad that I did. It is adorable inside, and the service was great. They really make you want to stay and hang out for a while. He got a huge clam platter and said it was awesome - I had a giant basket of onion rings and was pretty thrilled, too. My only wish was that they had something vegetarian-friendly on the menu (but most seafood places do not). If you love seafood and ambiance, this is your spot! read more

Decent food, lacking a bit of flavor. I tried the lobster roll, clam chowder and the fish and chips whole I was in town. All three just needed a bit more love and seasoning. The lobster roll was very small for the price but was very fresh. The staff was incredibly nice and helpful. read more

Waze blew us off course on our regular routine going to Maine. After missing an exit, we decided to try something new instead of backtracking. This proved to be an excellent decision! This place looks like a seafood restaurant from the minute you pull up, until you get inside. Paper towels hanging from the ceiling, nice solid wood tables, and delicious looking food everywhere in sight! We were stopping for lunch, so we decided to try their chowder, and split some onion rings and fried clams. The chowder was the best thick chowder I had probably ever had. I could order this by the gallon to take home! The clams were probably the best that I have had all season, and the onion rings were delicious as well. I can't wait until we go back to Maine in the spring to come here again as our first stop! read more

Delicious as always! We always stop here every trip to Maine! Definitely one of the absolute BEST! Their chowder is likely my favorite, the Fried clams are out of this world and the hand cut onion rings are amaaaazing! read more

Great food and service! Our family of 4 went twice while on vacation and everyone enjoyed the food and laidback ambiance.

Haddock was fresh and cooked perfectly. Love the view of the marsh. Service was friendly. Good beer!

My husband and I happened upon this restaurant while we were out and about exploring in the area during our visit to Maine. Boy, were we glad we stopped in! The place was hopping, but they had the check-in process and wait times well organized and efficient. The place has a total local seafood joint feel to it. Cute, rustic, friendly service and outstanding seafood...who could ask for anything more! We both absolutely loved the fried haddock fish sandwich, and my husband also had fried clams on our second visit and they were sweet, fresh and delicious. If you like fresh seafood, it's definitely a MUST VISIT! read more

Okay, so, this place is ALWAYS busy and parking is super dicey. I recommend putting your name in ahead of time on their online waitlist but BE WARNED, even though it doesn't say anywhere that you have to check in when you arrive, check in at the front desk and tell them you signed up for the online waitlist. I assumed I would just get a text when a table was ready like it says but no, you have to check in. As for the food and atmosphere, it's all TOPS!! Would have given 5 stars if not for the unclear directions on using the online waitlist. read more

Food was very good. Service was excellent. Many choices on the menu. Will definitely return next year.

Here it goes again, I had a 1.25 lb lobster ($31) along with scallops ($28) just today before 5pm. The parking lot is pretty full up already. Overall, two thumbs up! read more

Delightful and everything we ate was very good. Fried clams, fried scallops, chicken sandwich. Excellent clam chowder, blueberry pie and bread pudding. Servers were cheerful, friendly and efficient. The place is simple and charming right on an inlet. read more

The Fisherman's' catch is a family favorite! It's got amazing seafood and wonderful staff! It's a do not miss establishment!

Great little spot . The seafood was delicious. the wait staff were very helpful and friendly. I will return

Best seafood ever! Food is served HOT. No warming trays. Our server, Stephanie, was fast, courteous, with a good sense of humor. New renovations. Great new awnings. We always get the fisherman's platter. Great view of the tidal basin in Wells Harbor, Maine. read more

We received a recommendation for Fisherman's from a friend who lives locally. We put our names on the waitlist, and by the time we arrived we only had to wait about 30 minutes for our table. Started with the clam chowder, then for our dinner my boyfriend and I split the combo plate (scallop + clam strips) and the haddock bites. All of it was EXCELLENT, and both my boyfriend and I agreed the fried scallops were the best either of us had ever eaten. My boyfriend grew up on Cape Cod so that is definitely a high remark! Finished with the homemade Maine Blueberry Pie which was too enticing to stop for a picture. Service, food, and vibes were excellent and I will definitely be returning! read more

Great Maine seafood and great lobster-pound ambience. Best clam chowder. Great selection of lobster rolls.

A must have when in wells. Best baked haddock I've had in a long time. Fish and chips and fried scallops also very good. Tried the bread pudding for dessert this visit. It better never come off the menu, it's amazing! read more

Cute laid back spot. Outdoor seating. Picnic tables & metal lawn furniture with covered area and trolley seating. live acoustic music was awesome! Very friendly and attentive staff. My daughter had shut the car door on her finger and it was bleeding and they were very helpful and compassionate bringing her ice and Band-Aids and really going above and beyond to make sure she was OK and comfortable. Food was great, fresh and delicious, with very prompt friendly service. Pet friendly outside! I would come back and highly recommend this establishment! read more

Food ordered lobster role fries and slaw satisfying. Clam Roll was the largest I have ever seen!!! The haddock sandwich also big. I taste tested all and each dish spectacular fresh and tasty!

Definitely worth turning off the main road to grab lunch here between antique shops. This is colorful, happy sun shine spot, with a warm outdoor deck, a proper selection of beers, lots of tables, and friendly staff! We had a very generous haddock fillet sandwich, with fresh hot fries & crisp slaw, and of course a lobster roll, which was also great -and on special came with fries and slaw as well. The beers were cold, as was the jumbo size tartar sauce squeeze bottle they brought out! Everything was delicious! read more
