Have you ever pulled up to a restaurant and you were the only guest there so you start to wonder if the place is actually any good? lol ... thats what happened when we went there, but we stuck it out and were VERY happy we did. We came around lunch time and as we ordered our food the place began to fill up and by the time we were leaving the place was starting to get packed out! Their food is simple, fresh ingredients made without any pretenses. If you are considering making the drive, I recommend you do because it was completely worth it! read more

I wish this was closer to Portland. Then again, I don't wish that at all, as the snobby city-folk would probably destroy the charm of this place. It is a relaxed and unassuming vibe. Everyone seemed to be locals/regulars. The fish market is on the left side, and the dining area on the right. They let me know to just sit anywhere, and yes, they do table service. The haddock sandwich is outstanding. The fish was fresh, of quality, and still moist. The bun is nothing to scoff at, as they use quality bread from a proper bakery and not a factory. It makes a difference! Pay with cash and get a whopping 4% discount. read more

I got the combo plate & it was the BEST haddock/shrimp I've ever had!!! Absolutely delicious. Fresh, light, perfectly cooked. 10/10

We enjoyed our coconut shrimp, haddock and clam cake (a first for me). Kinda funky ambience, but good fried fish and the fish market looked appealing. read more

We did take out. Combo - haddock & clam were good. Lobster sandwiches were delicious & served with homemade chips & coleslaw was delicious too. There was a fish market with a great variety of shellfish & fish available too. We really enjoyed the meal. read more

We ventured out in the cold to take Wayne's dad out for haddock. The menu options are quite extensive, and lots of combinations available. The fried haddock & shrimp were super fresh, lightly breaded and a generous portion. The fries were good, the onion rings and clam cake seemed like frozen - would probably not order again. On the way out we noticed the pre-packaged stuff - so will look more at that next time. Service was friendly & efficient. I thought the use of plastic utensils seemed a bit off, and the place was chilly, but will go again. read more

First, the napkins they provide are excellent. The coleslaw was delicious. We ordered 1lb of haddock for $20 and split it with the sides offered. Coleslaw $4. Fast service. Fresh fry batter, a bit greasy but didn't take away from the fresh fish flavor. Vibes are if you are in a house with good AC. No complaints The haddock was delicious read more

Excellent spot where few exist! Best fried haddock. Nice clams. Seafood fridge for take home. Bit pricey, though. Really friendly service. Sweet potato fries a worthy upgrade. A dog-friendly picnic table was out front even in chilly springtime. Worth a trip! read more

The food is outstanding and the owners and the staff are exceptional. The food is always fresh and hot and their takeout always has a wide variety read more

This is the quintessential Maine lobster shack. Very fresh fried clams and scallops, amazing lobster stew. I was like a Tasmanian devil vacuum cleaner mowing this deliciousness. The clam chowder was excellent also. Great service, very personable. read more

The reviews don't lie!!! We went for a late lunch on Monday, the place was totally empty which never bodes well...but my dudes...this place was so fresh and so delicious!! We had the coconut shrimp dinner per the servers recommendation and the haddock dinner per my desire for fish and chips I highly recommend both. The coconut shrimp has a sweetness and tastes like coconut and fresh shrimp. The haddock was so tender and lightly breaded. And the fries were nice and crispy. Just so good!! Might be some of the best seafood I've ever had read more

Emerson was a delightful server who did a wonderful recommendation of the garlic butter lobster roll. My husband enjoyed his haddock and my son was satisfied with his fish bites. The dining area was clean and his service was attentive to our refreshments. We recommend for anyone visiting the Gray area. If we didn't have other restaurants to try we would be back hands down. read more

Got the Haddock dinner this year hoping for improvement from last year. Last year the Haddock was dry and overcooked. This year the batter was gritty and tasteless. The fries were limp and not cooked long enough. If you want terrible seafood, this is the place! read more

I love this little treasure. The food is consistently excellent. The people who run it are friendly and efficient. It is sparkly clean. My summer visitors love it too. I shop there for fresh fish as well as for take out meals. read more

We've only eaten in once, but take out many times. Probably the best Haddock sandwich in the world. OK, there may be some better, but I've never had any as good. Staff are great and I know they have other menu items, but when I find a winner, I tend to stick with it. read more

This place is an unknown gem with great food and service. It has takeout and also sells fresh fish. We had the Haddock which was amazing! Prices were very reasonable as well and the portions were generous read more

Fishermen's Net - how to eat a lobster - Seafood Near Me - Gray, Maine

This was my first visit . It's a nice clean restaurant and seafood market that doesn't smell like one. The employees are friendly and helpful . Before visiting I did call because I was unsure if they had a place to eat in . My guest had coffee and they said it was great ! We both ordered combination plates of haddock and scallops with onion rings . We were served ice water when we were sat. That was nice . They had premium quality napkins and plastic cutlery . The haddock was amazing ! Along with the onion rings ! Perfect ! The scallops were huge ! But very wet so they were not crispy . I asked . So I was hoping to get bacon wrapped scallops or a lobster dinner which was not on the menu . They do sell live lobsters in tanks . Although the breading didn't have much flavor the oil they used tasted very clean . No after taste . We ordered a cup of seafood chowder to try but we're too full. Would liked to have seen more onion rings for the up charge as they were delish ! I will be back for sure ! Next time I'll try the steamed lobster dinner or the Maine man lobster roll ! Blueberry habanero sauce ! Yum ! Ps I'd prefer tartar sauce in individual cups instead of large squeeze bottles used over and over. On table room temp then in fridge then out and in . Mayo spoils . That would probably be the biggest complaint and other places do it as well. My guest said the pickles were good ! read more

The food was good and the staff was friendly. You have to post at least 85 characters but what else should I say?

Super tasty, clean, and staffed with very pleasant people. Found this on our way north for a long weekend and enjoyed it so much we stopped again on the way back. Had fried shrimps/scallops first time. Perfectly cooked with a light coating. Had lobster roll with garlic butter in the way back with house made chips. Five stars for both meals. FYI, they have a picnic table out front and a large green space behind the building (adjacent to the Tailgate Bar) making it a good choice for those traveling with dogs. read more

Before I Even start the review understand that this is THE Best Lobster Roll in the state. Everything about it is perfect from Freshness to Taste, Texture, Flavor and the incredible Portion sizes. The coconut shrimp is crisp, fluffy and filled with flavor. The staff treat you like long time friends and are so kind and informative with any questions. On top of all that, the non restaurant side is a Fish Market where you can buy what they serve and then some. Do NOT miss out. read more

What is wrong with the people of Brunswick that this restaurant was not packed at lunchtime? The food was reasonably priced, amply served, and freaking delicious. read more

Best lobster roll in Maine - no question! Stopped here on a whim and so glad we did. The service was super friendly and the young ladies working the counter were so patient with my son who was being difficult about what to order. We ended up with 2 jumbo lobster rolls which were WELL worth the price of $35, a crab roll and the haddock chowder. The bun was perfectly grilled and buttered. Loved the lemon butter on the lobster. Overall an amazing experience and will certainly be back! read more

I stopped here this morning just after they opened and was greeted by 3 very nice women. I ordered an early lunch in the small dining room next to the fish market. 1. Lobster roll: the regular-sized, classic roll had large chunks of meat that tasted like it was in Casco Bay earlier that morning with just a tiny bit of mayo on a pretty hefty, perfectly toasted bun. I was born and raised in Maine and worked many a summer in the old Cap'n Newicks in South Portland and this was one of the better rolls I've had in a long time. Cost= $26. 2. Side of calamari: see above, I've cooked and eaten more seafood than probably 99.9% of the world's population, and this calamari was perfect. The rings were tender (no mean feat) and the tentacles were crispy and delicious. Cost= $10. My server was super pleasant. I remember wait staff back in the day at the old restaurant would almost always be cranky with the first customer of the day. Not here! I'll have to drive back up from Mass in the fall to try some fried clams. Thanks for a nice experience! read more

We have enjoyed the Haddock combination plates 4 different visits, take out, dinning room is comfortable and clean, close by to event, best French fries, friendly helpful service, and good seafood. read more

Small little side of the road place. You will be surprised. VERY fresh seafood. Fried and delicious. Also sell fresh fish/seafood direct. Not a romantic date place - save that for home read more

Figured I'd give the fishermens net a whirl. I've wanted to check this place out but never really had the excuse. My "go to" seafood joint is in Portland but I really didn't feel like making the trip. And what if this place turned out to be the bomb? Perfect excuse :) I looked at the menu online and noticed right away that you can pick and choose what you want in your seafood platter which is cool because the other joint I go to makes it clear, "No Substitutions". I called and ordered a seafood platter with haddock, scallops, and clams. I added onion rings instead of adding the usual french fries. Usually that just comes with the platter. Oh well. I ordered a lobster roll as well with butter, no mayo. She was very friendly on the phone. I was 10 minutes up the road. When I got there I could smell it cooking as soon as I opened my car door. Mmmmm. There is seating outside. Maybe 4 or 5 mini picnic tables up against the front of the store entrance. The food was done pretty much as soon as I walked in. Very friendly staff. Nice, clean place. Decent beer selection too. The lobster roll and seafood platter came to $43. I was a little surprised at first, but once I got it out of the bag it made sense. The thing was PACKED with lobster meat. All in all I wasn't sure how the pricing went and I wish I paid more attention just for future visits. My wife didn't care for it. I couldn't believe it. She loves lobster. She's a lobster fiend. She didn't like that it was cold meat and she wished she got it with mayo. I tried to tell her lobster rolls are usually served that way. I found nothing wrong with it at all. As far as the fishermens platter, it was... nice. About 6 good size scallops, an okay amount of medium to small size clams, and the haddock was good, 2 or 3 pieces but not much to them. The portions of fish were just a little too thin for me. I like nice meaty portions. But the batter was nice, crisp and light. The onion rings were okay too. Didn't come with Cole slaw FYI. And honestly, for the price, the portion was on the smaller side. In all, The Fishermens Net is a place that I'd like to explore a little more. I've had bigger, better, and tastier fried seafood that was priced slightly better, but I've also had a lot worse to just down right unacceptable at other spots just as well. I want to give them my business just because its a decent spot with friendly staff. The seafood is fresh and there's plenty more on their menu worth trying. I may just stop in for a 6 pack of local brew you won't be finding at Hannaford. I give them a respectable solid 3 stars. read more

Great food and friendly service the prices are a bit high but that's normal for any seafood

Excellent customer service and amazing seating area the seafood is fresh off the water of Maine so big thanks to our lobster crew's.

Decent selection of lobster rolls that are competitively priced and have a good amount of meat. They serve cold lobster on hot rolls only and have over 10 different flavor varieties. I chose the lemon and garlic. I also had their chowder which I personally found terrible. Was too watery and not enough flavor. 4 stars because the have live lobsters, take home meals, are affordable, and family owned. However, this is not the he Ritz! read more
