ahi, steak, and smoked scallops
Kelsey B.

Best little shop! Staff was so knowledgeable and helpful. We picked up some fresh ahi tuna, smoked sea scallops, and some steaks. Everything was absolutely delicious. Can't wait to return and try their lobster dinners! Make sure you pick up a container or two of their monkey munch too- absolutely addicting.

I usually get Sayle's (so this will be more of a comparison review), but decided on Glidden's this year to pick up the lobsters and other delicious seafood treats. Looks like Sayle's actually lobster dinner has better value as it's cheaper and you get the addition of the chowder, which you do not at Glidden's. But, cue Glidden's. No line, I opted for just the lobster and it was about $17/lb. It didn't come with drawn butter, which would have been niced, but they did crack it for me, so there's that. They have every type of fish you'd want and that you'd get at the other 6 or 7 fish markets on island. It's conveniently located in the shopping center next to the Stop & Shop and liquor store, so all your needs can be met in one trip. The calamari again, more expensive than Sayle's. But I appreciate Glidden's version as it had an extra kick with the addition of banana peppers thrown in there. My hubs when with the fried oyster po'boy and he enjoyed it, with quite a few meaty fried oysters in there with fried pickles on a huge roll with fries. Unlike Sayle's, there is no option to eat in, this is strictly to go only. Overall, I'm a fan. If you don't mind paying an extra few bucks to skip the lines and the crowds at Sayle's, and don't mind the lack of chowder, you'll be just as happy at Glidden's.

Best fish selection and customer service on island. When they have it, the smash burger & fries are the best I've ever had!

Owner is a classic NE curmudgeon, and the selection is rock solid and super fresh. Authentic vintage Nantucket!

Holy yum. Breakfast bagels were amazing. The bagel itself was dense in a good way. Perfectly crisp…read moreand chewy. Not too hard. I got Asiago cheese bagel (sausage egg and cheese). The white cheese they used (idk which) was so yummy and added perfect flavor to the bagel sandwich. Most days I'd probably only be able to eat half but I was so hungry today so the full sandwich was good. They serve Starbucks and that was perfectly made as well (I got hot white mocha). There was an awkward situation where one staff member tried to hand us our bagel order then the other staff said it's not ready and they proceeded to go back and forth, confusing us as to whether or not we were okay to take the bag. Turns out it was the correct order, but only half of it. One staff member just wanted to put the second half of the order in the same bag and the other didn't understand that - causing confusion for us as well. But good service for us regardless just a little awkward. Cute store and good breakfast options. Would go back!

A must visit food establishment when you are in Nantucket…read more Whether or not you are cooking your own meals, or need prepped foods, NANTUCKET MEAT & FISH MARKET is a must visit. The raw meats & seafood section has a well-curated selection of meats, seafood and cuts. The shelves are stocked with items that will go well with the meat and seafood selections cooked in the manner you'll likely choose. Party items like wine, champagne, charcuterie board elements are available too. Their DELI is a great place to get your LOSTER ROLLS or even CRAB SANDWICHES. They make and serve coffee as well. They have a sizable parking lot which is overflowing with impatient vacationers in certain times of the day. All workers are efficient.
