Fried Belly Calm
Jesse R.

Fried belly clam and fisherman's platter is what I stop in for! Of course the chicken tender plate is a must. Best around. Service is quick & simple. Tip: Call-in ahead of time so when you arrive - no wait. (There's an extra charge for credit card pay) Always delicious fresh food here. Prices could come down 10-15% though. Avg. visit time is 20-30 mins. Highly recommend.

Clam strip plate

Stopped for the first time and got the clam strip plate as a throw back to my favorite snack at the ice cream stop I worked at when I was 14. They were- salty, briny, yummy - perfectly crisp and the breading wasn't too heavy. The fries were on point as well, crispy and hot. The basket was overflowing so much so that when I sat them on the passenger seat the car recognized the weight and wanted a seatbelt to be put on... I don't do coleslaw, tartar, or ketchup so I'll have to ask them to hold those next time so they're not wasted but definitely great quality and quantity for the price. Cute, old school spot with indoor and outdoor seating. Food was done quickly, staff was friendly, no complaints. Will be back!

Menu as of 10.12.25

10.12.25 Had the half and half plate with belly clams and scallops for $29.42. Definitely some of the best clams and scallops around. Golden brown and not overcooked like I've experienced at other area restaurants. The clam bellies were medium to large and quite good. The scallops were about an inch and a half in diameter. Kind of pricey but seems to be the going rate in New Hampshire.

Lobster roll with clam chowder
Kathy L.

We would definitely come back. Prices are fair for the quality and if you're having a craving for lobster rolls but don't wanna break the bank, they know what they're doing up here. Service is fine. You order, sit down, and come pick it up when they call your number. A lot of outside seating as well but it's always packed every time we go. Usually pretty loud, family friendly, and seems that some ppl will stop and order outside just to get some ice cream.

Half and half clam belly and scallops 33 bucks. Not to bad
Stephen W.

Back again only had to wait about 10 15 mins the food was absolutely fresh delicious and you can definitely share this. I would recommend sharing the seafood platter that comes with a big piece of haddock, french fries full belly, clams, scallops and five shrimp. I did eat a lot of it, and I took the rest back to my hotel the service is always hot a lot better than most places, the place that make sure tables are clean and it's always busy, but the portion sizes are excellent as well as you can see from some of the pictures of the fisherman's combo I paid $46 market price with a drink so that's not bad. Definitely will come back again

The food was delicious I had a cheese burger and Oreo ice cream. The ice cream was pretty big so I recommend getting a kid size.

That settled it; we had to try it. Out of sheer excitement or exhaustion, we forgot to make a reservation. I quickly remembered this mistake as we entered Hooked. People filled every table and seat at the bar. I looked at my bestie with great concern because we were anticipating our first meal of the day. The hostess welcomed us warmly, and then she asked the dreadful question, "Do y'all have a reservation?" We sadly said no, and she immediately began to express regret. Maybe it was the "Grad2026" headband or the disappointment on our faces that caused her to have pity on us because she told us to wait one second. The hostess walked to the bar, then she went to the main seating area, lastly she went next door where there's additional seating. She returned with a smile and motioned for us to follow her. The hostess found us seats at the bar! We ordered, chatted with the locals, and ate a delicious meal. We even made room for dessert which we learned was made by the owner, the hostess! Whenever we visit New Hampshire again, we're definitely stopping by Hooked!

But they do have some tables and we were able to put two together and all sit. They had a large tv playing cartoons, so the kids were entertained while we waited. Great menu options for adults and kids. Sandwiches, wraps and salads were our focus, but they did share they offer an incredible seafood menu. Maybe next time. The food was fantastic. Perfect for our group. The onion rings were a huge hit and the fries were crispy and not mushy. My Italian was loaded with everything and worth every penny. A family business it seems and they all were so pleasant and nice to talk to. They even gave me a recommendation for a park to take the kids. Not to go into the details, but this meeting was a bit emotional for me and the mom but worked here and I greatly appreciate it. Thank you and see you soon

HUGE shout out to Michelle, Eli, Coop, Jessica and the ENTIRE staff at The Catch for helping us…read morehost a pre-wedding welcome party on 9/5/26! We wanted a casual, fun, typical Maine setting for our out-of-town guests and The Catch exceeded our expectations. The food was excellent - lobster rolls, grilled swordfish tacos, mini fisherman platters and of course...New England chowder! And whoopie pies for dessert! The new backyard patio provided beautiful views of the marsh and the fire pits and cornhole games added to the ambience. Our guests had such a good time and we're still getting compliments a week later. Everyone was so accommodating and easy to work with. Service was excellent! Thank you for a fun and memorable "night before!" Looking forward to visiting next year!! Fran, Josh and Lorianne

This used to be one of my favorite seafood spots, but apparently it was sold a couple years ago…read more Today is the first time we've gotten the chance to go and it was a disappointing and frustrating experience. I'd been coming here for at least 20 years, and in recent years it had been a favorite spot to eat outside when traveling with my dog. But now, we are not allowed to eat outside with a dog. Instead we had to order to-go and then walk down back to a 'dog area' which is a spot to the left of the building, below the parking area with one picnic table and some chairs in the woods. It was a beautiful sunny day, but we were getting eaten alive by no-seeums, which is not a nice experience when paying $100 for 1 meal with 6 scallops, 4 small pieces of fried fish, fries and slaw, an order of onion rings, a small clam chowder, and 2 beers. And $50 for a small lobster, an ear of corn, and an iced tea. I get that this is a tourist area, but $12 for a beer in a plastic cup and a $7.50 up charge for 6 scallops while being banished to a buggy spot that made eating very uncomfortable is a big no thank you for me. Crossing this place off my list, sadly. The upgrades and changes to this place are not a bonus at all. I'm sad that a place I always felt was friendly and welcoming is now overpriced and we all felt like we were being treated as second class citizens.

I decided to go with the Regular Classic Loukoumades ($9.90 plus tax) and added Praline Chocolate Sauce ($1.90 plus tax). There was a line to the counter, but it moved quickly. I received my Loukoumades in about 5 minutes after ordering, which I quickly enjoyed in the food court with a hot coffee. The box was filled with a dozen or so loukoumades balls smothered in plenty of rich chocolate sauce. They also have picks at the counter for enjoying this treat since it was messy.
