Haddock Jack's To Go, formerly The Soup Shack, offers a selection of fresh fried seafood (haddock, clams, shrimp, scallops), fried clam cakes, lobster rolls, fresh cut fries, sweet potato fries, onion rings, chowder, sandwiches, chicken tenders, salads, and bottled drinks. The prices are moderate, but fair. They include one sauce for each item ordered and $0.50 for each additional sauce. The place is takeout only with no seating inside, just a small standing area by the door and counter.
While driving in the area outside of Sanford, I decided to stop in at Haddock Jack's for some fried seafood. Another long time seafood place, 1000 feet away was not open yet. I ordered the Fried Haddock Dinner ($19 plus tax) and a large order of Clam Cakes (5 for $18 plus tax), coming out to $39.96 with tax (cash). They charge a small fee for card payment. My order was ready to go in about 6 minutes.
The boxed fried haddock dinner had a large fried breaded piece of flaky haddock filet on top on firm hand cut fries (a bit greasy of course), small cup of creamy tangy cole slaw (cabbage & carrot), tartar sauce, & lemon wedge. The deep fried clam cakes were very hot, crisp & greasy on the outside with a soft batter clam mix filling inside, tartar sauce & lemon wedge provided. All of the fried goodness I ordered, lived up to my expectations for a tasty filling lunch. read more
