They can boil lobster right on site -- only takes 15 minutes & they bring it out to your car when it's ready. This is the only thing that is ready to eat on site. If you're a local, they have a lot of fresh seafood for you to take to prepare at home. They offer a ton of alcoholic beverages for you to purchase, along with refrigerated cheeses and desserts. Free parking right out front, easy to get to and find!

Order on the first floor, eat on the second…read more Ordering: It's hard to see what they have since there's not a huge sign with the prices and selection. You have to go to the front to see what they have, and since there's usually a long line, and cashiers funneling people to get their orders and out, it kind of puts some pressure on you to order fast. I would definitely recommend ordering the bigger platters of fish (salmon, uni, tuna) and sharing with a group as opposed to getting the mixed sashimi plate (since you really don't get much value from the mixed plate). Definitely order a seaweed pack and rice per person. Dining: Furikake, wasabi, soy sauce, utensils, boricha, green tea, etc. is all provided! There are little plates that you can pour your furikake/soy sauces onto so you can bring them to your tables. Unfortunately, there was only 2 working microwaves available when I went, so it took a while to get setup before we ate. But definitely worth it - the cafeteria experience is fun :) Bathrooms: Single stalls for F/M. There's a bidet too, so a very nice touch.

This is such a great hidden gem of a spot for fresh sashimi! The uni was so fresh, delicious and…read morevery reasonably priced. The sashimi set and sweet shrimp ordered were also excellent. It all tasted fresh and delicious. The eating area is upstairs and is basically cafeteria style where you get what you need with chopsticks, plates and sauces. It also comes with free barley tea! After you're done eating. You bus your own table and wash your own dishes. The seafood market itself serves all kinds of seafood for consumption or take home. The staff is super nice and chill and the vibes are very casual but delicious food overall!

Hands down one of the best seafood spots in Portland, especially for the price!…read more My husband and I are big seafood lovers, so we had to stop here during our trip. We started with the fish chowder since they didn't have clam chowder. This was probably the only dish that felt average to me, although my husband really enjoyed it. Everything else was a completely different story. The raw seafood was so fresh. We tried the oysters, clams, scallops, and spoons, and every bite tasted clean, fresh, and high quality. The prices were also surprisingly reasonable compared to a lot of other places serving similar seafood. For our entrees, we both went with the hot butter lobster roll. It was classic, simple, and exactly what I expected a good lobster roll to taste like. For the price, I definitely think it was worth it. The restaurant has a casual, laid back ambiance, which fits perfectly with the no frills seafood experience. It's a great spot if you're looking for something relaxed rather than fancy. Service was attentive, friendly, and overall great. If you're in Portland and craving seafood without wanting to spend a fortune, I highly recommend giving this place a try!

This was like being in a bigger city! The cheese bar was open, and we were served a few delicious cheeses with full explanations. We of course ended up buying cheese to go with the wine we were not planning on purchasing. Then I found the wine, wow, what a selection. These are not the supermarket wines, these are excellent selections made by people that know what they are buying. Something unique, delicious, and bold. I loved it. It was pricey, but the service was excellent (until we went to the fish counter - maybe a bad day?). But everyone else in the store was very helpful, kind, and were smiling. The prices were a bit high, but the location is pretty, well organized, clean, and again - very helpful staff.

The place looked clean and the guy was nice enought but the lobster was slimy and smelled bad. I knew better but we ate some and we got very sick. I called him to let him know that he should check his stock and he kept repeating "There's nothing I can do" like he'd heard this issue time and time again. I wasn't asking for $ just for him to check his stock. So... I strongly suggest spending a bit more and going elsewhere.

ON CHRISTMAS EVE I even told him i will pay the price and to ship it he ignored that too now someone is out there not getting there special gift for CHRISTMAS because this ignorant owner doesn't have the decency to give an accurate quote and even then to hang up and not ship the order its just wrong. Don't ever go here you will be but through the ringer and you will but left starving....

We decided to try a variety of items, but we knew first and foremost we were going to order the lobster rolls with butter. Oh my goodness, they were heavenly delicious! I couldn't help but to moan a little while eating it. We also ordered a 6oz plate of the small fried shrimp. Yum!!! Of course we HAD to try the crab cakes, but ordered the sauce and Cajun salsa on the side. The Cajun salsa was devine, especially on the crab cakes. I was hesitant about trying the crab cakes because I don't like mayo, but there was no mayo taste in these. I DEFINITELY recommend Docks and would eat here weekly if I lived locally.

The restaurant was busy during lunch, so clearly many customers are comfortable dining there despite the cost. I ordered the small calamari, which was tasty, well prepared, and not overly crisp. Update following the owner's response: I understand that seafood and restaurant operating costs are high, particularly during the summer in Maine. My review reflected my honest reaction to the prices and the value offered during my visit. I gave the restaurant three stars and did not attack the business or its staff. I am disappointed that the owner responded with personal, condescending remarks rather than addressing a customer's concerns professionally. Readers can evaluate both my review and the owner's response for themselves.

Would have been nice to have had communication along the way so we didn't stress the day of what we were going to feed the folks.

I don't normally review businesses when doing a collab but this one was too good not to share! They ended up sending me 2 live lobsters and a lobster roll kit. They sent me the tracking info and it all arrived on time. The lobsters were well packaged and alive when received. Pretty impressive since they were shipped across the country over night! The lobsters were a good size and we were able to store in our fridge for a few hours until ready to cook. They were nice and meaty and just amazing!! A few days later we made the lobster roll kit. It came with a pound of lobster meat, 6 rolls and special seasoning. They definitely aren't skimping on the meat! We made 4 out of the 6 rolls that day and they were fully loaded with meat left over for the other 2. The rolls aren't huge but you stuff them with all that lobster meat and 2 was quite filling for me! Overall, I was really impressed with shipping and quality. Sometimes I do a collab and the product falls short. Well, not here! The product is literally shipped right to your door and well packaged. The quality was above my expectation, which was great! Lastly, customer service was super friendly! The lady who reached out to me, Krista is so nice! I had a few questions about delivery and how to keep the lobsters alive before cooking. She responded quickly and even sent a how to link for keeping the lobsters alive before cooking. Loved that! It's definitely a splurge! It would be a great treat during the holidays, a gift or if you just want to treat yourself! It's nice to know the option is available, even all the way across the country!

There are several companies that ship lobster and other shellfish from Maine to other American…read morecities. They're all reasonably expensive - after all, they're shipping live lobster, clams and other things directly to you. You can't really judge them on price - but you can judge on quality. THis is the best of the bunch. THey will ship lobsters, crab claws, clams, mussels, shrimp and other locally-caught seafood directly from their shop (right across from the dock on the Portland waterfront) to you. The lobsters always arrive alive and healthy and clean, 24 hours and sometimes less from when they were caught. For under $200 you can have 4 1-person-sized lobsters and a pound each of mussels and clams and crab claws, as well as bibs, shell-crackers, wetnaps and a picture of the fisherman who caught your lobster with a personal note and a map where he shows exactly where and when yours was caught. In fact, lately, they've sometimes offered this as part of a groupon for under $150, which is a fantastic deal (it includes overnight shipping). We got the 4-lobster and misc. shellfish selection as a 10-yr anniversary gift from my parents and it was one of the best gifts we've ever received - we enjoyed it with 2 friends and everyone had a fantastic time. I will absolutely use Catch a Piece of Maine again in the future.
