The fish is consistently fresh, well filleted, and fairly priced. We are usually flexible on what we pick up for dinner. I usually just ask what is freshest and we have never been disappointed. We also swing by when we are headed home from Port Clyde We get 5-10 lbs of fish, toss it in a cooler loaded with ice, and arrive home 12+ hours later with enough fish and scallops to fill our freezer. The white-haired guy who runs it on the days we have been here this year is friendly and helpful. The hours can be varied so call if you have a bit of a drive or are headed over for something specific. We called to check if they were open a few days ago and confirmed they were. The guy thoughtfully called us back after we talked to clarify that they were out of crab that day in case that's what we were looking for.

The…read morerelationships she maintains with local fishermen and women is evident in the quality of her selection. We were staying in South Thomaston for a month and the owner of the VRBO highly recommended her. We stopped by on several occasions and picked up mussels, clams, and halibut (got lobster straight from the dock and oysters from local oyster farmers). The halibut was so supreme that we ordered 50lbs to take home. She had them flash frozen and we are now completely ruined as far as fresh halibut is concerned :) Great selection of wines and local ciders. The only drawback: the parking lot is bitch to get in and out of (tiny). Stayed in Maine for three months, all over the state. Most restaurants were an epic disappointment.. yes you're cooking it yourself and your wallet will know you were there, but this was worth the effort and every cent!

It takes 3-4 years to grow our oysters because of the pristine, COLD waters in which we grow them in but this is what makes them a very desirable oyster! It’s what gives them a unique flavor profile like no other : clean, crisp, and briny, yet sweet liquor! We are open daily from 8am-6pm from April-December or January. We also sell shucking knives and fresh “off the boat” live lobster, generally from June-December. Please call 1-2 days in advance for live lobster as I need time to plan for your order and accommodate you. Thank you!! Please call for more details!!

Or they will cook them for you to eat at a dockside picnic table and watch the lobsters being unloaded, weighed, and held until retailers pick them up. We ordered a just a pound of clams and a 1.5 lb lobster and butter to share. You can also purchase some sides and drinks. In hindsight we could have brought our own bread, salad and wine or beer and that would have been OK. But the seafood was enough for us. Very low key, no frills, and the lobster couldn't be fresher. Love that kind of place for half the price of a lobster roll somewhere much fancier. We'll be back.

The lobster roll kit arrived well-packed, very cold, not frozen (we appreciated that the rolls were not refrigerated) tasted sweet and fresh, had ample perfectly cooked lobster, and a great mix of tails, claws, and knuckles. It tasted as though it had just come off the boat. and made a truly memorable meal. There is no wonder it has been rated as the best lobster roll in Maine. It was worth every penny.

The lobster was so chewy we ended up tossing at least 30% of it (it might have been more). McLoons lobster was horrible. We would have been better off buying frozen lobster locally. In decades, we've never had chewy lobster from our local market (Zupans). I honestly don't know how they have the rave reviews they do, unless they are filtering out the bad ones. I can't in good conscience recommend them at all.

Usually when a place calls them jumbo it's laughable but there was no false advertising here. What's even better is that they are the product of a father / daughter duo and I love to support local and family businesses. This place is nondescript but a must eat if you're in the area. No better pricing or quality.

Unfortunately, the oysters were extremely small and rightfully referred to as cocktail oysters. Because they were so small, it was hard to gauge their flavor and barely worth the time to shuck.

Could one day perhaps be one of the wonders of Maine.
