Red's might serve the best fish sandwich in New England. The crispiness is crazy. It is a sandwich you can only eat in all caps--CRUNCH. Beyond that, it's a super fresh, perfectly proportioned sandwich. And when you account for its emphasis on sustainability, it's the crunchiest, most delicious way to save the oceans. It's a new must for me when I hit Boston Public Market (the best food market in Boston for those in the know.... and also tourists like me who use Reddit and Yelp for food recs). read more

Public Market was much less touristy than Quincy Market so I decided to check it out. I ordered the lobster roll here which came with a bag of Cape Cod chips. The lobster roll was pricey but it was hefty and had a large amount of lobster. I also appreciated that they put chives on top. The lobster meat tasted super fresh and the brioche roll was fresh as well. It's definitely better than any lobster roll you can get at Quincy Market. I would definitely come back if I'm ever in the area. read more

Red's Best - Lobster Roll - Seafood Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Seafood so fresh! I liked the map showing their fresh and sustainable process of how they get fish from MA fishermen. Had the soft shell crab BLT special. It was delicious with the added lemon wedges squeezed on, and my first time having fried soft shell! Not served with a side but I didn't need one. Counter service in a busy market so nothing special but the food was fresh. Kind of expensive but the quality is obvious. Located in the public market with plenty of seating and other food stands if you want to mix and match your meal. Industrial/wood vibe. read more

Located in Boston Public Market. A friend recommended the clam chowder here. It did not disappoint. Creamy but not too creamy and lots of clams. So good! We went on a Tuesday and took advantage of the Taco Tuesday deal - 2 fish tacos for $10! The fish was fried - not too greasy or heavy though - wrapped in two corn tortillas each with lettuce and sauce. Limes on the side. The order took a few minutes to be made, but it was worth it. Open seating throughout the market where there are lots of other food and other shops. read more

The food was amazing as expected! I was a little sad that the scallops were sold out, as we specifically came for the scallop roll (we had it 10 years ago and still haven't forgotten it!). However, we tried the salmon burger and clam chowder instead. Both were perfectly seasoned--not too salty--well-prepared, and delicious! The staff members were friendly and the service was very quick. We stopped by on a Sunday afternoon when it wasn't too crowded, so there was no line and it was a nice, quiet atmosphere for dining. The entire place was clean, including the restrooms. We will definitely be back for that scallop roll next time! read more

Real good fish for the fish n' chips! Super fresh fish and the batter was the perfect thickness (not super thick or thin) with decent flavor that actually stuck to the fish. Tartar was solid too, helped by a good squeeze of lemon on the cod. Chips were satisfying when freshly served, but didn't quite hold up over the rest of the meal and got a bit soggy. Chowder was good, but nothing to write home about. Service was fast once noticed, but not particularly friendly, I was the only customer and cashier was on their phone for a bit, saw me but didn't approach me till I said something. Plenty of seating and easy to chat in terms of ambiance. Would return for the fried fish, it was notably fresh! read more

Delicious seafood in the Public Market! We got the Oyster Po'Boy, Clam Chowder, Fish Chips, and Lobster Roll. The crisp was great on the fried items and all the seafood was very fresh. The two sauces on the Po'Boy definitely elevated the sandwich--so good! Main drawback was the small portion sizes for the price read more

Red's Best - Menu as of 5/22/26 - Seafood Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

The restaurant is located inside of Boston Public market. It is order at the counter and food came out rather quickly. There was not a wait likely because we went on a Tuesday evening. They had a great deal on fish tacos and the tacos were by far my favorite meal there. We also tried the fish and chips as well as the lobster roll, both of which I thought were good but not phenomenal. read more

Amazing! I went back multiple times on my trip for the clam chowder and spicy tuna avocado roll.

What a gem! Service and food were both excellent. I walked to Boston Public Market from my hotel nearby and explored a bit. I got a few things from different stalls, but came here to grab my husband a fish sandwich and fries for lunch. While waiting, I saw the fresh oysters through the glass and inquired about the cocktail sauce (it looked to be housemade). The man working the counter went to double check it was gluten and dairy free for me, and it was! So I went ahead and got one of each oyster available that day; I also loved that they gave you the details about what fisherman caught them and all. Super cool. The oysters were shucked right there in front me and were served with lemon, cocktail sauce, and mignonette on a lil paper plate. It was the perfect afternoon snack! Absolutely delicious and so fresh, shucked so cleanly as well. My husband said the fish sandwich was super tasty, as were the fries. They were huge portions as well. Highly recommend this spot for a casual and delicious bite! read more

Walked by many times without realizing they offer food in addition to being a fish market. Excellent lobster roll - worth the price. The chowder wasn't my favorite but ymmv. Friendly service read more

Rate 3.5 Clean, fast service, order at kiosk. Red's Best Seafood is a great little place within BOS Logan's Boston Public Market for last minute bites of CLAM CHOWDER, FISH TACOS, SALMON BURGER, DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER, LOBSTER ROLL, CAESAR SALAD and FRIES. Ordering is via several kiosks located within busy Boston Public Market. Seating is scattered throughout w/small tables and stand up counters, plus a bar with if needed. Orders come out fairly quickly, piping hot. Food is decent but it's still airport food. FISH TACOS are good (wish for more fish), LOBSTER ROLL and CLAM CHOWDER are good. I'll come back to try their SALMON BURGER, GRILLED CHICKEN SANDWICH, and FISH SANDWICHES next time. read more

Not that great small amount of amount of fish and basic fries. Drinks were nothing great bitter tasting .

Stopped in to treat myself to a lobster roll since it's been a while. I knew what to expect about the price $40. No problem for a rare treat. However, this was the first lobster roll I've gotten where more than half was two hunks of tail meat. It tasted good but.....damn. If you're not crazy about a lot of chewy tail meat in your lobster rolls stay away. read more

Love love love this place! I can't believe I got a mouthwatering, juicy cheeseburger and the most delicious fries from a d seafood restaurant. Like out of this world, delicious.

The best clam chowder ive ever had in my life. Wonderful and kind customer service from Nicola and Harold

This place is pretty good. We tried the fish taco and fish and chips and the fish is very tender but it's slightly under seasoning. I would say fish and chips have better value. It's $4 more, but the portion is a lot bigger. The fries are very good too. It's crispy outside but moist inside. The clam chowder is pretty good as well. It's just a little bowl (initially we thought it's a cup size) is more than $9. read more

If you wanna skip the crowds and waiting for a seat to eat your food, hop over to the boston public market (literally 1 block from Quincy market) and get the clam chowder here. This seafood counter is in the back of the market and delivers on taste, clams, thickness, and not too salty clam chowder. Bonus was that I had plenty seating options to sit and enjoy my soup. At $6 a cup, it was perfect, and comes with a small bag of oyster crackers. I'll have to come back before I leave town to get a lobster roll! read more

This counter at Boston Public Market is amazing. The salmon nigiri was the best prepackaged sushi I have ever eaten. It was so buttery and smooth! Must have been freshly prepared and I picked it up just in time. The fish cakes were also great - and at a great price. I wasn't even disappointed that the stuffed clams were not available read more

Best clam chowder we've had in Boston. We came several months ago and tried different clam chowders. Red's Best is thick, creamy and delicious. We like it better than Legal Seafood, our Boston native friends' go to place. read more

Quincy Market is fun, but is touristy. So, having quality lunch without the busyness can be challenging. Highly recommend luncheon at the Boston Market Place. More of a local favorite! We had linch at Res's Best. The lobster roll was AMAZING, less carb and more lobster! And the Taco Tuesday $10 special was so fresh! Give this a try! read more

Stopped at Reds at the Boston airport and had a great dinner! They're small menu focuses on several great meals. There are plenty of seafood options available. I had the fish tacos. They had plenty of fish and toppings that complimented it perfectly. Staff was quick and efficient! The bar is right near it with several options. A good stop before a flight! read more

One of the best (and more affordable) lobster rolls we had this weekend! The seafood was fresh and refreshing, packed with flavor, and well worth the visit. The staff was super friendly, and the atmosphere of the Boston Public Market made it even better--tons of great shops and local vendors to explore. If you're looking for a delicious, reasonably priced lobster roll in Boston, this is the spot! Would definitely come back. read more

Such a gem inside the Boston Public Market. The lobster roll was delicious, at a decent price point. The octopus salad and clam chowder were also delicious. Will be back to try the other options. Extra tip: shucked oysters are available Friday-Sunday (unopened only the other days) read more

A must-visit if you're in the area!!! I was craving fish and chips and specifically came here to try it. I've heard great things about Red's and my experience definitely lived up to the hype! The workers are awesome- the kitchen opened at 11, which I didn't realize, and I came around 10:15. But one of the cooks was really nice and offered to cook my meal anyways, which I deeply appreciated. The fish had a crispy batter but wasn't greasy, and the chips had a nice bite and everything came out hot! I loved their tartar sauce too, and the portion was good considering it was only $16. Already planning my return! read more

The bluefin tuna sushi sampler was sinewy and stringy, which at $20 for 6 pieces felt egregious.

Stopped here along a food tour. We had lobster rolls. Sooooo good!! They were not quite warm but not quite cold. Pure lobster with a little flavor. Not drenched in butter or in mayo. Fresh and filling. Great stop in the north end market where everything is local. Bonus that they are a sustainable business. read more

The main stop on the Secret Boston Food tour, our group got to sample a full-size lobster roll from Red's Best Seafood, located deep in the Boston Public Market. Red's is mainly known as a middle man in getting fresh seafood from local fisherman to the customers in an efficient manner. This location is one of their few retail outlets, serving the best seafood. The lobster roll was a classic cold-style variety, but substituting the mayo with a small amount of creme fraiche, and not much filler (e.g. vegetables). It was a combo of the different types (claw, tail, and knuckle) and had been cooked perfectly and then chilled. It was served on top of a top split brioche toasted hot dog bun, and the meat overflowed. I really liked it, and might be the only type of cold lobster rolls that my wife will eat. read more

After trekking along on the Freedom Trail all morning and early afternoon, we decided to give our feet a rest and grab some lunch. I had scoped out this place since it was nearby to Faneuil Hall. There were a couple of people in front of me buying fish to prepare at home. My wife decided on the fish and chips, and I had a lobster roll and a cup of chowder. The lobster roll was great and had plenty of meat. I appreciated the lack of mayonnaise in the recipe. The clam chowder was good but needed more clams and some salt. I added some Tabasco sauce to kick it up a little. My wife loved the fish and chips. The fries were plentiful, fresh, and delicious. Even after helping her with the fries, there were still quite a few left. I like that wasn't in a traditional setting as there was plenty of seating. Definitely would come back here to try some of their other options. read more

We found ourselves with a longer layover than we thought at Boston Airport recently and needed some grub. When in Boston, why not grab a lobster roll right? We were actually in Boston last year for a foodie trip and has been craving for more lobster roll ever since. The one here at Red's Best definitely hit the spot and satisfy our cravings. I just wish they would serve it warm. It was $39.95 as of March 2024, not outrageous for airport price and especially when Legal Seafoods wants $50 a few steps away. Order at a kiosk and your food comes out soon after. Hubby also added a burger since we shared the lobster roll. read more
