There were two staff members and Stanley Larsen, owner of Menemsha Fish Market, taking orders when our group walked in. Everyone was very friendly. I ordered a cup of the New England Clam Chowder ($6.25), Crab Cake Sandwich ($13.55), a hot stuffed quahog ($5.75), and a coke ($2.00). On the counter, there were samples of the New England Clam Chowder and Lobster Bisque. They were both very good. The New England Clam Chowder was creamy like how I liked it and it had a good amount of potatoes and clams. I really enjoyed the Crab Cake Sandwich and stuffed quahog. The Crab Cake was stuffed and a good size. The quahog was buttery and had a good amount of stuffing. There are a few tables next to the fish market to enjoy your food. Later on, the owner shared his story of catching a great white shark in 1983 while swordfishing and showed us its jaws. If you are in the fishing village of Menemsha or Menemsha public beach, make sure you stop by Menemsha Fish Market. Restrooms are located adjacent to the parking lot in front of Menemsha Fish Market.

Fresh seafood here!…read more Pricey for a take out only place. There is some outdoor seating. We got fried scallops, fried belly clams, clam chowder, crab cake sandwich, and a sautéed lobster roll. The fried scallops were fresh! We opened it to eat within minutes but they were already soggy. I think they need to pat dry them out a bit more before frying them. Lightly seasoned. The clams were much better. Whole belly with lots of flavor. The tartar sauce was used for both of them. The sauce was amazing! The clam chowder looked watery upon opening it but it was thicker than expected. Flavorful and full of clams! Stuck my spoon in there and whoa lots of potatoes and clams at the bottom chilling. The crab cake sandwich was great! Good value, fresh, and tasty. Every component of it meshed well. The lobster roll was fresh as well. Hot and buttery. Kinda plain though. Some hot sauce helped.

We were greeted by very attentive staff, who explained all of the gluten free options (which were plentiful). Most importantly, the margaritas were strong and we were able to choose the rim, so we went with Tajin! As for the food, it's not every day that you find GF fish and chips, so we went for it. It was delicious and crunchy, with a great tartar sauce. Why four stars? The slaw was a bit drenched in sauce and thus difficult to eat--I would have loved a crisp and crunchy slaw. Additionally, we got French fries that were still frozen mixed in with cooked ones. Luckily, the staff speedily replaced them. A low key, pleasant night out, I would still definitely recommend Fish to both visitors and islanders alike!
