    Menemsha Fish Market is located in the fishing village of Menemsha. It is a take-out fish market…read morefor raw and cooked seafood such as lobster rolls, chowder, and crab cakes. 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.

    We enjoyed a bite here while waiting on sunset. We had their local catch fish sandwich with Cole…read moreslaw on the side. It isn't battered fish so that in itself is different from the usual preparation of a fish sandwich but still tasty. I wish they also had fries. That would have completed it. Very rustic seating outside.

    We had dinner at Homeport with a large group of 10 people on a Thursday night. They seated us…read morearound 5 minutes after we checked in and though we placed drink orders right away they did take a fair amount of time to come out. The restaurant was fairly crowded and our waitress seemed a bit overwhelmed. Our oysters didn't come out for half an hour, non-raw apps 45 minutes and our main courses didn't hit the table for almost 90 minutes. The oysters were fresh and we really enjoyed the summer succotash, stuffed quahogs and cornbread. For my main I had the Miso Tofu which was ok. It could have been spicier and the inclusion of corn ribs hiding in the curry felt like a mistake because I thought I had somehow found a bone in my curry. My husband liked the scallops he ordered but I had friends that didn't love the linguine and salmon. Rave reviews for the lobster dinner though. Overall it was a pretty uneven meal but the view and location are dynamite.

    I'm baffled at the ratings here on Yelp for this place, it is totally undeservedly-low. It took me…read morea long time to get around to reviewing but I wanted to make sure I got it done (was too busy vacationing to do it at the time). But, wow, this place was beyond fantastic. For starters the atmosphere and location was spectacular. In fairness, Martha's Vineyard is a nice backdrop regardless, but still. Right by the water, and they have their own parking, so unlike many other fine dining on the island, you'll not have worry about a place to stick your car. We sat outside, and it was clean and comfortable. The service was great. The server had mercy on our being utter newbs to the local fishery, he had a great sense of humor. I wish I could remember his name, but they were all friendly, so maybe it doesn't matter. I got a very small portion of oysters on the half shell, just to be sure I have at least a taste. Being from north Texas, I'm not used to having them so amazingly fresh but even options of kinds of oyster! I got the spearpoint oysters because the server said they were harvested the nearest to where we sat, literally like right off the water there. And I know I will probably not live long enough to ever taste oysters as delicious as these were. They. Were. FANTASTIC! And I'm not even some sort of connoisseur of oysters, but I did grow up on the Gulf of MEXICO so I suppose I've had the best we can get from there at least. Like a nerd, I just got 3 count. But they were unforgettable. They were ice cold and the mild saltiness of the encased water tasted like it must have literally been a bit of Atlantic ocean water, but in a good way. The side condiments went with perfectly... just perfection. Oh, and we also got the appetizer cornbread alongside the oysters, and it was sweet and flawless in a hot little iron skillet, with a saucer of smooth butter. I got the Grilled Swordfish (see pics) and wifey got Lobster Cobb. Both were fresh beyond anything we may have ever had in our lives. What we noticed in terms of the use of seasoning that is so different from what we're used to is since the seafood was so fresh the use of seasoning in general is very light, and the reason becomes clear. We're used to seafood being basically overly-seasoned in order to make up for less-than-remarkable seafood, perhaps less fresh, or worse, frozen. But here? The seafood is so delicious and was swimming in the ocean so recently that there's no need for burying it under a blanket of over-compensating flavors. The fish and lobster was delicious all on it's own. Now, that's not to say they didn't masterfully prepare this, oh no, the seafood and side dishes were magnificently made. This was especially true with the crabcake wifey got (wish I got a pic first). Southern cajun style Gulf crabcakes are often so overly seasoned and salty that the crab itself ends up an afterthought. But the crabcake here was like "hello, I'm what actual crab actually tastes like, nice to finally meet you." I should have taken a minute to yell into the kitchen a huge "thank you"! I wish we had more time to linger and drink in the moment, but we sure enjoyed our visit, and would LOVE to return anytime we're ever so lucky as to be back to the island. And I cannot recommend this place enough.
