Welllll.... the whole bellies are a little small, but the quantity and taste are spot on. I'll do like my mum told me and come back when there is a month with the letter 'R' . I wish they had homemade tartar sauce. They only offer the packs. The service was spot on and really friendly. There is even a fish market right there so I ran over to get some fresh salmon. I'll be back in September... hopefully the bellies have grown up by then (lol)

For the #5 review of the 9 CT Lobster Rolls I tried throughout the summer of 2022, we come to a…read moreplace that honestly surprised the heck out of me, Charlie's Fresh Catch, taking the #1 spot of the 6 central CT/Hartford area rolls and #3 of the total 9. Being from the area I must have driven past this place dozens of times without ever even noticing it. It sits just outside "Vernon Center" directly across from what used to be CT Golf Land. Charlie Ballard purchased this place from the previous owner and it's been open since December 2013 and I can't believe it took me almost 10 years to even know it was there. Charlies is a very unique place, like a stand-alone seafood department you'd find in a grocery store but bigger and better. Not only do they carry the basics, they also have things you won't find in a grocery store and a large variety of seafood creations all made right in the store. In fact they have an entire glass case filled with everything from seafood salad, stuffed clams, shrimp and mushrooms to hush puppies, pasta salads and other appetizers. They also have a small selection of produce and large racks of spices, seasonings, batter mixes and more. While they carry some of the major brands they also have their own blends to go along with whatever you're picking up. So much that you might even come out with more than you went in there for. They also carry some of the popular local brands like Hosmer Soda, it's good to see local businesses supporting each other, a win-win in my book. There's also a freezer stocked with soups, pot pies and other prepared seafood (and non-seafood dishes). So much variety that I stopped there at least five times and I feel like I barely made a dent in trying what they have to offer. For the lobster roll it was a tough decision but being the lowest price of all the 9 places I tried it is an incredible value. Served on a 7 inch NE-style hot dog bun they average a little over 6 oz for the whole roll with an average of a little under 3 oz of hot, buttered lobster meat. Probably the closest thing I've found to what you'd get near the shoreline though obviously not as fresh but literally the best one I had of the 6 in the Hartford/central CT area. Small-ish looking but filling and you can't beat the price for what you get They also have a number of other meals for purchase prepared in the store like fish and chips, fried shrimp/clams, fries, hot dogs, chicken tenders and more. The clam chowder is on par with the better ones I've had and has nice chunks of potatoes, clams and vegetable. I still need to go back and try some of the other soups they don't sell hot but keep frozen (lobster bisque). With the holidays approaching I think I may be back once or twice before the end of the year, maybe not for a lobster roll but to sample the great selection they seem to always have. Wish I had found this place years ago, definitely a new repeat customer. Five Stars!!

I've been wanting to check this food truck out. Today was there lucky day. My friend was picking up…read morea catfish sandwich for his mom. He picked up the shrimp and scallops with sweet potato fries. The seafood is very fresh. The shrimp were plump and juicy. I was so happy with my sea scallops. I've dined at seafood restaurants. To my disappointment, the scallops were cut in half. Of your paying top dollar for sea scallops. Please give me what I ordered. Just Fish food truck didn't disappoint. I was very impressed with the presentation of my food. It was piping hot. The fries were on the oily side. No worries, I will return to try other items on the menu. The service was quick and consistent. The truck has great ambiance. The food truck is very colorful and stands out it draws a lot of attention. The hours of service as follows: Monday through Wednesday 11:30 am to 6:00 pm Thursday through Saturday 11:30 am to 7:00 pm.

I've been meaning to check this truck out for a bit but somehow kept missing them…read more There were only 10 mins between ordering and getting my food and the service was friendly. I didn't catch her name but she's the owner's daughter! I got the salmon with fries and an order of hushpuppies, which came to $18. I feel like the portions were a good size for that price. The salmon was fried and not dry but was better with the sweet chili sauce, in my opinion. I didn't know the fries would be seasoned. They weren't bad but I would've preferred them just with salt. The hushpuppies were a little too dry for my liking. They were almost crumbling as I picked them up but the flavor was on point. I overheard a few people talking about their wings so I'll check them out again and try something new!

The food has always been consistently great for years now…read more I love their California wrap and my husband loves the swordfish dishes or the flounder. The pre-dinner bread basket has slices of their homemade cornbread. It's very good, not all crumbly, and we bought a loaf of the cornbread in the fish market store attached to the restaurant. Grace was our waitstaff tonight and was upbeat and attentive, as are all the staff we've had. It's a small-ish restaurant/bar combo with a huge outdoor patio. The decor is modern seafood restaurant decor, no silly fish heads or fish nets overhead. No fishy smells either.
