My first time here and my last! Fish was not fresh, it was overbattered! The batter was crunchy on the outside and the dough like on the inside! Very very disappointing! Tartar sauce was great! This plate is going in the trash and I wish I didn't drive here.
This place doesn’t honor their hours, and they don’t value their customer’s time. If they did, they would follow their own business hours. They close extremely eearlier than they are supposed to, then claim it’s because it’s been a slow day. It’s happened multiple times, I guess close your business for good if you can’t see a reason to stay open.
First time here. Ordered the haddock plate which tasted and looked like cod not haddock. The fries are those coated ones that have no potato flavor and most were stuck together due to lack of shaking the basket during frying. Cole slaw was good. Not impressed.
I miss this place. Every time I come home I stop in. Amazing service and the best seafood you can get. Always fresh and man I wish I was back in Massachusetts instead of Spokane Washington. I need a lobster roll!! You will love this place.
Best place for seafood....and I have a shrimp allergy and the are very cautious about that...they used a different oil and made mine separate from the rest....thanks....I can enjoy seafood again ❤️
prices are way to high!
Freshest lobster in the area. Can't wait to come back and get the Fish fillets. We got the stuffed quahogs and lobster tonight. South of Boston's finest seafood.
The fish here is delicious. Never over or under cooked. We had fried scallops, stuffed quohog, crab cakes and the clam chowder was fantastic!
Well, It is a casual take-out place that fits the name. I ordered the Special of Swordfish and fries. I switched out for onion rings. I had the choice of baked or fried. I chose fried, but I did not expect swordfish to be battered and deep fried and fried like fish and chips, but more of a pan or grill fried. As a result, the fish turned out somewhat oily and mushy inside the batter. The batter just slogged off the fish when you stuck a fork in it. Maybe the fish was not the freshest and that's why it was part of the specials? Who knows. The onion rings had an good initial taste, but they too were greasy. After just a few bites, the oily, greasiness was to much. I don't think the oil was old because it didn't have that kind of taste. Maybe not hot enough? I don't know but it wasn't crispy. I've lived here all my life and I've never seen batter fried swordfish. Maybe, unlike Haddock or Cod, it doesn't lend itself to a battered frying. Pan frying might have been better. Anyway, I might try them one more time because they did have a few menu items that I wanted to try. The Fisherman Patter is the test, because you get a sample of everything. At $34 it should have a generous portion of each seafood item. I did not see one being prepared so I can't tell how it is. I ended up tossing the onion rings after just a few, and peeling of the batter off the fish. I feel bad that I couldn't give a better rating but just being honest.
Really loving their haddock nuggets lately. Not a big fan of their fries but onion rings are delicious.

Tried these guys on a whim while in the mood for some seafood. Best Clam Chowder I've ever had. For sure. With some really great crab cakes and fries to pair. Plus some good sauce and coleslaw. Really affordable and really delicious, me and my partner are DEFINITELY going back for more.
My cousin first introduced me to this place over a year ago the first time I tried it it was awesome she had a party at her house and seafood was the menu and I loved it so I asked her where did she get it from she told me so I have been going here for about a year now my last visit not so good bunch of young folks in the kitchen food doesn't look appetizing it was cold they were better than that before now! My fish was in pieces,fries were oily and soggy, Onion rings the same as fries and I could not identify the shrimp! I've had better food from them and bringing my daughter for the first time wasn't a good experience for her. As I had to apologize for the disgusting food! NOT SURE WHEN I WILL MAKE IT BACK THERE FOLKS!! ONCE UPON A TIME IT WAS WORTH THE RIDE!! I'M SO DISAPPOINTED! ☹️ STAFF IS AWESOME THE YOUNG LADIES ARE VERY NICE!! CUSTOMER SERVICE MEANS EVERYTHING TO ME EVEN BEFORE I ORDER! IF I GET ATTITUDES I WILL NOT ORDER FOOD THERE! "GOOD HELP IS HARD TO FIND"
Great fresh seafood! Loved onions rings so fresh and crisp? Reminds me of the Cape! Friendly and helpful staff. Reasonably priced.
