23 Best Seafood Restaurants in Gloucester

“Great lunch and drinks on the water!!!“

“Loved it we went on a Sunday night they had some live music sat at the bar The food was excellent it was our first visit about tinder was first class The service was great with other servers serving food really neat oven area where you can sit and watch the kitchen we just moved to Gloucester a year ago and had yet been will be back“

“I love the atmosphere, staff are friendly and the food is amazing! The only thing I wish would change is I feel like Seaport Grille should take reservations because it would be easier knowing I wouldn’t have to wait an hour. I will always love Seaport Grille!“

“Great restaurant with a gorgeous view of the Annisquam river. Fabulous service but limited menu focused on tuna and other seafood. We had seared scallops and roasted duck breast as entrees and topped it off with delicious tiramusu. The menu is somewhat eclectic and pricey, but the location charm compensates for that!“

“I had the fishermen’s platter, wife had lobster carbonara, after starting with bang bang calamari. Food and service was both phenomenal!“

“Our new favorite vacation restaurant!! Delicious food and drinks and excellent service!“

“Had a ladies night with my girls tonight and we had the best time! 3 of us are bartenders from another North Shore dive bar and this place was our jam. The staff were all so delightful! Both the inside bartenders and the one outside bartender took a picture for us (how annoying are we!?) and didn’t bat an eye and the food was perfection. Drinks were on point. We all can’t wait to go back. Run to this place, especially if the weather is nice. You will not regret it.“

“The fresh whole belly clams, and breading, are delicious, just outstanding. I just love Ipswich clams, but, alas, I live in Ohio. So, the solution is to have these great people ship fresh, shucked clams to me, packed on ice. I followed their recipe, and had some delicious fried clams. It is a little bit pricey, but there is no wastage (because the shells are removed before shipping), and it is worth the price because the clams are so tasty. Clams are also loaded with vitamins and minerals and protein, and are not at all fatty (the oil in which we fry the clams is fatty). They are just wonderful, either fried or steamed (saute some garlic in olive oil; put the clams in; stir; add white wine; steam a short time until cooked; savor the delicious clams.
I will buy their clams again, perhaps even often.“

“The Salt Water Grille is NOT closed now. We just had lunch there and it was magnificent. We had seafood over penne and a lobster roll and they were perfect. LOTS of seafood was on the penne. Perfect amount of sauce (not to much nor too little). And the garlic bread was over the moon too. We will definitely be back.“

“Great food great portions. I’ve been going there for 50 years. I live in DC and I never miss a chance to go there when I’m in Gloucester I love the place.“

“Really unique spot. Craft beer and wine. Good small bites menu all located in a waterfront art gallery. We’ve been a couple times and everyone working there has been super friendly.“

“love the owner and we got our food fast and it was delicious. I've been going to the pilot house for years and will be back again!○○○○○“

“In a kind of iffy neighborhood, you notice a clean sidewalk and windows; it says good things about a restaurant. On walking in, the kitchen is equally spotless. The staff is efficient and polite, the prices are good and the portions large. I got our food home still piping hot and it is delicious. What more can you ask?
