Joe Fish Seafood Restaurant

To cramped for my liking. Food is alright nothing to pine over. Cute place for a Lil lobster roll date. I personally wouldnt bring a full family with kids here.

Food is great, dining in probably a better experience. I've ordered takeout twice. The first time they forgot one of my sides, the second time they didn't provide the proper condiments for items ordered. I ordered a side of fried clams, no tartar sauce. Wings no dipping sauce, food was delicious

Food prices for the amount of food is not worth it. $60.00 for a 1 1/2 lb lobster is insane! I couldn’t do it, this is New England and lobster doesn’t cost that much right now!

Ended up ordering the mussels appetizer, which was good and steak tips. For $29.00 I got 3 tips. Although they were good $10.00 per tip is a little out of control.

Waitress was nice but the kitchen took a long time.

My husband and I went here for our first meal on 10/10/25 after flying into Boston for the weekend to visit Salem for Halloween. We were so excited and ordered the mussels, steamers, a bowl of clam chowder to share and each got a small lobster roll. Everything was good and we were both happy with our meal but sadly that happiness didn’t last very long. A few hours after we got back to our hotel, we both had severe food poisoning. I had it worse than him because I ate more and didn’t order alcohol. Maybe his cocktail helped kill some of the stomach bugs? Jokes aside, trust me when I say I’ve never been this sick in my entire life! I’ve traveled to 42 countries, tried a lot of food and never once got sick or food poisoning… but this time, I was in so much pain that I honestly thought I was going to die. Everything came out… followed by a fever and stomach cramps for the next 24 hours. I was so unwell and couldn’t eat anything the next day. The sad part is, we didn’t even get to visit Salem which was the whole purpose of the trip. I’m not sure if the seafood was mishandled by the workers since we arrived 1.5 hours before closing or if it was simply just bad luck and we got a bad batch of seafood served to us… but either way, after spending almost $200 on a meal and being sick for 24+ hours without leaving the hotel room, this is something I hope to never experience again.

The Service was very slow although the restaurant was not busy...absolutely overpriced for the portions

They have a absolutely unbelievable 1 pound lobster roll. You're lucky if you can finish it. Only place around that has a lobster Roll this large.

An ok restaurant, a variety of seafood and non seafood choices, the clam chowdah is ok, needs more seafood in it, kind of skimpy.

The Jambalaya was alright, too watery and way too salty!! Presentation was lacking a bit too.

The starters were good, we were a large group and order a variety of options like the lobster dip, focaccia, calamari and onion rings.

Good food & nice atmosphere! I’d come back. We had the small Lobster Roll and Fish & Chips. Both were yummy, good portions and well-presented. Atmosphere was nice too! Feels like an oceanside restaurant, just without the water. Nautical decor with beachy reggae-style music. (Small lobster roll was $36 today 9/11/25, which is typical.)

Overall great experience and food. Went for the half price lobster roll after 8pm before the end of the summer.
The spicy version of thier calamari was really especially biting into fried jalapeño and peppers. I do wish they served sauce on the side as it was missing that element.
The crab cake was good with tons of crab meat in the patty.
Lobster rolls are a hit especially for half price. Tons of claw and knuckle meat.
