16 Best Seafood Restaurants near Wiscasset

“By far our favorite restaurant in the Midcoast area. Always delicious food and great service. If you need gluten free options this is the place.“

“All the small plates were delicious morsels. Beautiful spot on the river! Lovely for a party.“

“Let me put the cart before the horse and tell you this was one of the best, if not the best, experiences I have had at a restaurant. Corrinna was lovely. She took time to explain to this uninitiated wine consumer the differences between wines, glasses, and tasting, as well as pairing with foods. Speaking of food, this was also splendid. We started with oysters, which was a first, calamari, pork belly, arancini, and focaccia that melted in your mouth. My main course was the Swordfish with sweet potato puree, fingerling, and swordfish "bacon" jam. This is a silent gem that I selfishly stays quiet for my purposes, but Back River Bistro needs to be visited by anyone who loves a small curated dining experience. Much success to Matt & Corrinna. It is much deserved.“

“Good food, great steamers. But the bees wow. I literally bought a soda just to try to deter the lovely 5 we had away from our table. Didn’t really work, so we ate in the car. Idk what they can do about that situation, but yeah. Can’t really enjoy it and I wanted to“

“They always have some of the best fried food around, especially the onion rings!!!
The scallops portion seemed a little small at first, but the cook noticed the same and brought out a few more, which made me feel they cared about their food and customers. I stop here every year after Monkey C, and you should too!
The crab roll is also good 👍“

“Our first time although we have heard about all the amazingness of Red’s. We cannot rave about this place enough. The owner Debbie is so personable & kind with a huge smile that is contagious! Chef Shannon is a perfect pair to Debbie. Everything on this menu is fresh daily, dips & sauces made on the premises & you won’t find a lobster roll like you will get at Red’s. It’s a true family based establishment 🦞Together this is a MUST visit. There is a continual line & often a wait but it is worth every second in line.“

“The nicest folks own and work here, I always feel welcome. Lobster is cooked to perfection as are the steamers and they come out steaming hot. The place is very clean. Prices are reasonable.“

“This place is the bomb! Tucked into a small lot in the middle of town, this place has limited hours and only three items on the menu: Haddock Sandwich, Haddock in a Bowl and French Fries. All of it is superb.
The haddock is fried and about as fresh as it could be. You have a choice of tartare sauce and lemon dill sauce. Ask for both. We didn't have the fries, and it's a good thing because we were stuffed just from the sandwiches. The servings are massive! There was about a half pound plus of haddock on each sandwich.
Next time I think we'll split a bowl and some fries (which also looked like a huge portion), and call it good.
The staff is friendly and speedy - guess you have to be if you're only open 3 hours a day.
It doesn't get any better than this!“

“We come back every summer! This is the ONLY place I will get a lobster roll! Hubby always gets the Big Sexy (crab roll with bacon, trust me it's amazing) love the people here and love the food!!!!“

“We took our mom here today for her birthday! It was all of our first times going! Lobster rolls were amazing and the blueberry lemonade is a must🤩🤩 Wyatt took great care of us, service was amazing! Can’t wait to go back!“
