If you want fresh seafood this is the place! Best lobster we have had in FL. Lobster and other items are flown in from NE and being from NE, we know great seafood. Have never been disappointed in all our visits there. We have taken many other couples with us from time to time and everyone wants to go back.

Excellent food and friendly atmosphere. I had the lobster roll with the classic bun and melted butter dressing and it was exactly like something I had when we visited Maine a few years back. My wife had the blackened grouper sandwich which was very delicious too! We met the owner Kelley who was vey pleasant and generous. We will definitely be back for more and we will definitely recommend it to our friends here in Bradenton, FL!

Next level. Absolutely loaded with lobster. We had 1 Connecticut and 1 New England and both were just divine. Also picked up some fresh shrimp, crab cakes, and stone crab. The attendant was the nicest guy we’ve met all week. Absolute treat, so happy we decided to try! Thank you!

I want to start by saying the guys in there are the nicest and, let’s be real, probably the best looking seafood experts in town. Now that we’ve established that, let’s talk about this warm lobster roll. Absolutely unreal. Buttery, perfectly toasted bun, loaded with fresh, juicy lobster that made me question every other lobster roll I’ve ever had. It was so good I briefly considered moving to Maine until I remembered I can just keep coming here instead. But let’s be honest, as incredible as the food is, the service is what makes this place next level. Friendly, welcoming, and you can tell they truly care about what they do. If you haven’t been yet, you’re missing out. If you have been, well, you’re probably already planning your next visit. 10/10, would eat here every day if I could.

Such a great find!! We got the recommendation off a Tik Toc video and I am so happy we made the stop. The lobster rolls were huge and delicious. The meat was fresh and savory. We ordered hush puppies and they were some of the best we gave had! We also ordered lobster tacos which was a fresh take on something classic. We give this a 10 out of 10!!

Miss that Northern Feel ? Do you crave Lobster Rolls ( the real kind ) Massive Chunks to satisfy anyones need for fresh delicious seafood. So i got the giant lobster roll ( like a double ) and I love the option to split the styles - of course i had the cold mayo side and then the Hot butter lobster side. Did I have a preference? Yes. They were both OUTSTANDING representations of what a real Lobster roll needs to be. My husband had the fried Cod and fries with coleslaw. Omg !! Light, flakes and unbelievable flavor and the batter only highlights the fish. We are picky about sides- and let me tell you the coleslaw and the potato salad are STARS- all on their own. We also loved the vibe of this fish market and all the options they have. This is a FAMILY PLACE you can feel the LOVE and Taste the passion put into make you smile while you eat. so , cost is anywhere from approx 20 for the fish meal and the giant lobster roll ( well its a fair market price) . What i really love is they offer it for anyone's budget. But if you want to just make your own dinner and need seafood - come into their shop you won't be sorry.

Wife and I were in for sons soccer tournament. Wanted to try a lobster roll and glad we stopped here for lunch !! It was so good we had to come back again for lunch before we caught our flight back home . Food was amazing , menu has plenty of selection to choose from. Recommend the giant lobster roll 1/2 cold 1/2 warm, Hush puppies, Grouper tacos and cod fish basket were delicious. Kelly the owner took care of us. We will be back !!! Thank you for the excellent service !!

The seafood are truly fresh. Love their cod basket and shrimp basket. The clam chowder is very good but I just like it when it’s a little thicker. So many other menu we would like to try next time. It probably won’t be long when they have their own sit in restaurant.
