love this family run business - fish is amazing and all the wonderful other goodies as well!

Lovely service! Perfect lobster roll! What a nice surprise to have found while driving by

I summer in Cataumet and have been coming to this market for years. I've always been pleased with the quality and prices. I had noticed that after it changed hands a couple years back, it hasn't quite been the same. I still shop here regularly and will continue to. However, I just tried the lobster roll for the first time and was absolutely shocked at how small it is for $32 dollars. Outrageous for a fish market. The $11.00 roll at "Jack in the bean stock" Falmouth is bigger and tastier, and they also grill the roll. Seafood Shanty on the canal, $30.00 and is amazing and so big you can barely finish it, it also comes with a pile of delicious fries. Very disappointing CM read more

Fresh, fresh it's all about the food and freshness! Call ahead place your order . Enjoy the local catch

We buy fish 2 or 3 times a week at Cataumet Fish because the fish is always great, the people like Pat and Dylan are friendly, and we like supporting local businesses. Pat and his wife did a fabulous job transitioning to a new store format after taking over the business. BTW I helped former owner Pete Fisher repair the big white flagpole out front that broke at the base 2 years ago. She still stands proud! read more

Bought scallops @ $49/lb. Nothing special about them, just scallops. I buy scallops in Falmouth @ $40/lb. I won't be back, read more

The BEST lobster roll anywhere, and I mean anywhere. I have tried lobster rolls all over the East coast and never compared. Lots of claw meat, perfect mayo ratio and a hint of pepper make it top notch. Just meat and a bun, no BS, no lettuce, no buttered roll to mask the taste etc. I look forward to this lobster roll every summer!! read more

Cataumet Fish - Lobster roll - Seafood Markets Near Me - Cataumet, Massachusetts

My family have been customers for probably close to 40 years. Best fish market that I know. Great variety of quality seafood. Also replete with all the necessary spices and accompaniments Clean, easily accessed store with great service. When we're on cape, we're there multiple times a week. Highly recommended if you're in the area. PS Great lobster roll, clam chowder, and stuffed quahog, if you're into those things read more

Kind of a hidden GEM. The freshest quality seafood at realist prices. If I don't catch it myself I buy it at Cataumet Fish Best Lobster Roll on the upper Cape read more

Best lobster roll, guaranteed. This place sells fish to be cooked at home and their only already prepared dish is the lobster roll, and for $13/$14, it is AMAZING. A LOT of lobster, not as much mayonnaise as every other place. It is very fresh and you definitely get more than enough lobster for your money. My father is visiting the cape next week and this will be our 1st stop to show off the seafood the cape can offer! read more

Cataumet Fish - Best lobster roll in town! - Seafood Markets Near Me - Cataumet, Massachusetts

Stopped by for some lobster rolls. They were big and reasonably priced - lots of big chunks of lobster. But what's with all the pepper? Way too much. And I like pepper. Hope it was a mistake as they were good otherwise. read more

Holy fresh-off-the-ship fish, Batman! This place is the real deal stocked full of the freshest fish I've seen in a long, long time. Good enough for sushi, I was told. Easily good enough for searing which is more than most people do anyways. This fish market earns my admiration for a serious dedication to the art of selling only the freshest and best to their customers. But the real treat here is the lobster roll, which ranks among the best I have ever tasted. A lobster roll shouldn't be a fancy affair, if it is ur doin it wrong. $13 earns you a small bag of Cape Code potato chips with a hot dog bun improbably stuffed with a half pound of lobster meat. This isn't some dressed up "lobster salad" nonsense to cover up old or frozen meat, this is the real deal with only the slightest hint of mayonnaise to go with the sweet taste of very fresh lobster. The lobster roll as it should be: fresh, simple, unassuming. It goes without saying, but I've seen too many people get fooled: You should make it a rule never to have a lobster roll at a place that doesn't have any live lobster on the premises (look for the tank). With the recent burning down of James Hook & Co, I wish I could find a tasty Lobster roll with this level of simple freshness in Boston. read more

Great local little fish market. Been going here for years. Only get our scallops here- won't go anywhere else! Tried their lobster roll today: it's no Chartroom but for the price it's really good! On a soft chewy Portuguese hot dog bun that could only be improved if it was buttered & toasted. If you're just craving a quick & easy, small, affordable but daggone tasty lobster roll hit them up! Not to mention all the great fish and seafood you can buy and take home and cook! read more

Excellent fresh fish market. They have a good range of different kinds of seafood and the price is reasonable considering the high quality and how fresh everything is. I highly recommend this place. read more

Cataumet Fish - Best fish market around - Seafood Markets Near Me - Cataumet, Massachusetts

See all

Wow.....I have never seen a place consistently decline in quality as this place over the last 20 years. It just gets worse and worse year after year. The fish is so old and of poor quality, that it now resembles the horrid supermarket fish quality. Go to the Clam Man, or Falmouth Fish Market in Falmouth and see and taste what fresh fish is supposed to look and taste like. The few times a year that I have to go to Cataumet because I can't make it into town in time, I cringe at the old fish that he is selling. Then you put all that time into cooking a nice dish, and it still tastes horrible because the quality of the fish that you started with was so poor. Stay away!!! read more

I always get my seafood here and have never regretted it. 10 lbs. of little neck clams on the grill- check. Amazingly huge cuts of fresh swordfish- check. Tuna cut to order- check. They even have the spices to make an amazing lemon pepper swordfish right there. We just finished the bachelor party and got 2 lbs. of lobster meat... needless to say that was amazing and a big hit. I'll keep going here forever. read more

I was disappointed when I pulled up and saw steps into this place - not wheelchair friendly. I wanted to pick our my own lobsters, so my friend pulled me up the steps. The place was empty (a Friday afternoon in February). We got our lobsters and some cooked shrimp and cocktail sauce. The lobsters we cooked that night, the shrimp we ate the next day, both were excellent. This place is not a bargain, but it does have highly quality seafood. The two young guys working said that it gets CRAZY in the summers, lines out the door, etc etc. I love the Cape off season. :) read more

I'm a local who has been buying my fish from Cataumet Fish for many years. We hosted a destination wedding last weekend. Peter Fisher was more than accommodating. He supplied 300 oysters on Thursday ad 60 cooked lobsters on Friday. Everything was superb. The oyster-shuckers were sure there were more than the 300 oysters requested. The large quantity of lobsters were cooked perfectly right down to the last one that was served because the the efficient way they packed them. THANK YOU Cataumet Fish - from the the bride and groom, parents, and many out-of-town Southern foodies! read more

Always fresh off the boat and always realiably good. Prices are competitive. The owner and the help will give you the inside scoop and the best service!! But after 15 years, I have yet to win the "Megafish Lottery" and win the 6 free lobsters! read more

Great fish monger So clean Has that Good fresh fish smellmakes you hungry for Very good chowder read more

By far one of the best places to buy seafood on the cape. My family has been coming here for years and this shop is truly something special. Everything from the fantastic customer service to the high quality of fish to the wide selection of offerings makes this place a local gem. If you're in Falmouth or even on the highway near the exit, I highly recommend picking up your seafood here! read more

Live in the area and have been going there for years, usually several times a week. Freshest seafood, best selection, and knowledgeable and friendly staff. By far the best in the area. read more

I have been there several times. The selection of fresh fish locally caught is impressive. The problem comes with the handling of raw product. The service people "all the time" handle the raw product with there bare hands. The "germ theory" was pretty much a done deal just after the American Civil War". Owner or (last resort) town health inspectors should do there job read more

We have been going to Cataumet Fish for many years and have yet to be disappointed. Good, fresh fish at reasonable prices. The staff is friendly and helpful. Cataumet is our first, second and third choices for buying fish on Cape Cod. read more
