This spot never disappoints--watched the boats unload their catch for the day, looked at the playful seals and birds hanging close for scraps, and then dinner on the picnic tables. So very fresh and quicky, friendly service! read more

Sampled HALF of a lobster roll (ON A BRIOCHE HOT DOG BUN TOASTED AND BUN-BUTTERED TO PERFECTION), during our first stop on a Chatham food tour. No skimping on the protein, zero celery, light handed on the mayo and luxurious on the brioche, this was a lobster roll for the ages! I didn't go into the market but judging by my first bite of that lobster roll, the ambiance, ocean vibes, salty air - IM HOOKED! read more

3.5 Stars. Seafood round two! We got Buttered Lobster Rolls, Scallop Basket, Clam Chowder, Clam Fritter, and Whole Belly Clam Basket. The Buttered Lobster Roll was tasty, though for subsequent orders we'll definitely order the cold mayo version. Also, the lettuce made the bottom of the lobster roll soggy and somewhat unappetizing. The Scallop Basket was easily my favorite item out of the meal: huge, tender scallops with a crispy crust. Both the Clam Chowder and Clam Fritter were pretty solid. The Whole Belly Clam Basket was falafel-esque balls of clam that had far too much dough compared to clam, disappointing read more

Incredible!! This is a must stop place if you're in Chatham. We split a lobster roll and clam chowder. The lobster roll came with fries that were so good too. This was hands down the best clam chowder we had while in Boston and on the Cape. Can't wait to go back! read more

Had many lobster rolls on Cape Cod. This one is most generous with huge chunks of claw and tail meat. Tasted really fresh. And who doesn't enjoy chomping on the roll while watching the local fishermen unload their daily catch from an upper viewing deck at the pier. Been doing this since I was a kid. Never disappoints. Be patient parking your vehicle. It can be a challenge during the summer. read more

The best lobster roll I've ever had. 6oz of meat for $39 - a great deal! The largest lobster roll I found on the cape. Served with fries & coleslaw too. Order inside, pickup outside. Nowhere to sit inside, but some benches outside. It gets busy. read more

Really cool setting by the fish docks. You can watch the fisherman come in and unload their catch while the seals swim around the docks. Parking is very limited and the spaces are extremely tiny. The fish market restaurant is no-frills, and limited picnic table seating outside. I had the lobster melt with fries and coleslaw. Really good sandwich and I would recommend it. Lots of menu options. Service was quick and adequate. read more

One of the best lobster rolls I've ever had! The lobster was super fresh with a natural sweetness, and the mayo was just right, present but not overpowering. The brioche bun? Toasted to absolute perfection. I also got the clam chowder. It was lighter and less creamy than what I'm used to, but still so flavorful that I enjoyed every bite. We sat outside at the picnic tables and took a stroll on the pier afterward. honestly, the perfect evening. Can't wait to come back! read more

I ordered the scallops with onion rings and coleslaw... AMAZING! By far the best scallops I've ever had (including The Squire). The were very lightly breaded and cooked to perfection. The tarter has a really fresh flavor with a bit of dill I think. I love that it came with fresh lemon to enhance the natural flavors of the fresh scallops. The coleslaw was fresh, cold and delicious. We sat at a picnic table watching the boats come in to deliver fresh fish off the docks. Highly recommend! I ate it up so fast I forgot to take a picture but very generous portion... read more

The best lobster roll I had while in Cape Cod--and I tried many! The one at Chatham Pier Fish Market was hands down the winner. It was about $45 with tip, but the portion was huge, the lobster was super fresh, and it came with really good fries. Honestly, you could easily split it between two people and still be full. There are picnic benches outside to sit and eat, which adds to the casual, seaside vibe. It does get crowded quickly, though, so you may have to scout around a bit to find a spot. The staff was very nice, and the location is awesome--you can walk right over to the pier, see seals swimming, and watch fishing boats coming and going, which made the whole experience even more memorable. If you're in Chatham, this place is a must-visit. I'd go back in a heartbeat! read more

We stopped here halfway through our ride down the bike route and loop in Chatham. It's a fish market and restaurant right by the pier where you can watch the fishermen unload their catch as well as seals swimming around hoping for a fish! There's not a ton of seating for a busy place, some picnic tables scattered around as long as the weather is good. There are a couple benches up on the pier viewing platform that you could sit on and eat. There is an elevator to get up to the platform if you're unable to do stairs which is great. Ok, onto the food. Whooooa this has to be the best lobster roll on the cape. It must be close to 1/2lb of huge, succulent chunks of claw and knuckle meat. The cold roll is ever so lightly dressed in mayo, with a layer of lettuce on the bottom. It does add a nice refreshing crunch. Honestly I'm kicking myself a little for not getting the hot buttered roll because I bet it's mind blowing. Next time! The roll comes with fries and really good mustardy coleslaw. It was $38 in June 25, and if you know the average price of a lobster roll you'll understand this is a killer deal especially for an enormous roll. My husband got a seared tuna sandwich that was also amazing. Beautiful fresh tuna cooked rare on a fresh brioche bun with pickled onions, lettuce, and mayo. He loved it! They're also a fabulous fish market. We brought a cooler with us so we bought some striped bass to cook for dinner and it was wonderful. This is a great stop along the bike route, or just to enjoy a meal in the saltwater ambiance. read more

Yum yum yum. Excellent lobster rolls, steamers, clam chowder, fried scallops, fish. Outside tables only so plan ahead and expect to wait at this very popular place. read more

The best spot for shellfish in the area! Is lobster expensive?! Yes but this spot cuts out the middlemen and fine dining and you get great seafood for a great price in a very authentic atmosphere (what could be more authentic than an actual pier?!) Great for takeout and you can order online and avoid the wait. I love their lobster rolls and they also have kids meals for kids who...may refuse the seafood. However... parking can be almost impossible on busy summer nights. Plan accordingly. read more

LOBSTER MELT HEAVEN Chatham Pier Fish Market (45 Barcliff Ave, Chatham, MA 02633) is THE place to be when you're craving fresh Cape Cod seafood. The lobster melts here are NEXT LEVEL --ooey gooey deliciousness, packed with lobster meat, and best of all... dipped in lobster bisque. Yes, you heard that right. The most elite move? Order fries and dip those in the bisque too. Unreal. Don't skip the shrimp either --it's tender, flavorful, and seriously addicting. They don't skimp on the lobster and you can even grab fresh fish to take home! I've heard in the summer you can see seals chilling by the docks! Just another reason this is a 10/10 must-visit spot. Counting down the days 'til I'm back on the Cape! read more

Wow food was amazing!! We tried the lobster bisque and the lobster melt. Both were amazing. Price was decent value for the portions. They did not skimp on the lobster Service was good!

For some of my group, this was their favorite lobster of the trip. Once you get over the sticker shock, it's pretty good. My roll has some chunky pieces that were not tender enough to eat. Coleslaw is nothing to write home about and fries are not fresh cut. It was okay for me. read more

Good seafood, good service and good location. Right at the pier. Every year when we return from FL I can't wait until they open up. read more

Super fresh, delicious seafood, with a bonus of watching the fishermen come in with their haul and some seals if you're lucky. That said, when it gets really hot out, they don't have much seating in the shade - some tables by the side of the restaurant and some benches up the steps on the pier. That's it. I'd recommend taking the food to go if you're not feeling up for baking in the sun as you tuck into the food. We ordered the seared scallops salad (say that 3x fast) and the grilled salmon burger, the latter of which was a panic order where I changed my mind at the last minute, latched onto something randomly, and then regretted it as soon as I ordered it. But the salmon burger was actually my favorite of the dishes we tried - super flaky and juicy, with no pungent fishy aftertaste. With the lettuce and sauce, it tasted like a fancier, better McDonalds filet-o-fish. The burger came with a side of cole slaw and a generous heap of the most delicious fries I've had in a while. They tasted double fried, with a beautiful golden batter and a crispy outer shell. Next time, I'll try the lobster melt and the shrimp roll. The menu had so many great options. We came on a super busy weekend afternoon and got our food relatively quickly (about 10-15 minutes). read more

Visited Chatham for a day and stopped here for lunch. The walk from Main Street was about 20 minutes. The buttered lobster roll was market price on the menu which came out to be $39 not including tax. It came with a side of fries and coleslaw. It was reasonably priced considering how much lobster they give you. However there is limited seating outside the restaurant so I would get a table first if you can! read more

This place definitely lives up to the hype. The food was delicious. I got the fried clam strips and my wife got the crab cake. We shared a clam chowder which was filled with a lot of clams. The service was pretty quick and went smoothly. Not much seating in the area but everyone was kind enough to share their table with strangers. Everyone was there for just good food. The biggest negative is the parking lot. We got very lucky but parking is very difficult here. read more

Prices are high, obvious tourist place, but apart from that... the place has no excuses because the salmon burger (farm fish) just why? Anyways back to the review, the swordfish Sandwich is bomb, good portion! The aji Tuna Sandwich is delicious, chowder and crackers very good! Service excellent. Ambiance is just ok... eat outside. Tarter sauce & slaw needs more love, when you have this prices I will expect better, but one's again... some tourist place they just want the money... some of us, we want better not just average med... will I come back? Maybe... DM me for more info. read more

Wonderful location on the Pier with a wide variety of seafood! Got some cocktail shrimp and cooked lobster to munch on with a side of fries.

Fresh. Scenic. Not cheap. But fresh! For the prepped food, you order outside the shack. For fish you plan to cook, go inside. Very popular and busy. Hard to get a parking spot.

Situated right on a pier, this little fish market is the place to be! We stopped in for some lunch and it definitely hit the spot. There's a lot of parking available, but it gets very crowded in the summer especially during rush hours, so keep that in mind if you're driving over. We were lucky enough to find a spot along the road to leave our car at. The ordering process is a bit confusing, but luckily another customer pointed us towards the inside of the building. We ordered a clam strips basket and a swordfish sandwich, which took about 5-10 minutes to come out. Unfortunately there are very limited tables to eat at, so we had to eat in the car. The food here is very tasty! The swordfish sandwich was definitely the highlight, as well as the fries that had a perfectly crispy exterior. The coleslaw and tartar sauce were also perfect. The clam strips were a bit hit or miss for us, as some of them were tender and others were a bit more rubbery. Either way, the portions here were insane and could easily feed multiple people. read more

The freshest seafood I've ever had, my husband loooved the clam strips! We came here twice during our visit to Cape Cod.

THE LOBSTER ROLLS!! Enough said lol! In all seriousness this is probably the best lobster roll I've had. It was so worth the price and had huge chunks of fresh lobster. I got the warm butter version and my mom had the cold with mayo. Both were next level! The lobster rolls come with fries and coleslaw and we enjoyed the sides as well. Only negative is there are just a few picnic tables, so not a lot of seating. But the atmosphere is really beautiful and you can even see some seals in the water, especially at low tide! read more

The Quick: The tail of two roles... cold lobster roll 5/5 while the cold lobster roll was 3/5. The fries were a solid 5/5. The Details: such a different experience depending on the lobster roll. We went two days in a row (and once last year). The verdict- the cold lobster roll so tasty, fresh, and great portion. The hot lobster roll 3/5 (being generous) wildly overcooked, bland, no flavor, and the bun disintegrated (I guess from the butter?) Even though we ate right there. Super cool walking down the dock and seeing massive seals while you wait. They're pretty quick too! The Damage: market price which we found very expensive compared to Maine, but we'll still return (for a cold roll only) read more

Best fried clam strips on the planet! I have tried dozens of places on the East Coast over the years to find the best--and it's no contest. Lightly breaded, crispy, and delicious.
