Lobster Roll with fries and Cole slaw
Laura H.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Beautiful setting very close to Wells Harbor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was casual and nice to sit indoors in the AC after a short wait.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The wait staff was friendly and helpful. The setup out back for the lobster boil ($75 pp) looked like fun!! Lobster roll was okay. Fried clams were better. If I went back, I'd skip lobster and go with the fried food.

A view from our seat. Notice the adorable hanging lobster paper towel holders.

Off the beaten path and we loved it! Having come to this area for years, we have our favorite stops. We try to visit them all, but this trip was different. One of our favorite stops had closed due to seasonal hours, so we decided to hit some other locals places. We were thrilled when we found the Fisherman's Catch last year and decided to go back again this year. We were seated right away and served not too long after. The staff is friendly and attentive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The upscale shack-like atmosphere is on point.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We love their lobster paper towel holders that are suspended from the ceiling.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I can say that the seating inside is comfortable but I have not been able to try the outdoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] So far we have tried the scallops, clam strips, fish sandwich, clam chowder, the fries, the coleslaw, and I'm sure I've forgotten something else. We have been very pleased with everything. When visiting in-season, it's best to get to the restaurant before 5pm. Parking fills up and the line can get long. In late October or early November it is much easier to get a table. Try this place once and I can guarantee you'll be planning a return trip.

The perfect stop to start our Maine vacation! Started off with a local favorite, Maine lunch IPA... I shared the captains feast .. a super large portion of fried scallops, haddock, shrimp and clams over French fried ... whoa this was a massive amount! Tried some of their lobsters, sweet and delicious! Service was fast and polite! ,

First, thank you for staying open into the off season!! I just happened across Fisherman's Catch and what a treat it was. I had the whole lobster (1.25lbs) and fried whole belly clams. The meal was absolutely delicious. The service and people were super nice, that includes the server Ani and the kitchen staff. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant and bathrooms were clean and fresh.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm excited to return here some day. What a great meal.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Despite being off Route 1 in Wells the location is picturesque and quiet due to it being on a dead end road, with just a marina past it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Looks like it's been around for decades and like a Maine seafood shack, rather than a chain restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Menu has expected Maine/New England types of chowder and seafood. Service was quick and friendly. Food was generous and well prepared. Not a fancy atmosphere, but good value food and a quiet, scenic view to go with it

Cheeseburger Platter split in half.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]It is what it is: a funky Seafood joint on the seashore. Way casual with picnic tables indoors and out; plastic utensils and plastic glasses.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But, remember, you're going for the food. It's outstanding. Today we had the Calamari. It was fresh, moist, and tender. Served with Marinara, or you can choose tartar sauce. We surprised ourselves with how good the cheeseburger was. Had to try it, as it was National Beef Burger Day. Tasty, properly cooked. Fries excellent. Our server, Olivia, had a bright, cheerful personality. Prices a little high for a beach joint. Still it's a superb example of one. In Wells you gotta try it.

Thanks to the amazing Yelp community a recent visit had me pick this place to eat. The place was packed at 1:30 in the afternoon almost didn't find a place to park. We opted to sit outside but inside was full. Our waitress Susan M was a ball of energy. We asked for her recommendation and she knew the menu very well and took the time to describe different menu items. My friend and I (at her suggestion) ordered the fisherman's platter scallops, shrimp, clam strips (also a clam belly option) and haddock. It came with Cole slaw and fries. We also each had a fountain drink which was refilled. The scallops were the best I ever had in my life and I have had them right off the boat. The just melted like butter in my mouth. The haddock was also a winner. The shrimp and clams were good. There was a lot for two people . Everything was hot and very fresh even the roll. There was enough leftover for another meal. Market priced I figured would be pricey but the goal bill was 45.00. They split are bill with no problem. Susan also recommended the bread pudding but we were too full that day. Next time. Also had shirts and souvenirs for sale.

Great spot for classic Maine seafood with a fun, laid-back vibe. I had the lobster roll--packed with fresh, sweet lobster meat and just the right amount of dressing. Definitely hit the spot. I also tried the vodka blueberry lemonade, and it was so refreshing. Perfect drink for a summer day by the water. The outdoor seating was a nice bonus, giving it that true coastal Maine feel. Service was friendly and quick, and the menu had plenty of options if you're craving more than just lobster. Prices are what you'd expect for a good seafood place in Maine--worth it for the quality. Overall, a great stop and one I'd definitely come back to!

Smallest lobster roll I've ever had at normal mkt price. Walked out more hungry than when I walked in.
