Lobster roll is made using butter, not mayo. Yay! The lobster is very tasty, chunk lobster. The portion fills the bun, but the bun is on the smallish side. The coleslaw is a small portion of coarse chop and not-creamy variety - my favorite. The bun is a significant miss. It is nothing special. Service is good - order and pay at the register. The dining room is clean and not over-stuffed with tables and chairs. Parking is ample. This store used to be a butcher shop and there are a lot of unused refrigerated cases. Will I return? Perhaps. For SE Michigan, I am glad that I have the option. But if this business was located in the New England area, it would not thrive. read more

Best lobster roll around! My wife was raving about how fresh the meat was, big & chunky. My fish was delightful crisp with a panko style batter. Home made tartar sauce completed things well. The restaurant reminded me of a fish market up North, with a few tables added for eating. The owner prepared our meal and was pleased that we knew the Grateful Dead reference in the restaurant name. We are planning our next visit soon. Highly recommend! read more

Lost Sailor Fish & Gourmet - Fish & Chips with Cole Slaw and Lobster Roll - Seafood Markets Near Me - Sylvan Lake, Michigan

The person who greeted me was very nice and helpful. I ordered the lobster roll which came with chips and coleslaw. I ate in the shop and sat down and they brought it to me along with a cup of water. Everything was delicious. The only reason I didn't give a five star is because they allowed a very large dog into the restaurant and sitting with their owner inside the restaurant eating. The dog was not identified as a service dog. read more

Lobster roll is delicious!! Was transported to Maine right in my backyard! Amazing! read more

I'm glad I found the Lost Sailor. The lobster roll was excellent with the bread exceeding expectations. Both soups were great and so was the service. The ambiance is simple and sparse but it definitely feels like they are still making this new space their own. There are some minor things they could do to improve the perceived value of the food relative to pricing, but again - it's still pretty new and I am excited to see how it develops. The quality of the food speaks for itself and conveys a genuine passion for the craft. I will certainly be back. Welcome home, Lost Sailor! read more

12/18/2025, 5pm our neighbor treated us to dinner. Our first time here and the place was really clean, bright and inviting with ample seating. We all knew this place recently opened and we wish them the best of luck and many, many years of success. This particular evening only the Helmsman at the wheel so it was a bit of a wait to take our order. David was kind and friendly and we could tell he really puts his heart into his business. I opted for fish & chips and my two mates chose the lobster roll with coleslaw and a bag of chips. We all enjoyed our dinner and the portions were copious, hot and flavorful. My 3 pieces of cod were simply the best! Around 5:50pm another team member arrived to takeover the front counter. We left around 6:30pm and the tables were filling up with more people arriving. I do recommend you stop in and give these folks a try, just be kind, patient and happy for any new business as they navigate thru the opening up process. When/if the owner stops by your table and ask how things are give them your honest feedback. read more

I stop by on Saturday based on the reviews , I order the lobster roll. It was tasty it came with a small Cole slaw and small bag of chips. It was more on the pricey side $25. Overall the roll was tasty, I only wish it was warm. read more

Great food, and reasonable prices. Eat in or carry-out. Dave and his staff are very friendly. Check them out.

Can't believe the ratings. Went for the lobster grilled cheese on Texas toast, as seen in their menu. No Texas Toast, it came on a hamburger bun. No tomato soup, for dipping. The expensive Clam Chowder was served ice cold. The lesson here is, always be skeptical of a place that wants you to pay first, BEFORE you get your food. They wouldn't try to pull this cap, if I hadn't payed BEFORE being served. Again, they have GOT to be doing all their reviews, themselves.They won't be in business long!. read more

Ordered take out. Fish and chips was great with amazing tartar sauce. Crab cakes was delicious and full of crab- no fillers. Really tasty lobster roll. Definitely will go back. read more

What a blessing this restaurant is for us who live in the area. My neighbor kept raving to me about their offerings so after three "best fish I ever ate" I had to try it. He was right. Worth every penny. I live only two miles away so this will be my only "to go" restaurant I will use in the future. read more

Absolutely the BEST salmon I have purchased. I ordered salmon to prepare for Christmas Eve and it was fresh, packaged on ice and made my meal extra special. I will be back. It's worth the price, you can't beat the quality or the customer service here. read more

Best lobster roll around. Catch the soft shell crab sando when it's in season! Ridiculous good! Fish & chips is a no brainer also. Fantastic

This place is great, service was very friendly I got the Fish & Chips you get 3 generous portions of Cod with Fries & Coleslaw it was fresh & delicious will definitely be going back. read more

Great lobster roll and fish and chips fresh cut and served. Like to try next mussels and pork chops looked great

Excellent! I ordered the crab bisque and the lobster roll. Both were delicious. The bun for the roll was also outstanding! All in all a great experience. I would just suggest that the owner use real dishes for in-house dining. If you like seafood, check this place out. read more

Amazing everything! So glad this is in the neighborhood! Have not found one thing I did not like. Everything is so fresh. It is a definite go-to place! read more

This is a hidden treat on Orchard Lake Road in Sylvan Lake across from Ellen's and The Dollar Store. Only in biz for 6 months and definitely worth a stop. The Lobster Roll was amazing. $25 for a heaping 1/4 pound scoop on a bun with chips and slaw. The fish and chips were amazing. Fresh cod loins in panko and freshly fried. Dave is the owner and a very friendly fellow. I will be carrying out my next fish meal here! read more

You like lobster? Just do yourself a favor. This is the best spot for lobster in Detroit. Fresh, buttery, no skimping on the portions. Just go. Just get in your car and go. Thank me later. read more

Always gourmet quality...as good as the finest seafood restaurants. Love the shrimp and chips and my husband loves the fish and chips. Everything I've tried has been excellent... lobster rolls , crab cakes, salmon patty sandwich, whitefish spread. Need to try the burger...it looks amazing. read more

The best lobster rolls I've ever had ( and that includes Massachusetts and Florida)! Fish and chips also excellent. I bought the steaks to grill at home and they were melt in your mouth filet mignons. I can't wait to try everything on their menu. If you want a delicious dinner at a reasonable price, this is the place to go. I would suggest carry out as the restaurant itself is small and informal - more of a casual lunch spot for dining in. They also have nice limited fresh fish market. Terrific place! read more

These Owners really are invested in pleasing the customer! They offer custom orders and specialized recipes since everything is made fresh! I absolutely appreciate their attention to the quality and natural sourcing of their product! The Delmonico steak I purchased was beyond excellent! I also love the ability to obtain fresh quality fish , seafood & Deli .You will not be disappointed in making this your go to Monger/ Meat Market read more

Wanted to try this place out after reading some great reviews. It was a little hike from Sterling Heights but decided that since it was still nice out, it would be a nice drive. There was one couple ahead of us ordering. After we put in our order, we saw that the four tables were full, so we chose to sit at the long bar along the front of the store. We had placed our order at 6:30. Not sure what took so long, but it was over 50 minutes before we received our food. Like my son indicated, though, it was well worth the wait. Our clam chowder was amazing, I loved the toasted bread that comes with it. My lobster roll with a side of cole slaw and chips was outstanding, on par with what I have eaten in Maine, but different in that it had butter and not sauce. My son had the cod and chips and declared that he has never had better. I have to agree, as others have indicated, that the prices are pretty steep relative to the amount of food that you get. I don't agree with one reviewer's statement that real dishes should be used for in-house dining, the vibe of this place doesn't really call for that. It would be nice, however, to have better napkins, or, at least, the ability to have another since the lobster roll gets messy. So, if you want some delicious seafood, this is the place to go. Just be prepared to spend a little time to get it and know that it will be well worth the wait. read more

So I asked a coworker to have lunch on our day off and I said pick a place. She insisted on lost sailor knowing I love seafood. Never been but always game for good seafood. It's a quirky little set up but quickly reminded me of the dive places I loved so much while living in Florida. The place with the real food that tourists don't go. Bingo! Here I was! Basically whatever is in the fish case to be sold raw can be cooked as well. Very cool. You can request how you'd like it cooked or just let the chef have at it. I recommend you let the chef drive the boat. He's fn amazing!!! I had the shrimp basket. And a single sautéed soft shell crab. Holy hell! The shrimp were huge! It came with fries, coleslaw, and cocktail sauce. The shrimp were meaty and sweet with a crispy lite panko breading. I wasn't hot on the fries. Think they could do better. Sauce had a nice kick. The soft shell crab??? Wow!!!! Lightly sautéed. Perfectly cooked. All the tasty juices intact with a slight crisp on the outside. Not easy to achieve. Most places over cook them. It came with a very pleasant Cajun/french remoulade sauce. Mayo mustardy capery just damn good sassy sauce. Yum. Loved it. They had fresh razor clams in the fish case. What a rare treat. As well as some nice looking salmon. I didn't ask for it but chef Jonathon whipped up some sautéed razor clams in garlic olive oil and capers on toast points. Blew me away. Razor clams are hard to get right. These were super tender and sweet. Made me so happy. My friend ordered the wahoo. My god it was good! Lite Cajun spice. Cooked perfectly. This place was just great. The owner David and the chef Jonathon are the sweetest guys ever. Genuine. Foodies and lovers of people that love great food. Hazels in Birmingham can piss off. They have nothing on these guys except a pretentious zip code, outrageous rent, and extremely over priced food. read more

Interesting concept to be able to pick out your fresh seafood and have them cook it. If I lived closer I would use them as my market for fresh seafood.The guys running the place couldn't be nicer. Great experience! read more

Lobster roll was scant,dry,and tasteless. Place looked semi out of business. Definitely not a return.

Very fresh fish only a few varieties but swimming yesterday. Lobster poor boy. Big party seated at long table seemed to be enjoying everythinge, didn't slow down my carry out a bit. Owner very nice and knowledgeable. I hope he is successful, it would be nice to get seafood anytime we want. read more
