You can look in the back windows and watch them processing fish and shellfish as well. Full service probably some of the fresh fish around if you're asking me to guess. They also supply a lot of the local restaurants wholesale speaking you can get better prices elsewhere, but convenience and location are probably worthwhile for what they're charging.

Came to buy some sashimi…read more We ordered about $160 worth of tuna. Chutoro (medium fatty cut located near the belly) Best place to get fish in the area if you know what to shop for. Luckily, our friend is a fish connoisseur so she was able to find this good deal! The 3 fillets are $80 worth. We ate half that same night with some uni from another place.

Came here through all the hype and was a little skeptical but it did not disappoint. The fish…read more quality and price is exactly as you may have seen. It is fresh and is not expensive. You can also buy in bulk and they have a bag you can keep it in! After buying your food there is a cafeteria area upstairs where you can microwave rice and add any sauce you may want. They also provide tea, water and coffee. Could not be more satisfied with this place honestly.

Highly recommend a visit if you are in the area! ISF offers fresh seafood at great prices…read more Plenty of seats to dine in with utensils, water, and tea offered. Just remember to clean up after yourselves because you're dining in the employees lunch are. Bathrooms are also available here too!

Hands down one of the best seafood spots in Portland, especially for the price!…read more My husband and I are big seafood lovers, so we had to stop here during our trip. We started with the fish chowder since they didn't have clam chowder. This was probably the only dish that felt average to me, although my husband really enjoyed it. Everything else was a completely different story. The raw seafood was so fresh. We tried the oysters, clams, scallops, and spoons, and every bite tasted clean, fresh, and high quality. The prices were also surprisingly reasonable compared to a lot of other places serving similar seafood. For our entrees, we both went with the hot butter lobster roll. It was classic, simple, and exactly what I expected a good lobster roll to taste like. For the price, I definitely think it was worth it. The restaurant has a casual, laid back ambiance, which fits perfectly with the no frills seafood experience. It's a great spot if you're looking for something relaxed rather than fancy. Service was attentive, friendly, and overall great. If you're in Portland and craving seafood without wanting to spend a fortune, I highly recommend giving this place a try!

OMG Great Seafood…read more Some of the best oysters. Had 5 different oysters all anywhere they come from. Awesome had raw scallops good but not as good as the oysters, My niece Liv had a sampler platter with Tuna & caviar etc... Full bar. I had a mocktail Great waitress my bad I forgot her name & Alex the shucker was also awesome. There a combination restaurant & market very busy place great for people watching. Go there now

Amazing store. We popped in for some fish, but came away with wine, cheese, and some other goodies…read more They have specialty items that are not found anywhere in Portland. This was like being in a bigger city! The cheese bar was open, and we were served a few delicious cheeses with full explanations. We of course ended up buying cheese to go with the wine we were not planning on purchasing. Then I found the wine, wow, what a selection. These are not the supermarket wines, these are excellent selections made by people that know what they are buying. Something unique, delicious, and bold. I loved it. It was pricey, but the service was excellent (until we went to the fish counter - maybe a bad day?). But everyone else in the store was very helpful, kind, and were smiling. The prices were a bit high, but the location is pretty, well organized, clean, and again - very helpful staff.

I usually buy my lobster from Bailey's but was going to Portland anyway so since the lobster meat…read morewas $30lb as opposed to $40lb I thought I'd try Portland Lobster Pound. The place looked clean and the guy was nice enought but the lobster was slimy and smelled bad. I knew better but we ate some and we got very sick. I called him to let him know that he should check his stock and he kept repeating "There's nothing I can do" like he'd heard this issue time and time again. I wasn't asking for $ just for him to check his stock. So... I strongly suggest spending a bit more and going elsewhere.

We used Portland lobster pound last year to ship 4 jumbo lobsters to Florida we were quoted one…read moreprice and the billed us $50 more then the quote...although they credited us back and the lobsters arrived on Xmas eve like they were supposed to we decided to give them another shot this year we did Steamers and Crab they called us two days before shipping and told us they don't have crab to ship so we changed to lobster and they said it would be about the same price...once again it ended up $40 more then quoted...when we called on Thursday night before Xmas eve to ask why its so much higher we were looking for an a reason the owner Roger told me that it is what it is that I should have counted the packaging..."how am i a consumer suppose to account for that he is the expert" after questioning him he stated that he didn't want to deal with this and that he wasn't going to ship the order... in other words leave people stranded on a gift for CHRISTMAS EVE to family and hung up the phone...when i called back upset he hung up again saying he didn't have time for this...after a few more calls and hang ups I gave up. ON CHRISTMAS EVE I even told him i will pay the price and to ship it he ignored that too now someone is out there not getting there special gift for CHRISTMAS because this ignorant owner doesn't have the decency to give an accurate quote and even then to hang up and not ship the order its just wrong. Don't ever go here you will be but through the ringer and you will but left starving....

My husband I loved this place so much we came here twice within a 24 hour period. The lobster roll is just French freaking kiss. Wow.. mouth watering good. It's been 8 years since our honeymoon visit and I still think about this place. Fresh lobster, crispy calamari, hot French fries. They have an open dining area where you can sit anywhere you'd like. I'm from the Midwest so trying east coast seafood for the first time was a bit daunting. I didn't want to look foolish lol! The staff was very nice and helpful. Honestly, this place a 100/10!

There are several companies that ship lobster and other shellfish from Maine to other American…read morecities. They're all reasonably expensive - after all, they're shipping live lobster, clams and other things directly to you. You can't really judge them on price - but you can judge on quality. THis is the best of the bunch. THey will ship lobsters, crab claws, clams, mussels, shrimp and other locally-caught seafood directly from their shop (right across from the dock on the Portland waterfront) to you. The lobsters always arrive alive and healthy and clean, 24 hours and sometimes less from when they were caught. For under $200 you can have 4 1-person-sized lobsters and a pound each of mussels and clams and crab claws, as well as bibs, shell-crackers, wetnaps and a picture of the fisherman who caught your lobster with a personal note and a map where he shows exactly where and when yours was caught. In fact, lately, they've sometimes offered this as part of a groupon for under $150, which is a fantastic deal (it includes overnight shipping). We got the 4-lobster and misc. shellfish selection as a 10-yr anniversary gift from my parents and it was one of the best gifts we've ever received - we enjoyed it with 2 friends and everyone had a fantastic time. I will absolutely use Catch a Piece of Maine again in the future.

During the ordering process I had a few questions and they were very prompt in responding to my inquiries. The personal touches from where the lobster was caught is a nice touch.
