Our family has been getting our lobsters here for years. The service is good and they have options for cooking and cracking the lobsters for you. They also have various sizes and are helpful in determining how much is needed for the amount of people you have. Our family usually picks up wine from there as well which makes it a nice stop for us. read more

Products fresh, sevice excellent a little pricy but we'll worth it ... lobsters are great as well as the mussels

Nauset Fish & Lobster Pool - 2lb. Lobsters and little neck clams. Awesome dinner! - Seafood Markets Near Me - Orleans, Massachusetts

Swordfish was so fresh and delicious. It was being cut when I arrived. Loved the thicker cut for grilling.

It's like the seafood version of Willy Wonka's candy store: everything is delicious, be it pre-made or fresh. My favorites include their ahi, stuffed scallops, crab cakes, lobster, smoked mussels, and chowder. Really any choice is the right one, there is no losing here. I'm salivating just thinking about all of the happy meals my belly has felt due to this lovely establishment. A must visit if in the area. read more

One Great selection of incredibly, reasonably priced fresh sea food. Our friends brought us here as the best place for cost & quality in the area- they were correct. There's a nice selection of beer and wine of equally good value and selection. Lots of prepared food & food to go as well as Brad from the famous PB boulangerie! One stop shopping for a perfect meal! read more

The staff were great and very helpful. Order was available exactly when promised no delay. Highly recommended as the place for your fresh seafood. read more

On the cape on vacation I went to Nauset fish and lobster to get a few items for a fish stew I was making. It was a Wednesday and there were a few people looking over the lobsters (which are on display in a huge tank) and the fresh fish case. Everything was very fresh and they had an impressive selection of fish and shellfish to offer. The person who waited on me was very nice and patient with me (as I needed different amounts of 6 different seafood items). The freshness of the fish was totally worth the price. Yeah....I could have gotten some stuff at the supermarket but how long has it been sitting there? The fish here looked as if it were caught that day. They also offer to cook your lobster (might have to call ahead) which is a nice option. Overall a very good experience. read more

Some stellar fishmongers help supply the inventory at this clean seafood market. Lobster lobster lobster plus! Smashed in between the Lobster Claw and Sir Crickets Fish/Chips is this wonderful, albeit $$$, seafood market. As we had made the decision earlier in the day to hot tub, read, watch movies, play Settlers of Catan, and shop, came over here along the 6A and planned for an all out seafood fest. $10/lb for fresh,in-the-tank lobsters....we bought 2 totalling $60. The a full fresh filet of scrod, ahi tuna kabobs, half lb of prawns at $14/lb, and a whole 8" clam pie...along with some homemade tartar and a med container of clam chowder base.... Joined the queue and waited our turn for some super fresh maritime yummies--market sells all sorts of condiments...I.e. Cream for bisque, old bay spice, seasoning for any kind of seafood--even fresh, crusty bread and an alcohol case! Remember to freeze your lobsters for a bit before dunking them into the lobster pot to kill them humanely--they go into a comatose, slower state when cold. read more

Freshest seafood. They prep lobster for you perfectly. I buy all my fresh seafood here for years! Counter service is friendly.

There were worms in the cod I bought today!! The store said it's normal and did not offer a refund. Do not go here if you desire worm-free-fish! See picture for evidence. Never returning here!!! Now we have no dinner and other fish markets are closed for the night! read more

Nauset Fish & Lobster Pool - Worms in fish - Seafood Markets Near Me - Orleans, Massachusetts

Nauset Fish is my go-to fish market in the area. It's not big but they have most of what you need and it's good and fresh. One of my favorite items is the stuffed clams, they are delicious. In the summer it's open until 8pm I think every night in case you have a fish emergency. It's worth checking out in your in the area looking for good fresh fish. read more

Here's the deal. Their fish and seafood are great. Bring money.....lots of it. Prices are HIGH! If you're cooking your fish, not sure it's worth it. If you are buying to make sushi....it's my go to place. read more

I have shopped here for years. I have always loved this place. But now they hire these anti-social young men who are just plain rude. And it's not just me. I watched three other customers get treated the same way while waiting in the line. The last 3 times in a row they refuse to even say thank you even after I say thank you. It's truly deliberate at this point. It feels like they have these sociopathic internet dumb trolls working the counter. Remarkable what has happened here. It's truly remarkable to spend over $100 on fish and be treated this way when I go out of my way to shop there. Avoid this place. They have just become terrible. Young guy today was about 6 foot tall, blue sweatshirt on. Christmas Eve. 3 Strikes Nauset! read more

West Point class of 1974 appreciates you support for the Armed Services and our lobster fest tonight. Great customer service and appreciation for the troops. Thanks for everything! POTC'74 G-4 read more

This is our favorite place to buy fish... and we drive by seafood markets much closer to home because the fish here is the freshest, the place is immaculate, and the staff is friendly and helpful. read more

We stay in Orleans every year because we have family in the area, and we decided two years ago to give up on Nauset Fish. The fresh fish and lobster they sell are available everywhere on the Cape, so the selling point for a fish market is how they handle customers. In my experience this shop is impatient with customers and often downright rude. We have complained and been told it was one particular "niece" who no longer works there, but when we went back it was the same deal. I'm sure those who work there get tired of answering the same questions and waiting for people to make up their mind as to what they want. But that is part of the job and we feel much more welcomed at other local markets. read more

Freshest seafood in the area - the fishermen are unloading their pickups to the back door as you step foot in the front. Their crab and seafood cakes are not to be missed. At 2.50 a pop, they are hands down the best souvenir we bring back home from the Cape. read more

Always fresh, always a variety, always very expensive. Just don't expect a greeting, smile, helpful cooking instructions, or even a hello. Ever go into an empty store - off high season - and feel like you are bothering them? Times are tough but be grateful for people willing to spend $35 for fish they will go home and cook themselves. read more

This is absolutely the best fish market to go to in Orleans, and even the surrounding towns. Everything is always fresh, beautifully cut and clean. I love it. The fishmongers themselves are really helpful and efficient, and I believe a few of them to be the fishermen who supply the actual inventory. They always know what's fresh, what's best and exactly how much you'll need. They have a great lobster pool and will even cook them for you in advance, if you like. They also sell condiments, chips and a small selection on wine and beers to complete the meal you're about to make. Nice! Parking can be tricky as there are only a few spots our front that are shared with neighboring businesses, but you can find a place in the neighboring larger lot. read more

I've been coming here for as long as I can remember. They've pretty much got any seafood your little heart could desire, and its all very fresh. The lobster tank is very entertaining for kids. If you're a lazy vacationer you can order lobsters, cooked, to be picked up. I find that these people, more frequently than restaurants, cook the lobster PERFECTLY. I'd also recommend popping your head into Sir Cricket's next door for an amaaazing lobster roll. read more

I have been going to this fish market for over 10 years. They have excellent selection of quality seafood. It's not cheap. However I am a very disappointed customer. This is a small building and I am surprised that one of the workers repeatedly refuses to wear a mask. Social distancing is not possible. I find this practice irresponsible and reckless. It shows no respect for the states mandatory requirements to wear masks in public place. I will not go to here until Pandemic is over. read more

Fresh, delicious seafood with a full menu to choose from and enjoy. Quick, superb service with a smile. Highly recommended because it checks all the boxes. In a word ...... Yumfest! read more

Lovely place, lovely staff. Everyone was masked and friendly. We had the stuffed sole to take home and it was fantastic. Definitely will return. read more

i was SOOOO disappointed! I ordered Calamari & Fries. The fries were limp greasy noodles, Calamari, cherrio sized soggy ringlets. I have had fish from market, excellent, but the Sir whatever its called's food, total let down, threw it out. read more

Easily some of the freshest seafood I've ever tasted. Honestly can't imagine better seafood - MAYBE as good, but definitely not better. My friends and I decided to save some cash by lighting up our grill instead of going to some expensive restaurant. Definitely one of the better decisions of the trip. We found this place thanks to the raving Yelpers, and decided on one of the salmons (can't remember which kind), a swordfish steak, and some scallops. All were fantastic - just so flavorful! Also, the staff was very nice and knowledgeable. Highly recommend! read more

If you're looking to kick back at home, cook dinner, and watch a movie THIS is the place to buy yourself some tasty seafood. Staff is friendly and is always knowledgable on their selections. One member actually gave me step by step directions on how to cook the tuna steak and it turned out to be perfect. Definitely stop by here if you want to cook dinner or pick up already cooked lobster. (They do it all for you!) read more

Bad customer service. We arrived there at 5:30 and they said they wouldn't cook any lobster for us because they were closing. I double checked online and it said they closed at 7:00pm so I called just to make sure. The guy said The internet was crazy and they close at 6:00pm. I'm sure it will not be hard finding lobster somewhere else. read more

The fish here is consistently fresh and well presented. Nauset has a wider selection than some of the other local fish markets. Ask them about ways to cook what you're buying as they have a lot of interesting recipes, some of which are posted on a board behind the counter. Expect to pay a premium here. If local prices for fish or scallops drop because of a good catch, they will not pass the savings on to their customers. There are better alternatives in Chatham and Eastham read more

Well, if you love rudeness with your fish, this is the place for you! Also being overcharged (one of their specialities). We asked to have a pound and a half of scrod, which we were given, then charged for a higher priced fish. When we questioned this, we were treated like idiots for expecting them to honor the price posted. The fish isn't anything special, but the attitude sure is there in spades! read more

We've bought all of our seafood here for years and have never been disappointed. Lobster, fish cakes, haddock, tuna, swordfish, hake, flounder, striper, scallops, fluke - if it's in season they have it. Not the cheapest but worth it. read more

Full fish market, but we went for the lobster. $9.99 lb for lobsters under 2 lbs and $10.99 lb for 2 lbs (the price drops again for xl lobsters), plus they steam, crack and slice them for for you. Grab some chowder from Sir Crickets next door and you have the makings of a sensational take-out dinner. read more

So let me brag and say that I am a great amateur chef. I am also a grill master, gas and charcoal... SO when I buy my food for the grill I look carefully -- I don't want to ever serve mediocre meals. It's one thing if I screw up with the seasonings or the marinade. It's another if the fish is flavorless or dated. I used to go to Cap'n Elmers for all of my fresh fish when in Orleans. And this is for over 30 years. The fish was always good. The service was almost always cursory at best. But I kept going back. When Elmer's closed this past year I had to find my way down 6A to Nauset Fish. Within 10 seconds of being waited on I kicked myself -- all these years I spent at Elmer's being treated with blase attitude and here I was treated with courtesy and respect. And their product? Everything I bought from them: scallops, salmon, shrimp, swordfish, lobsters (they steamed and cracked them to perfection), and some yellow fin tuna, was very fresh and very tasty. Thanks to the raw material from Nauset Fish I made some exquisite better than any restaurant dishes. There's no question: forget any other fishmonger. Forget Stop and Shop or Shaws. Forget every place for seafood: buy the best at Nauset Fish. read more

Solid fishmonger with good sized lobster pools that were well stocked. Not cheap but good. Haddock was first rate but @ $16.99/lb and 1.25 chicks @ $11. But it's high-season on the Cape and they need to make their money. No one is driving up from Pennsylvania to buy fish and lobsters in January, after all. You may find cheaper if you call around, but this place is AOK. read more

We stopped in for a pound and half of littleneck clams over the weekend. Paid about $7.50 for some really fresh ones and found a nice bottle of chablis as well. We threw the clams together with some garlic, lemon juice, and beer and the concoction was delicious. I thought the beer would be weird, but it all came together very nicely because of the delicious clams. Besides having spaghetti with it, we used bread to sop up the sauce. Can't wait till the next time in the Cape as I will surely be stopping in for some more fresh seafood as the lobster tank is still calling out my name. read more

I am a native Cape Codder, my father was a fisherman, and I cook a lot of fish. There are many fish markets on the Cape that do a fine job, but Nauset Fish & Lobster is my favorite. I've shopped there for YEARS and have never had a bad experience. The selection is always good and the fish is always fresh, even in the off-season. The staff expands in the summer when it's busier but even the seasonal people are well-trained and eager to please. I'm just so grateful they're in Orleans. read more

I worked here for many years and I can assure you that this place has great quality fish that is brought in all day, everyday.
