We got a Large Hot and a Small (regular sized) Classic (cold). The hot is better than the cold, so I'd opt for that over the cold. The Lobster Bisque comes with the standard oyster crackers, but I was actually enjoying this with the kettle chips that came with the lobster rolls! Creamy with nice chunks of lobsters. Definitely a great non-roll option. The Blueberry Pie with Blueberry Ice Cream is the way to go! We got this after finishing our rolls and bisque. It was freshly baked with a crisp crust and lots of blueberries! It was a little sweet for me, but it is an indulgent dessert! Note: the lemonade and unsweetened ice tea are bottled drinks. I am interested in trying the other lobster dishes, so will have to try them out next time!

Seeing it in the distance fills me with an overwhelming sense of excitement as it meant returning to one of my favorite hiking spots in New England (so far) and beginning a weeklong binge on Maine's freshest seafood. I absolutely love this tiny and unassuming (from the outside) seafood market and couldn't wait to be back again this year. Last year, it was the first stop to pick up ingredients for my weeklong visit to Acadia National Park. This year, after a whole year of telling anyone and everyone I knew visiting Acadia, it was once again my first stop after I started driving from Boston. Loaded Lobster Roll - check. Loaded Crab Roll - check. Dorr Hoodie - check. Fresh scallops - check. 5# bag of steamers - check. Calamari salad - check. A pair of lovely fresh and alive lobsters for later - check. Some of the freshest stuff at really competitive prices. What's there not to like? Oh yeah, there is Tim with his super sarcastic sense of humor. A conversation with him just absolutely cracks me up. Super nice dude with a lot of information and makes the overall experience here even better than it already is. I also got to meet the father and son owners during this visit. Always glad to meet the hardworking fishermen behind the amazing product that I've become addicted to.

Having spent a few days in Blue Hill (and consumed many lobster rolls), the lobster roll at Fish…read moreNet was among our favorites (and probably second place overall). If you like a relatively minimalist lobster roll like we do, it's pretty perfect, with just a little mayo, enough salt to give the meat a bit of flavor, and a generous portion of perfectly cooked meat. The onion rings are my platonic ideal -- thinly cut and just a little crunchy batter. The fried pickles were surprisingly good too, again not overly battered and the pickle slices are not at all mushy. The house lemonade is great as well, and the chocolate soft serve was some of the best I've ever had. Lots of seating outside but in a rarity for the area there is a decent amount of booth seating in the cute inside as well. Would happily eat here every day if I could and would still love to try the crab roll!

Our party of 4 had the lobster mac n cheese (didn't get a pic of this because my son devoured it so quickly, YUM!), crab roll, clam chowder and 2 lobster dinners, plus a couple cold beers to wash it down. It was all amazing. Best lobster dinner I've had up here, and we've been coming to Maine for 14 years. The folks working here are all so attentive, kind, going above and beyond. Example - I don't care for the stuff in the body that you sometimes get with super fresh lobsters. Apparently this is a delicacy, but this Southern girl says no thanks. I asked if they would mind giving it a little dip to clean it out once broken. No rolled eyes, no hesitation, just absolutely YES. They cleaned it out, split it open and returned it to our table in a fresh boat. WOW! The lobsters were cooked to perfection. So tender, so juicy, so very fresh. The corn was crisp and amazing. Cole slaw is not usually my jam but their version was delicious! We cleaned our plates. The crab roll had tons of crab - super sweet and amazing. Clam chowder was the perfect balance of creamy broth, clams (so tender), and potatoes. We were already planning our next trip before we left the first time.

We hadn't tried this restaurant because the wait times during peak season have been challenging and…read morethey don't accommodate parties of 8 or more so that left it off the family gathering possibilities. We heard owners had changed but the menu touted well-loved "favorites." We arrived for a birthday dinner, just the two of us. Oysters are always a favorite, so we ordered a half dozen for $21. They were not labeled as being from a particular oyster bed and knowing where they are from is an important part of our experience. We shrugged that part of the experience off - and only cocktail sauce, no mignonette- and dug in. Although the oysters were served with a plate of ice underneath, no ice touched the oyster shells. And I so wished they were ice cold. These were lukewarm, air temp (no heat wave yet, thank goodness!) and they could not have been less appetizing due to the temp. For dinner I tried the surf and turf and my companion ordered a casserole style lobster, 5 oz of picked lobster served with a cracker crumb crust. The New York strip steak was cooked, as requested, medium rare. A stripe of gristle went the length of the entire cut, and the steak was unseasoned, tough, and nearly inedible. With my steak was a butterflied lobster tail with a full dark vein on top of half. There is no way anyone near that dish, from plate to service, missed seeing it. So I deveined my own lobster tail and enjoyed an otherwise perfectly cooked lobster tail. My dining partner's lobster dish, with the cracker crumb topping, looked dry as a bone and so heavily doused with paprika or other spice as to be inedible. She waded through half and found little lobster and we sifted through the remaining crumb for what should have been at least 3 oz more of lobster meet. Nope. Our server was another matter. He wasn't rude, but he never made eye contact and when we refused take out containers for what was clearly about half our meal, he avoided the obvious issues. Cashing out tableside with his handheld device should have felt easy and convenient but the automated tip options added an eye roll and some disgust to our already bad experience. Dining outdoors riverside? Lovely. The food, not so much. There are many outdoor venues and I encourage you to pass by this Ellsworth option.
