For being in New England, more specifically Mass, there was no reason to be stingy on seafood or not use fresh seafood. This was so disappointing and such a waste of money. The flavor was way off. Even the steak was subpar. Like it wasn't even seasoned at all, not even salt. The best part of the dish was the vegetables. On both dishes. The rice was just gross. Literally nothing was seasoned at all. It's listed as swordfish skewers and it didn't even serve a single swordfish steak on the single skewer. Horrible. Absolutely horrible. read more

never a disappointment. I have nothing negative to say about West Boylston seafood. Great service and quality food..

It's always good here. Some of the market prices are high for a sit down meal. Especially scallops. The fish market is pretty good if you get there at the right time. I'm a regular. Service is always good. read more

As a restaurant I would on give a 4 rating. Food is ok. I only got the fish and chips. Fish was ok, not memorable. Chips were excellent and lots of them. They offer lots of menu selections. Order at the counter and the food is brought to your table. Ambience is sterile. Long narrow room with tables on either side. Service is friendly, but not feeling the vibe in the restaurant. The fish market is a 5. Great selection and quality. Helpful staff. Ell worth the extra 20 minute drive to avoid the local fish market in Fitchburg. read more

Never been disappointed, this is one place that has stayed consistent in great seafood throughout the years.

A really awesome, no frills seafood place. Top notch. Very fresh seafood. I believe they supply a lot of local establishments with their seafood which is great because it keeps the inventory rotating. Thus, ensuring, consistent freshness. Service has always been fast. And they have always been able to answer my questions. If you wanna make yourself some thing at home with fresh seafood, you can't go wrong with these guys. read more

What can I say but fresh and delicious! Everything was prepared perfectly. Our server was friendly, nice and professional. The fish market part of the restaurant is an amazing place to pick up super fresh seafood. read more

West Boylston Seafood - This is what my seafood plate with this pile off oil soaked onion rings! Disgusting! - Seafood Markets Near Me - West Boylston, Massachusetts

I have always been a big fan of West Boylston Seafood the food and the service has always been great. Recently however, I ordered three 11/2 lobster cooked to have at home. The lobsters were over cooked and rubbery. The meat stuck to the shell and was chewy and tasted horrible. Franky I was surprised that they would allow this to happen. I had to throw the lobster away as it was not edible. read more

I have never had Fried Scallops so depressing... The Scallops were RUBBERY...the coating was old ... my side dish of rice had a HORRIBLE flavor ... this establishment is for the MAGA people read more

This is a really cool spot with great seafood. I got a bunch of takeout last week and was really impressed with the Fried Oysters and fish in general. I'm looking forward to returning. read more

What a pleasant day to take a lunch break from work, and eat a Haddock Sandwich at the picnic table. The Haddock is so fresh; it just melts in your mouth! The service was quick despite the crowd (this restaurant is so good and popular). read more

I don't know what has happened at this restaurant. used to be so good. The last three times we went there, the food is just awful - overcooked, dry clams, scallops, shrimp. also, their portion size has diminished. when you spend a decent amount for fried scallops and get 4 and 1/2 scallops on the plate it is quite ridiculous. (overcooked) As above, I gave them a fair shot and went back three times to be sure it wasn't a fluke that we got a bad meal. Go elsewhere for your seafood. they have gone downhill substantially. read more

I've been here many times, the clam chowder is delicious!! I had weight loss surgery 3 years ago and I can't eat much, I tried the 2 homemade lump crab cakes and they were good.. over the years I've had the haddock and fries. read more

West Boylston Seafood - Coleslaw, lump crab cakes - Seafood Markets Near Me - West Boylston, Massachusetts

A cute little spot with some of the best fried clams in the area. I stop in whenever I am in town. This is a no frills type of restaurant but the quality of the seafood is excellent and it is worth the trip if you are having a simple meal out. The fish and chips are excellent too. I've had them and they are perfectly crispy and hot made with good quality haddock. read more

F'en awesome! This food was better than some chow I have eaten in Maine, Salem, Ipswich, and Newburyport. No! Really! The whole belly clams--not chewy. The scallops--sweet, juicy, plump. I have had both the clam chowdah and the lobster bisque. Both were liquid gold. Is seafood expensive? Yes. You might as well spend your money on GOOD seafood. read more

It was atb40'% best the place --. Mussel were half streamed it was gross- it's close to my home but it's just yuzky

Arrived on Thursday before Christmas completely understanding that the store would be busy due to the holidays. There was a line of 10 people deep waiting to order behind the deli. I skipped the line and went to the "self service refrigerator" to buy fish stock. I honestly assumed that was the right thing to do so that the deli line remained what it was full service. I tried to buy $5.00 of fish stock and only encountered rude staff ignoring me. The staff was so busy arguing amongst themselves that they couldn't take two minutes to ring me out! Finally, someone advised me to pick up my fish stock and get in line!!! Thank you Wegmans for your amazing fish stock!! read more

Expensive. But alas, quality seafood is. Lobster roll was a little overpriced compared to others around and didn't have much flavor. Their lobster bisque is HEAVENLY though. Hubby ordered their captains platter of fried food. That was also delicious. Overall, just a little pricey but pretty good!! read more

We went here today. It was fast, and the seafood was delicious. The prices affordable compared to other places in the area. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because the clam roll was expensive for what it was. It was on the small side. Otherwise, everything else was great .. Especially the haddock sandwich! read more

This place used to be so good but UGH, more m and I were so disappointed today. We dined in and mom was served fish chowder that was loaded with big chunks of potato, barely any fish and little slivers at that, and barely warm. My lobster bisque was hot and creamy but had no lobster pieces in it like they used to have, just delivers that came from the carcass of a lobster. Moms baked haddock had absolutely zero flavor. I thought she was joking but wow, it was completely flavorless except for the skin and been frozen and not fully cooked. My seafood was a 'fisherman platter" consisted of a platter of fries with 6 medley whole belly clams and 6 sea scallops, 2 that were no bigger than bay scallops. $54 dollars later we left more than half the dinner on the table as it was not worth bringing home. The Cole slaw was good and fresh but we will not return again. So sad, this used to be one of the better seafood places around. read more

Over the past fourteen years, I have taken the opportunity to dine at West Boylston Seafood any time I am in the area. In every visit I have left fully satisfied and with nothing but great experiences. At one time or another, I have tried almost every item on the menu. My favorites have been the Sea Scallop Plate - both fried and baked, Haddock and Chips, Oyster plate - fried, Fisherman's Platter, and the Fried shrimp plate. All of my dinner plates have come with coleslaw and fries. You can also substitute a salad for both sides for a small additional charge and the salad is large. Portion sizes are always large and I typically eat the entree and pick at the side items. They do close early at 8 pm most nights so when working late it can sometimes be hard to get here from my office location in Worcester. I have dined here alone, with my wife and with groups from work and there is plenty of room in the dining area which is clean and comfortable. My only negative would be that I don't get here nearly as often as I would desire but it is a must stop when I am in town. I highly recommend giving them a try. read more

We didn't know what to expect when we walked in for lunch but to our surprise it was a great place.. Ordered our food at the counter and the staff brought right out to us when done cooking.. Food was great staff was so friendly and helpful.. Yes we will go back again read more

We got pickup here tonight and it was SO GOOD! I got a kids meal, clam strips and French fries. I LOVED it! My roommate got the Fisherman's platter and he loved his too. I tried one of his scallops, YUM. Everything was super delicious. We got a side of onion rings too. Wowee. We will definitely be back here all summer. I saw some bad reviews and I thought let's just try... so glad we went!! read more

THEY ARE OPEN ON SUNDAY TILL 8- !!! I thought it was odd that they were listed as closed, so called them. It's their fish market that's closed. I told them Yelp had it wrong -- they apologized, said that there was nothing they could do about it. Best fresh fish around. Fried and broiled, plus beer and wine. Simple and delicious. Dining room looks like a seafood place you'd see at The Cape; good for couples, small groups, and families. Plus, amazing Italian bakery across the driveway from them. We eat here every couple of months. I rate them the best seafood in north central Mass. read more

I stopped in Thursday morning March 16, 2023 to buy some shrimp. I noticed that they had pre-made bake stuffed shrimp. It looked good so I bought 4 pieces. After I cooked it I could smell an ammonia smell coming from the shrimp. You know what that means, ammonia means bad shrimp. Selling the public bad seafood means you get crossed off the list forever. I will not spend another dime at this fish market. read more

We had one great experience and one bad experience. Normally we'd forgive it but the attitude of the establishment is why we changed our review. We told them our 9.00 bowl of soup was horrible and the staff replied "Yeah, sometimes it isn't very good depending on who made it that day" and then proceeded to walk away. The salmon was fishy and not very good at all. Such a shame. Consistency is important, but even more important is caring if your guests are happy. read more

This rating is for the takeout service; I've never eaten in the dining room. Slowly but surely, WB Seafood has become my go-to place for any seafood locally. Everything just gets better each time I visit. Food quality is superb, nothing has ever been under- or over-cooked, and the staff somehow miraculously manages to never make a mistake and always get the food done on time. Busy weekend night? No problem! Complicated order? They will get it right! I have to admit, I used to go elsewhere for anything beyond basic fried fish and chips, but WB Seafood now is the best in the area for everything from baked stuffed shrimp to fried lobster. Just wonderful! Keep up the good work! read more

Just went to West Boylston Seafood but 2 lb of scallops 2 lb of shrimp 2 lb filet haddock and some shrimp sauce and quart of clam chowder and they never put the chowder in the bag hundred and ten bucks and I didn't get chowder be careful when you go there read more

Greeeaaaat lobster roll! Fresh and sweet meat with a light mayo and a nicely toasted bun. Ordered crispy sweet potato fries and coleslaw to accompany, and a cup of silky rich and decadent lobster bisque (because, you know, I'm in Mass and it's lobster). Very casual family place with a fish market in the back. Good for groups, too. read more

Been there several times, never a disappointment. The food is the same quality as you would get at a much higher priced restaurant. The only real downside is the cafeteria style atmosphere, although getting good seafood for less than $20 per person is definitely worth going for. When you first walk in, you go right up to the order desk, and then they bring the food to you. The girls who bring the food out or very nice. Good place to go for lunch or for a weekday evening read more

Our #1 spot for fresh seafood in the Worcester area. The fish is super fresh and both the market and restaura t staff are upbeat and helpful. We've been to the restaurant often and have sampled a wide variety of their fare.Our one wish is that they offered beer battered fried dishes again. read more

Got my really nice lunch from them today. Their fish sandwich with fries. I know, fried food isn't so great for an old fogey like me, but once in awhile you just have to do it. Fortunately it was not soaked in Grease, the food was actually really nice and I enjoyed it. The service was friendly and quick I gave them about 10 minutes and it was ready when I got there. Can't say anything bad about this experience at all. Will definitely be back! read more

West Boylston Seafood - Fish sandwich with fried and coleslaw. Yum! - Seafood Markets Near Me - West Boylston, Massachusetts

I was truly disappointed at this establishment today when I bought $70 worth of lobsters and asked that they throw a little ice in the bag they were in to keep them on my ride. The young man who waited on me told me I could buy a bag of ice right there in the cooler rather than toss a cup of ice in. I didn't like it but I could understand that. The worst of my visit was as leaving when an elderly woman (70's) walking with a cane was trying to enter, I held the door open for her and as she was entering and got through the door, A young girl behind the counter was yelling at her telling her she could not come in telling her to walk around the store and get in line like everyone else. That is the most disgraceful thing I've ever seen at any business in my life. I will go back to the fish store in Worcester and never shop there again. read more

Such a shame, our family use to eat here prior to covid. Decided to order their lobster roll and lobster salad for take out today. Can not believe for such little lobster that the price was $24.99 each. Yes there were 2 lobster roll ordered along with lobster salad. $113 later, haddock fish and chip wasn't bad...but the lobster was a huge disappointment. I should have taken a picture, but I was so surprised. Will not be returning. read more

What a cute little spot! Randomly stumbled upon this place after coming from Old Stone Church. We were greeted with warm smiles by staff and surprised by the affordable menu. The dining area itself is very minimalist but very New Englandy. Our food was brought out very fast and it was delicious! The battered fish (haddock) was perfectly breaded and overall delectable. Sweet spot that is on a very busy rode for commuters. I would give it a second glance if I were you. Great dining experience! read more

Sticker shock!. I got a whole clam dinner. I was supposed to get Cole slaw with the dinner, nope. There were strips mixed in with my dinner. I was looking forward to a Hampton Beach style clam dinner. Not impressed. The prices didn't make any sense on the menu boards. A clam plate lunch cost around $13.00. Mine cost me almost $25 I won't go back there. Years ago I went there and had a very good experience. Not this time. read more

Not sure why anyone who enjoys good seafood would eat here. Stuffed sole was gray, undercooked and not very tasty, calamari was over coated with batter and the chowders were basically bowls of corn starch or flour with some clams and potatoes in them. Maybe this place has some good fresh fish at its fish market but nothing worth eating in the restaurant read more

We went there for Mother's Day and spent over $115.00 for a family of 4. My daughter took a bite of a bad scallop and she asked her dad to double check to see if it tasted bad. It WAS bad and he nearly threw up at the table. It was a horrible experience. They said it tasted like the bottom of a porta potty or vomit. The waitress walked by as my husband was trying to not gag. She was very kind and immediately took the plate away and said she would take the meal off our bill. She offered to bring something else and we hesitantly said maybe a cup of chowder, although at that time, we lost our appetites. My husband and two daughters were unable to eat their scallop plates. Full plates of food were left on the table. We tried to not make a scene and left. Later, we called to talk to a manager about the situation because we felt that out bill should have been adjusted more, since no one could eat their scallops afterwards. The manger said she would look into it and call us back and never did. Overall, it was a disgusting restaurant experience, but we are thankful for not getting food poisoning, just a slight upset tummy afterwards. read more
