If you are looking for authentic and high quality seafood there is not a better place to shop for or dine in than Chatham Pier Fish Market. The fresh seafood is on a display in front of you and you pick Poseidon’s gifts you crave for. There are plenty of choices in fish, shrimps, oysters, clams, lobsters… Very friendly and knowledgeable staff is on hand to help you with your choices. The food is high quality and fresh out of the ocean. I bought a 1.25 lb lobster which came with buttered corn. I also bought blackened cod. Both were served steamy hot. The food is prepared while you wait and the portion size and quality will blow you away. The restaurant gives you plenty of of options for sides as well. The lobster was $25 and the large cod $12. The sides are $3-6. It was an incredible feast steps from the ocean exactly what you would expect from a fish market in Cape Cod. The quality of food, location and service deserve 5 stars.
It was recommended to stop by mid afternoon 1pm to 3pm to see seals. They came near because the fisherman are cleaning their catch and seals are getting treats (so to speak!) We saw so many seals at one point and they started singing. Amazing memories! The real treat is the sea food sold right there! Best lobster roll! 🦞
This is a neat little place to watch them unload today's catch and check out the harbor seals. There's a little restaurant or front that supposedly has the best clam chowder ever. They're closed on Tuesdays, we went on a Tuesday. 😫
We went during the season (busy, lively, cape cod feels- obviously!) and the off season for different reasons. I’d recommend both. The seals were far and few between in November compared to the summer but still cute as ever.
Awesome fish market and carry out place in Chatham MA. Seafood super fresh. Some of the best fish and chips I ever had. Lobster Roll was huge and very tasty. Same with clam roll. And the Clam Chowder was best I had on the Cape. Everything is made to order, so be prepared for a wait for your food. But it is well worth it. Only challenge is very limited parking. Had to park in downtown Chatham and take the shuttle. But then was able to explore Chatham. Overall, really great experience. Highly recommended.
