“ Absolutely worth the wait!! I'm actively drooling just thinking about the lobster roll I ordered! Staff were super nice, helpful and patient with me when I couldn't decide what to order. 11/10 would recommend! ”
“ I absolutely loved this place! If you’re a seafood lover, it’s a must try! I loved the menu, they had halibut and haddock in different styles. We got halibut and chips and the portion was so generous, enough for two people! The fish was fresh and fried with a nice batter and served with crispy fries. Will definitely come back! ”
“ I would say it was overall pretty good, we were just full from eating lobster and calamari, that we had to leave for crab cakes for later. The reviews made me sceptical to come and dine here, but our portions were seasoned well, filling portions, fast service (despite massive queue which can discourage people to wait, we waited like 10mins or so, not bad) Keep in mind it is a busy area, so difficult to find places to sit down, overall I would say quite satisfying for this fast ‘sea’food but if you looking for fine dining, it’s not a place for you. ”
“ A lively, and often busy establishment. But the queue went down quickly for me. Good place for seafood that is fresh and affordable. Came here twice. The grilled halibut was generous, excellent char and not over cooked. The clam chowder was tasty, deep in flavor, and warming The lobster roll was good. It's not chunks of lobster, but you can tell its lobster meat still. Really crammed into the brioche bun. Will probably have it again. ”
“ There’s often a long line but the service is pretty quick! We got the lobster roll and fish and chips. We were scared that the battered fish would have a lot of breading, but we were pleasantly surprised with the amount of fish we got! The fish was nice a crisp on the outside and flaky on the inside. Fries were okay but not good enough to finish. The lobster roll tasted fresh but I thought lacked a bit of seasoning. It was nice that we were able to opt for a side salad with the lobster roll instead of another serving of their fries. For both our dishes, our total was around 47 which isn’t bad! Seating can be hard to find since the market itself can get quite crowded. ”
“ My new favourite crab sandwich place, but I can't tell you how great it is, or I won't be able to get a seat, and the lineup for ordering will be around the block. My last order took nearly 30 seconds from when I paid until I got a sandwich. Ridiculous! So much room for improvement. ”
“ Picked up the lobster roll, fish & chips, and grilled calamari and everything was excellent. The lobster roll was fresh, buttery, and packed with meat. The fish was golden, crispy, and flaky inside, and the calamari was grilled to perfection—tender with great charred flavor. There’s no dine-in service—just grab and go—but the staff are quick and efficient. Even after the ride home, everything held up beautifully. If you’re after solid seafood without the fuss, this place delivers. Definitely coming back. ”
“ We ordered the grilled calamari with salad, and a cup of lobster bisque. The grilled calamari is fresh, I love the grilled taste of it! Also it’s big portion, enough for 2 people. The lobster bisque is perfect as well, definitely recommend. We would like to try the grilled/fried halibut next time everything on the menu looks good!!! ”
