We tried the crab cakes, stuffed clams, stuffed scallops, clam chowder, and warm lobster rolls (warm ones are made to order, and cold ones are available for grab-and-go from the refrigerator in the waiting area), and all the food was delicious and reasonably priced for the area. The stuffed scallops and stuffed clams were very large (they use large shells to stuff) and tasty, but you don't need to get both if you're torn about which one to go for because they taste very similar. The clam chowder was very light yet flavorful. The lobster rolls were very simple but had all the elements for a delicious lobster roll. Overall, the food made for a delicious last meal on the island. There's an outdoor area with picnic tables for people to enjoy their food. Tips: Call ahead to order. My order took about 40 minutes Areas for improvement: - I realllyyyy wish the waiting area was larger because standing space is limited and hard to tell - upon entry - whether someone is waiting in line to order or whether they're just waiting for their name to be called to pick up their food. I know the place just underwent a renovation and that this suggestion is not feasible - At one point, I was next in line but the 5 or so people packing up orders took forever to notice me. It seemed a little disorganized because nobody had any specific task (labeling, calling out names, packing orders, etc.); instead, the employees seemed to be doing a little bit of everything all at once. Meanwhile, my food had been ready for pick up for a while and I just needed to let an employee know I was there after placing a phone order - Priced online are impossible to find, so I attached the prices as of late September. I realize seafood is sold at the current market price but still

Honestly, a little disappointed. The food is fresh, but if you plan to order a cold lobster roll, they are pre made and you get it yourself out of the fridge? We wanted something made to order so we ordered the hot butter lobster roll, almost seems like those are premade also and just put, bun and all, in the microwave. The bun was so soggy it was mush right when we unwrapped it, inedible. We are asked for a fresh roll and transferred the lobster meat into the new roll. To the raw bar side, ordered a dozen oysters, this isn’t anything that larsens did but I just feel like it should be said how large these oyster were, I’m talking filled your mouth and had to chew for a while huge. We also ended up not eating most of them. I remember coming here years ago and it was a really great experience. The past 2 years I just feel like they could do better.

Travellers, Larsen fish market has a fantastic selection of fresh, locally sourced seafood. Everything is delicious and reasonably priced. When you walk in the door it smells like fresh seafood. This fish is right off the boat. If you are in menemsha harbor be sure to stop in to Larsen for a lovely seafood dinner. If you are looking for a meal they serve all sorts of meals. The lobster bisque is rich and delicious. The fish cakes are potato and cod cakes and they are very tasty. The stuffed quahogs are big and loaded with clams. The views can’t be beat. The food is good and the harbor and lobsterville town beach, across the inlet, are bucolic scenery as you eat your food. Check it out. We recommend. TLDR - fresh seafood off the boat.

I've had oysters and steamers from all over. I normally always get littlenecks because I think they're more tender than oysters and I usually get small sweet oysters for the same reason. Here I had the largest oysters of my life on their recommendation and I didn't regret it. They were by far the most tender oysters I ever had, same with the steamers we had. Just amazing seafood, I only wish they were opened later in the day for dinner because you have to go for lunch or get off the beach early in order to get here before they close on weekdays (close at 6). If you're on the vineyard this fish market needs to be worked into your plans for the trip.

Located in Menemsha Bay on the Vineyard, Larsens fish market speaks for itself. For fresh local seafood this is the place. Why were we here? One word, OYSTAHs (oysters) lol. All fresh seafood is at Market price or they have special for oysters, usually dozen for $30. We had half dozen of Katana Bays and Menemsha Spearpoint oysters, both were great but I did prefer Spearpoint. They were so good we decided to order another dozen, this time just Spearpoint. Wife was REALLY HAPPY 😊.

Hands down best lobster roll on the island. Eat the warm one straight away otherwise roll gets soggy. Amazing oysters also. It’s worth the drive over and the taste is lovely.
