Menemsha Fish Market — Restaurant in Chilmark

Everything looked so perfect. Old fishing village vibes, dunes, fishing boats, lobster traps, and several fish markets along the piers. I was imagining $7/lb Atlantic cod, $5/lb lobster and $20 lobster roll stuffed with huge portions of lobster meats. Well, let me admit I was wrong.

Even though I couldn’t complain anything about the taste (it was quite delicious) I was shocked by how small was that $29 lobster roll was. Contracting to many previous reviews here, this place is perhaps a tourist trap. I wouldn’t be surprised if it is and the owner is entitled to maximize his/her profit of course.

The soup was delicious and the lobster roll had the best lobster I have ever had. PLEASE do not miss this place. If you are looking for wonderful seafood, this...

Stopped by here for some takeout and was seriously impressed! The lobster roll was packed with fresh, tender lobster meat on a perfectly toasted bun. The clam chowder was creamy with a rich flavor.

On top of the great food, the people working there were super friendly and helpful. It’s always a bonus when the service matches the quality of the meal. Definitely looking forward to going back and trying more from their menu! Highly recommend for anyone craving...
