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. Perhaps, the line cook was having a bad day and someone - that would be me - walked in 10 minutes before closing and unappreciatively prepared the lobster roll. It was quite tasty so I can’t advise you against patronizing this market, but you may want to ‘check out’ other people’s lobster roll before placing an order if small portioned lobster roll could potentially bother you.

This is the best fish market on the island. Everything is fresh, especially the lobsters, any size you want. Then there are prepared and precooked items as well as made to order plates. Prices are better too. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. That gave us a quick primer on what types of lobsters to order, the best season and what to look for to get the best lobster. The smoke bluefish pate is excellent with roasted bread. The lobster fresh and just. The oysters are the freshest we've tasted, large, very juicy and delicious. The price is unbeatable. They are locally caught from Edgartown so don't miss them.

The inability to build or alter this area in any substantial way was a brilliant move. I love this area. Great place to get excellent seafood. Nothing fancy but all quality. True New England. Recommend going out back, byob, and sit by the water, on old crates and eat your oysters or have clam chowder. If that doesn't suit you, got to the beach a couple of hundred feet away or hang in your car and enjoy the view. Not for the prissy but there are plenty of those places to cater to that on the island.

So was advised to go here by New Zealand Bill. I met him in a bar in Edgartown drinking Guinness. Always trusting a man and his friends who play drinking games with stout i headed down eh next day. It’s on the docks, they load in the lobsters off the boats and cook them there. I only had the Lobster roll, hot with butter, but it was delicious. One of the best I have tasted. Sat on a concrete pole eating off a cable drum and fighting off the seagulls. Couldn’t have enjoyed it more.

Amazing chowder and lobster rolls. For some reason the “other seafood place” next door had a long line and Menemsha Fish did not. Both are great but I think Menemsha is slightly better. Great prices (for MV), good service, fantastic location and I highly recommend! It’s takeout only or seafood for cooking at home. There are also benches by the fishing boats out back, jetties and a beach to eat your delicious lobster rolls and chowder on! Magnificent town with great views as well.

Ok, we had a bad experience at another local fish market and decided to give Menemsha Fish Market a go. We are so happy we did, we ordered the hot butter lobster roll, bun was toasted nicely and it came pre-buttered but wasn’t mushy, didn’t seem microwaved like some other places and had great taste. Not a lot of seating but right on the dock and a quick walk to the beach. We will definitely be back!
