Southold Fish Market — Restaurant in Town of Southold

Good Food, just not the best I have had, and I have eaten seafood extensively up and down the East Coast.

Food: Our adventure off-season spared us the agony of long queues, which was a relief. The Warm Lobster Roll was brimming with succulent lobster, albeit a tad steeply priced at $33. The coleslaw was a pleasant surprise with its delightful hint of pineapple. However, the fresh-cut French Fries missed the mark - if you're going fresh, make 'em crispy! And yes it is possible with the right potatoes and process. The Local Clam Basket delivered on freshness, though some clams were a bit gummy from the breading, and yes, those fries again! The Onion Rings were tasty, but $12 for a side? Pricing puzzled me a bit, despite understanding the rising costs.

Service: Efficient, yes. Memorable? Not particularly. Counter service kept things moving, but there were no standout moments—positive or negative.

Vibe: Picture a laid-back coastal spot, clean and comfy but lacking that extra oomph. It's not exactly a destination in itself, but it serves its purpose without any major hiccups.

So there you have it—a culinary escapade with highs, lows, and everything in between. If I were invited to go, I wouldn't turn it down, just not sure I would make a...

Southold Fish Market is a true fresh seafood market. They have many different types of fresh fish for sale that you can purchase to take home and cook. Every item in the market section looked fresh and appealing. They also operate a kitchen area with both indoor and outdoor seating. You can order prepared meals, seafood baskets, appetizers, soups, salads and sandwiches to eat right there or order take-out to bring home. Be sure to check the blackboard for daily specials. I recently ordered their lobster roll which came with home made french fries and coleslaw. The lobster roll had large chunks of lobster meat in it and was delicious. The home made french fries were crunchy and also delicious. They also offer a few meals " From The Land" that would appeal to anyone including children. Southold Fish Market is a great spot to grab a quick meal, order take-out or purchase fresh fish. They are on Main Road (Route 25) and easy to get to. There is ample parking and seating, but it does get busy during peak times, especially during the summer. The staff are friendly, helpful and efficient. The atmosphere is casual and it is...

We have a range of seafood markets on the North Fork. This one is my favorite of the group. You know when the locals love a place it must be good. The selection of fish and shellfish is always changing as it arrives off the boats or is brought in from the days catch. The staff is always very helpful and available for questions on serving portions or preparation. If you time it correctly you can see the shell fisherman schucking the highly sought after Peconic Bay Scallops. This region has been known historically for the Peconic Bay Scallops and Oysters. If you do a little searching on the internet you can see how many Oyster Companies use to be based in Greenport Village in the 1930's-1940s. Don't miss the experience of spending a day out on the beach or at one of the many local vineyards and then heading back to the house to dine on local seafood with a local bottle of wine and local produce from the farmstands. This is what North Fork Living...
