14 Best Seafood Restaurants near West Bath

“Just a simple five star review: Always fresh, good prices, friendly and knowledgable about everything in the shop. Plenty of lobsters and usually a couple different kinds of salmon and other fillets.Occasional specials like smoked fish and other delicious things from the sea.We recently bought dozens of super fresh local Oysters there ($1 to $1.50 each) and they packed them with ice and lemon so we could shuck them on the beach.“

“In town for a 3 day music festival and had a craving for seafood. Sorry I couldn't order everything at once. Had the haddock platter and a seafood chowder. I should have read the order taker better as I ordered clam chowder but they were out so I asked for the seafood chowder. They hesitated when I said it. The fish platter was great. Fresh and crispy. The chowder seemed to be the“

“Fantastic atmosphere, food and service! Not a single complaint. We had farm to board charcuterie, bread & butter, squash soup, fish in paper, the duck and autumn pasta. Everything was spectacular. They did a champagne toast for my birthday.“

“My entire family loves this place. We have probably picked up take out from here 100 times and we will order from them 100 times in the future too! Everything here tastes extraordinary fresh and cooked to order. There's nothing on the menu I wouldn't recommend. The one time something came out wrong, the owner met me on the sidewalk with a bottle of wine and immediately replaced my order. Can't say enough about them! Outstanding service, amazing food, great family ownership!“

“Good stuff! Wanted to try some famous Maine seafood and this hit the spot. The bread they use for the buns on the lobster BLT was amazing, probably my favorite thing I tried here was that lobster BLT, more than the lobster roll even. The lobster bahn mi was also great. Lovely people who work there as well.“

“The clam hunter is by far the best oysters. Steamers were great good times made a good friend of mine eat 120 oysters 10 pounds of steamers farted up a storm, but it was good good times won’t be disappointed!!!!!!!!! Friendly as well, down Maine“

She gave us great recs and shared all the fun upcoming events that will be happening. Thanks Jacelyn! We can't wait to return!“

“Chefs seeking to create within the context of #Maine Coastal Cuisine must respect entrenched expectations while at the same time seeking opportunities to introduce elements of surprise, and occasional open rebellion. Such is definitely the case at Blue, where the playfully inventive talent of Chef Esau Crosby brings unexpected twists to familiar Maine staples such as grilled swordfish and mignonette sauce. On a recent evening, the marinated & grilled swordfish was served with an inspired housemade ketchup based in retrieving the condiments’ pre-Heinz history, while the punchy & peppery mignonette offered fresh counterpoint, rather than drab camouflage, for a half dozen perfectly shucked and presented Robinhood Cove oysters. The music mix in the dining room offered a subtle clue to what was going on in the kitchen, offering an unusual (for Maine restaurants!) mix of jazz ballads from John Coltrane to Billie Holiday turning familiar tunes inside out, thereby making them new again. There was something both slightly sad and slyly humorous about seeing the same ole “Garden Salad" (yawn) listed as a daily "special", while from the regular seasonal menu we thoroughly enjoyed playful riffs on beet salad, here served as a colorful composition with pea shoots, cashews and shaved fennel; and in a second salad, baby greens were brought into perfect harmony with roasted local apples. The wine list was equally as playful. Yes, there were the inevitable California Pinot Noirs, Chardonnays and Cab Savs (double yawn), yet we were pleasantly surprised by the presence of an excellent Loess Grüner Veltliner and a delightful Argiolas Armentino from Sardinia. With regret, we must report the one sour note for our otherwise memorable evening at Blue, and that is the clumsy performance of the two Grey Havens (triple yawn) Innkeepers, who would be better advised to let the excellent front-of-house staff do their thing unencumbered by their bossy & boorish attempts at conducting, sort of like like beginner tuba players barging into a jam session among seasoned pros. In sum, we will happily return to Blue for as long as Chef Crosby performs at the heart of the mix. As for the Inn, well, the front porch does offer a lovely view of coves and offshore islands. For us, that will be "Inn" enough!“

“Food was good. Service was fair. The server came back with more water with good timing. Unfortunately there was an unpleasant aroma when we were there. Prices were also a bit steep. The river view was nice.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free was available with an up charge.“

“The crab wagons were homemade and delicious af! The lobster stew was great too! We also had the lobster roll with chips! You can get fries too but chips just gives your the crunch satisfaction you need at the end of a meal! Try the Atlantic Brewing company Bar Harbor Blueberry Ale! It's so good! They have a pretty cool brewery in Bar Harbor too! Our waiter was really nice and gave great recommendations! This was one of our favorite places outside of Portland, Maine! Can't wait to come back!Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options available!Parking: Lots of parking!Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly!Wheelchair accessibility: No steps!“

“We have been coming to stay in a cabin in Phippsburg for years, and I knew there had to be a way to get fresh, local seafood at a reasonable price. Now I know where! The sisters will steam lobsters for about half what we'd pay in a restaurant, and then you go pick them up and bring them home. They also have other merchandise available, including crackers and pickers and hats. But WOW was it good lobster, and at a price I'm very happy to pay. I'm sure we'll be back before we go home again. Along the way to their house is a little farmstand that has everything else you need for a lobster dinner. They will also sell them live, but I am way too squeamish for that!“

“This is about as Maine as you can get. From the history of this restaurant to how it's presented, it's Maine. I'm very picky about my seafood since my grandparents are from Chebeague Island and I would get seafood literally 20 minutes out of the ocean, since their siblings were in the seafood industry. That being said, the seafood at this place was excellent, and very reasonable prices considering the current cost of quality seafood. The service was great, they had a very unique selection of drinks, dishes, and awesome specials listed throughout the week. Definitely want to go again!“

“My husband got the hot lobster roll and I got the hot lobster BLT. We’ve been trying lobster rolls all weekend and they were all pretty “meh”. These were so yummy. Sandy was a great waitress and so friendly! It was a great experience all around!“

“My grad school friends and I are in town for a reunion and they were all raving about the $20 lobster rolls having gone to multiple other places for lobster around Harpswell. Unanimously they seemed to agree on the lobster rolls and clam cakes.I decided to get the chicken tender basket. Overall, the price is a bit steep for 3-4 chicken tenders and some fries at $15 (I added a can of Pepsi ($2) and upgraded the regular fries to sweet potato fries ($1) so my total ended up being $18 for what in most places is like $10. Still, the chicken was tender and the fries weren’t bad. I did order the honey mustard to dip the chicken in but it tasted less like honey mustard and more like honey mustard.Overall it was decent, just a bit pricy. It is a shack on the side of the road with approximately 4-5 picnic tables for seating and I believe no bathrooms although I’m not sure since I didn’t have to use one.Parking: There’s a very small section of land dedicated to parking, but it’s just a roadside shack so it has limited parking.“
