Not enough words to describe what outstanding service and food they sell here. You would be mistaken if you purchased anywhere else but here. We bought the freshest seafood here on 3 different days, and we were only here for one week! Once bought lobsters and oysters to do at our rental, later in the week bought just oysters, but the best was on our last day (yesterday), when I went in the morning to bring home oysters and lobsters for my son and daughter. Got to the market a half hour before they opened, but manager DJ welcomed me in and served me himself. We had a fantastic talk about our backgrounds, and he was patient in explaining the 3 different types of oysters I was buying (the past two times I got Chathams, this time took home a sampler of Cotuits, Wellfleet, and Buxburm). He then packed them, along with the 4 lobsters, with ice to make the 5 hour trip back to NJ. Needless to say, my kids were overwhelmed by the flavor and freshness of our dinner last night. My only regret is not bringing some tuna home as well for tonight's dinner - what they had there yesterday was of such a beautiful color that is rare to find. But know that it's not just the fresh seafood, it was the entire staff that just made our vacation something to talk about for years. As I said to DJ yesterday, the highest complement I can give them (besides these words) is..."I'll be back!"

We stopped at the pier at around 3.30 pm, which turned out to be a great time to see lots of seals and sea birds as they surrounded the fishing boats, which came in to unload their fresh catch. Even though I’m from Cape Ann, I have not previously gotten such an up-close look of some of the fishermen’s chores. From the pier above, which was not crowded, people can watch how fish are unloaded, placed on scales, send down a metal ramp into huge boxes and covered with ice. The seals and seagulls put on a show begging for fish. It was such a fun experience!

The seafood here could not get any fresher and the menu is solid. There is always a line for takeout and don’t count on getting one of the picnic tables located nearby, but if you can take it home and open a bottle of bubbly with your blackened swordfish sandwich or lemonade with your lobster roll, you are in for a real treat. They know how to cook what is on the menu. The scallops were incredible.
