Essex Seafood

"Just as good as the "big name" fish shacks that draw in tourists, without the line. The batter could use a little seasoning, but nothing a bit of salt and pepper can't fix. The portions are generous, and the fish portions are huge. Definitely would recommend."

"Wow. I've had many, and I mean MANY, fried clams in my life and these were some of the best I've ever had. In my top 3. I can't forget to talk about the tartar sauce. It is almost as important as the food. I mean really it can make or break a meal. And, well, it's phenomenal. Absolutely perfect"

"This is our new go to seafood place. The portions are plentiful, tastes great and the prices aren't too outrageous"

"Outstanding seafood and kids meals were delicious. Baked haddock boat w/ onion rings were great. Both The fried calamari and clam chowder soup were the best I’ve ever had. The kids chicken fingers were great too, lightly battered and fried."

"I ordered the Fisherman (Seafood) Plate. The price was a little hefty 38.99, no local clams due to Red Tide in the area, the ones served were from Maine and were delicious and safe to eat. The food was fantastic and well worth the price. There was so much food on this plate. It was loaded with clams, scallops, shrimp, haddock, fries and onion rings. Everything was perfectly cooked and was piping hot when we got it. I would suggest sharing a plate because I had a lot leftover. The staff was very nice and the building was very clean. I would definitely recommend this if you are looking for some amazing New England Seafood but do not want to wait in the long lines of other more well known establishments. Essex Seafood taste better and is a more pleasant dining experience."
