Angler Fish Market & Chowder

"So happy we stumbled upon this gem! They sell fresh seafood at a counter, and have a few tables and a small bar, all centered around the very small open kitchen where everything is cooked fresh to order. We had fresh oysters, $1 on this Wednesday special, a ‘fisher man’s special’ consisting of huge scallops, shrimp, clams and fries, and another special of the day which was a 1.5lb fresh lobster, $31. The two of us who got lobster had Cole slaw and vegetables, both were fresh and homemade, and you could tell and taste the difference. Deserts are HUGE, also homemade. I give a 4star on atmosphere only because it is a little loud with the kitchen and the small quarters. If you are around the area and can stop in, this is a don’t miss in Massachusetts!"

"I have had the pleasure of dining at Angler Fish Market & Chowder on multiple occasions, and each experience has been nothing short of delightful. It's become my go-to destination for seafood in the city. Their Wednesday special of $1 raw oysters is an unmissable deal, though it's sad to note that the $1 shrimp cocktail is no longer on the menu. However, even at its regular price of $24 a dozen, their shrimp cocktail remains a compelling offering. The shrimp are exquisitely prepared—crunchy yet chewy, offering that ideal textural balance seafood aficionados yearn for. But let's not forget the Lobster Alfredo—a masterclass in moderation. The light, creamy cheese sauce is beautifully balanced, allowing the flavors to shine without overwhelming the palate. Served with garlic toast for dipping, this dish offers a delightful pause, allowing your taste buds to reset and prepare for the next gastronomic adventure. The Pesto Shrimp and Scallop with linguine is another standout. The Pesto Genovese sauce serves as a light, creamy backdrop, accentuating the natural flavors of the perfectly cooked scallops and crunchy shrimp. It's a harmonious blend of ingredients that coalesce into a truly unforgettable dining experience. Lastly, their Fried Calamari with a spicy twist offered a sweet and spicy flavor profile that was interesting, albeit not my personal preference. Next time, I'll opt for the regular version to better suit my taste. In summary, Angler Fish Market & Chowder is a culinary gem, offering a diverse range of seafood dishes that are consistently well-executed and reasonably priced. It's a place that not only meets expectations but often exceeds them, providing a dining experience that keeps me coming back for more. Also all servers were so friendly! Will be back soon!"

"We ate here last Saturday. I work in a restaurant myself so I notice the small things. Great little seafood spot. Our server, who was also the bartender, was simply fantastic (I feel terrible for not recalling her name). Drinks were tasty (the triple berry mule was soooo good), food was great - I am a chowder “snob” and I highly recommend theirs. Prices were what you would expect for seafood. We will definitely be back soon :)"

"What a wonderful discovery! A menu with so many great options, and a very hospitable staff. Seating so close you can talk to the chef and really enjoy the whole experience. One note, the chef cooks with lots of love!!"

"On the recommendation of friends, I went here for what I thought would be just a dozen $1 oysters and a glass of wine.... well those 1$ oysters turned into 2dozen oysters, seafood chowdah, crab cakes, swordfish w/linguine, wine & Lemon Italian Creme Cake.... the oysters where fresh, briney and sweet, the seafood chowdah was excellent (I am no stranger to chowdahs either) filled with seafood, creamy and a real good balance of flavors. The crab cakes had a real good amount of crab and not loaded with fillers. It was served with chipotle aioli, that was ok, it was just to much on the plate, less aioli next time. The swordfish, to die for... cooked to perfection and melted in my mouth! The linguine was cooked just right. The wine came in 2 sizes, 6oz & 9oz, go for the larger size, more wine for your $. The dessert, very good! It is a good stocked small bar area with a TV overhead. The space is interesting, long as opposed to wide. Beth, our server, was great! Friendly, engaging, helpful with the menu and I notice her great attitude toward everyone in the restaurant. This restaurant has a kids menu and is handicap accessible. There was a wait, a busy Wednesday! You can see the chefs cooking as it is an open concept. This is also a fish market, although I did not buy any for take away, it all looked quite fresh. I believe they also have GF items on Sundays. Every Wednesday & Sundays.. $1 oysters.... Yes Please! Highly recommend."
