Reviews for Menemsha Fish Market in Chilmark, MA
I had a hot lobster roll. I took it out back, sat on a bench made of weathered wooden planks and lobster cages and enjoyed a... clear blue sky, placid water, seagull antics (I think I saw a brown pelican hanging out on a rock but I didn't have fieldglasses and i could be wrong) and had a great nostalgia moment with the yacht rock coming from the open kitchen window. Afantastic moment. Read more
Stay away from the lobster nachos. Very pricey (over $30) but that would have been okay if all the wonderful seafood didn't... taste like Mexican spices. The innate flavor of the seafood was completely overpowered by the spices. What a shame. The clamchowder was okay and the lobster bisque was meh. Also, we brought it down to the beach because the tables outside were downwindfrom the dumpsters. Read more
The staff was extremely friendly especially during the busy time right before sunset. And the food was outstanding ????
Came here on July 4th for the most delicious dinner after cruising around the island. The lobster dinner, lobster roll & chowder... were amazing!! SO fresh and the prices were very fair, it?s BYOB and loved the laid back atmosphere of eating outside lookingright out to the docks & fishing boats. Can?t wait to visit again ???? Read more
The inability to build or alter this area in any substantial way was a brilliant move. I love this area. Great place to get... excellent seafood. Nothing fancy but all quality. True New England. Recommend going out back, byob, and sit by the water, on oldcrates and eat your oysters or have clam chowder. If that doesn't suit you, got to the beach a couple of hundred feet away orhang in your car and enjoy the view. Not for the prissy but there are plenty of those places to cater to that on the island.

Amazing chowder and lobster rolls. For some reason the ?other seafood place? next door had a long line and Menemsha Fish did... not. Both are great but I think Menemsha is slightly better. Great prices (for MV), good service, fantastic location and Ihighly recommend! It?s takeout only or seafood for cooking at home. There are also benches by the fishing boats out back,jetties and a beach to eat your delicious lobster rolls and chowder on! Magnificent town with great views as well. Read more
300 year old; still active fishing village. Had to get some seafood. Being from New England it has to be a cold lobster roll. It... was delicate yet perfectly balanced with celery to Mayo and lobster ratio. We were on a tight schedule so we couldn?t exposemore and I wish we did. Read more
This is the best fish market on the island. Everything is fresh, especially the lobsters, any size you want. Then there are... prepared and precooked items as well as made to order plates. Prices are better too. The staff are very friendly andknowledgeable. That gave us a quick primer on what types of lobsters to order, the best season and what to look for to get thebest lobster. The smoke bluefish pate is excellent with roasted bread. The lobster fresh and just. The oysters are the freshestwe've tasted, large, very juicy and delicious. The price is unbeatable. They are locally caught from Edgartown so don't missthem. Read more
