Chatham Pier Fish Market

Lobster rolls are SO FRESH and DELICIOUS. Lovely snack in possibly the best location for the summers. Watched some fishermen unload fishes whilst eating the fresh lobster rolls with the fries.

We absolutely loved Chatham Pier Fish Market — the food was outstanding and the setting made it even more memorable. You walk inside, place your order, and the food is handed over through a pickup window, which gives it that casual, authentic fish-market feel. The seafood is as fresh as it gets. The fishing boats are literally a few feet away, unloading their catch. A couple of favorites here are the lobster roll, chowder, and fried fish combos. The portions are generous and the flavors top notch. The place itself is modest and no-frills, with picnic tables or benches outside where you enjoy your meal while taking in harbor views. Because it’s on the pier, you’re right by the water, with gulls overhead and fishing activity happening all around. Restaurant Guru Parking can be tricky in

The freshest fish & shrimp was phenomenal. It came with a few choices of sides. The slaw and fries were excellent as well. It’s a busy place but worth it! It doesn’t have any indoor seating but lots of table and chairs very close to the market. It was cool and windy the day we were there and opted to eat it in our vehicle. We were able to watch a seal close from the pier area up top.

One of the best lobster rolls I’ve ever had! 🦞 The lobster was super fresh with a natural sweetness, and the mayo was just right present but not overpowering. The brioche bun? Toasted to absolute perfection. I also got the clam chowder. It was lighter and less creamy than I’m used to, but still so flavorful that I enjoyed every bite. We sat outside at the picnic tables and looked for seals at the pier afterwards. Didn’t see any so can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful views and a great way to see the fishing industry in action. The restaurant near the pier is casual and excellent. Parking is a premium so be ready to wait during busy seasons.
