Newport Seafood Market

The oysters showed obvious signs of decomposition; out of 24, half smelled bad and had a creamy texture. We couldn't eat them and had to throw them away. They were the only thing supposedly fresh, as the rest of the fish was frozen. Terrible place, don't waste your money.

The welcome was pretty average "no smile" but the staff was helpful and answered my questions clearly. I bought two live lobsters from their tank, and they were in perfect condition. I also picked up some smoked salmon, which was excellent quality. Prices are similar to other places. Overall, a good experience. I recommend it.

Didn’t have time to take a pic, the lobster roll was in my belly before you could say chowdah. Which brings me to my next point, the chowder was exceptional!! I was on a work trip to Boston, I heard about this place and made the drive. Let me tell ya, I would do that drive everyday of the week and twice on Sunday’s for that delicious meal!! Welcoming staff, Great food. Outstanding.

I went in looking for some inspiration for a fun meal and after talking with Jonathan, found some really fun ingredients to play with like Wasabi Salt, a seasoned octopus, a fantastic robust seafood stock, and fresh fish. Also tried his twist on cocktail sauce that really turns the conventional horseradish sauce on its head— it was sweet and a bit tangy and refreshing for those who don’t like a lot of spice like kids.

I don’t know how they stay in business. I went in to buy shrimp. They had one size with out a price. When I asked the young man behind the counter what size it is, he didn’t know the size or the price. I honestly should have walked out, but they were my only choice since Anthony’s Seafood is closed on Wednesday. Anthony’s is the only good choice on Aquidneck Island!
