★★★★☆ 4.0 Michael Palmer · Nov 2025

This was the first place we ate during our four day stay in Rockport and it didn't disappoint!!! My wife and I both ordered the Clam chowder and it was delicious. I ordered the Shrimp Scampi with a house salad and my wife had the Fish and chips. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meal and it was an abundant amount... However, the fact that when I asked for some bread I was brought a toasted brioche bun seemed a bit odd. Although the prices are fair, they should serve some sort of bread other than a hamburger bun for the price. The only other complaint was by my wife, who is British, REALLY didn't like the fact that the fish, in the fish and chips, came in pieces instead of filets. We're adults, we can cut our fish. When it comes in pieces, it's obvious that you are cutting corners and again,

We travelled 9,400 miles for fresh lobster, we are so so satisfied. Great place, had sports bar, great interior, great views of sunset if you come at right time, lobster main event was super duper awesome, great price, super delicious. So good, we ordered 3 lobsters. Wow, wow. Worth every mile travelled. Clam chowder, calamari was great. No chance to try the other dishes. Overall best place for lobster in New England.

The Fish Shack is a great spot with a beautiful view right by the bay. The food feels local and authentic, with fresh flavors that fit the coastal vibe. Perfect place for a relaxed meal while enjoying the scenery.

Couldn’t have asked for a better intro to the lobster roll game! soft, buttery bun, the tender claw meat, and the chilled lemonade, all hit the spot. didn’t have to wait long for the roll, and everyone there was welcoming!

★★★★★ 5.0 Jennifer McPherson · May 2025

Wound up here when the place we were going was too busy, boy did that work out in our favor! The clam chowder was delicious, the scallops tender and with a perfect amount of garlic and breadcrumbs, amazing fresh clams, and cole slaw was tasty too. Service was friendly and fast.
