Not sure why I have not reviewed this restaurant before. A complete oversight on my part. We've been coming here for years. The other night we had yet another fabulous dinner. The service is always spot on and the bartender even remembers what we have! I often have the fish & chips. Because it's really THAT delicious. Tonight also tried their avocado appetizer which was scrumptious. We've had many pasta fisher here and a burger. The restaurant is owned by the Formica family and they are always onsite. They are great community members and contribute much to the area. I just feel good coming here to support a local business that does so much for the community. If you've not been here yet, you need to come because it's an awesome restaurant. I almost forgot, they're a fresh seafood market as well do you can even buy fresh fish to take home and add to your leftovers because the portions are huge! More...

Food was pretty good I had the tuna burger medium rare and it was satisfying Just go light on the wasabi sauce, can be a little salty

Great clear broth chowder - sit outside if its nice, inside can get cramped if it's busy. They are also a fish market, prices are usually comparable and the food is fresh. Service has always been excellent no issues there,. Our last waitress was Shebony and she took great care of us. More...

We have just moved to the area and when my Mom and Step Dad came into town we stopped here for a late lunch. When you first walk in you enter the fish market portion of the building. There are plenty of fresh fish options and already prepared foods that you can purchase. The prices are a little steep ($36 a lb for lobster salad for example) but not overwhelming expensive. We had a party of 6 so we had to wait a few minutes to be seated because there are only a few big tables. Not a big deal at all. The hostess and the ladies working in the market area are great! They let my son touch a lobster and were patient and kind with him. When we got seated we ordered appetizers. Calamari, calm fritters, and shrimp and swordfish "wings". The calamari was the best calamari that I've ever had. Perfectly cooked and seasoned, the batter was light and airy and there was a hefty portion to share! The clam fritters were underwhelming, you couldn't taste the clam so it was like eating a spongy biscuit. The "wings" had great flavor and we really enjoyed the swordfish. I personally didn't get a shrimp one because there were only 3 in our portion but my family who did get one said they were good! For entrees our table had a kids fish and chips (the only seafood thing on the kids menu which was weird for a seafood restaurant) fried haddock dinner, wild salmon dinner, lobster roll, and calm strips. We all got creamy chowder as well. The soup was watery, almost like they just added a splash of cream to the clear soup. The celery flavor was a little overwhelming but overall not a terrible soup. The haddock was cooked perfectly and once again had great flavor. The wild salmon left a lot of be desired for the price. For $24 I was expecting a piece of fish that had that great salmon flavor. Unfortunately, that was not what I got. The fries were good however! The lobster roll was big and apperently was great for the price ($20). The calm strips were perfectly fried and the portion size was huge. They were not rubbery at all! Overall the food is a solid 3. Things were hit and miss but the things that were a hit were really good! The quality is definitely there for most of the menu items that we tried. Where this place earns stars is the service! Everyone we encountered were friendly and helpful. It was so nice to have such lovely service. Overall I think we will be back occasionally to get more calamari and possibly explore the menu some more. More...

I attended a party catered by Flanders, the food and staff was amazing. As a result I had them cater my moms birthday. The menu and staff were different but equally exceptional. I would highly recommend them for any event! From burgers to steak tips, from chowder to swordfish it is all amazing. More...

What a fabulous spot just down the street from our campground!! Extensive and impressive menu, as well as a great beer, wine, and cocktail list. So many fresh and prepared things to choose from in the market!! We will surely be back...at least weekly! More...

The amount of good reviews is pretty telling already, but I still feel obliged to write this review to show my appreciation of how tasty the food is. The claim strips, stuffed shrimp, steamed muscles, every item we ordered totally blown us away. Of all the seafood restaurants we've been to, this one is no doubt the best. Will definitely go back even though we live in Boston. More...

We had our wedding reception at Flanders Fish Market. It was small, only six of us but Amber never missed a beat! She was attentive but didn't hover, answered all of our questions and we thoroughly enjoyed her easy-going spirit. The food was of course INCREDIBLE! We know where to get great seafood and have for years...that's why we chose FFM for our special day! More...

What a great dinner after a day on the boat. 2 Parents and a tired kindergartrner, waited a couple minutes. We got super lucky and had Brittany for a waitress, she was brilliant! !! Everyone was friendly and happy. The whole belly clams and boullabaise were awesome. The kids meals come in adorable boats, with fruit! Great food, great atmosphere, perfect end to a perfect day!!!

The very best. People come from all over to eat at the famous Flanders Fish Market. Everything is fresh and delicious... but it’s not too fancy. Cappy and crew keep it family friendly. Whether is casual fish & chips and lobster rolls to the meals that are fit for a king/queen, you can’t go wrong. More...
