The Shipwright's Daughter

The Best Restaurants In Mystic, Connecticut 2024 - Mystic - The Infatuation

"You go to Shipwright’s Daughter for every kind of seafood except lobster rolls—for that, head over to Red 36 or Dogwatch. The rotating menu is pretty out there for a small town, with things like flavorful bouillabaisse made from a base of invasive green crabs, crispy local fried whiting with a crunch you’ll dream of for months, and squid ink spaghetti with mussels and sugar kelp. The wine list is pretty great, with more interesting options than you’ll find elsewhere around town, like reds from Austria and natural oranges from Portugal. Enjoy all of this in one of the prettiest rooms in Mystic, with big blue velvet circle booths that are perfect for a double date with your best friends." - tanya edwards
