"What’s major about Belle Isle is that it gives Bostonians access to classic New England seafood shack food without sitting on Rte. 1 for hours on end. When you get to the Winthrop location, you’ll be greeted by a big plastic shark hanging from the ceiling, a retail counter selling fresh cod filets and oysters, and harborside views. Belle Isle has one of the best lobster rolls in Boston and plates upon plates of lightly fried or grilled seafood. We’re partial to the clams with bellies, and if onion rings are your thing, we can’t endorse these enough." - dan secatore, tanya edwards
