Chatham Pier Fish Market

What a great place. We got food at the market take-out window and took it up to the deck looking out over the ocean and watched sea lions play. We watched the unloading of two fishing boats. The food was fabulous! I had the scallop and bacon roll. The fish and chips were great, too.

The view is amazing! Seen lots of seals on the island across the inlet. A couple of seals came over and was right by the pier!! The kids loved the seals and docked fishing boats. The fresh seafood at the market was amazing. The blackened swordfish was the best!

This was the highlight of our trip to cape cod! Food was amazing, along with the views! We enjoyed watching the fishing boats come in and unload their catches while the MANY seals were swimming around looking for a snack. Highly recommend making a trip here! Side note- we got the clam chowder & lobster bisque as well and both were delicious and surprisingly not expensive.

Chatham Pier is a wonderful scenic area where the local fishermen deliver and unload their fresh catches of the day. It's fun to watch the birds and seals waiting for seafood scraps! There is also a nearby market where you can buy fresh and/or cooked seafood. We ordered the lobster bisque and giant hot buttered seafood rolls! I highly recommend stopping here -- it was the highlight of our day!

The lobster roll was more expensive than most other establishments we visited on the Cape, priced at $40. It was accompanied by fries and coleslaw. The lobster meat was of exceptional quality, however, the fries were mediocre and appeared to have been refrigerated. The establishment offers a variety of other seafood dishes, and the parking lot can become congested. There is also a seafood market on the premises where fresh lobster, fish, clams, and oysters can be purchased. In terms of whether I would return, I am hesitant due to the higher price point. Comparable lobster rolls can be found for an average of $30. Considering that we are located in Massachusetts, a state known for its lobster industry, the pricing seems excessive compared to other coastal regions.

Chatham Pier is a wonderful scenic area where the local fishermen come into the local processing plant on the mainland. The boats pull up to the dock and unload their catch of the day. There is also a nearby restaurant where you can purchase a large selection of fresh seafood and/or order it cooked too. It is outdoor seating only and beware, parking is limited so it maybe an issue when you arrive.

This little fish market is next to the fish pier so you know their stuff is fresh. We have been up and down the east coast to find these little places that sell seafood and this place by far was the best tasting fried seafood, best quantity and the best prices from the places we have been to so far. You place your order inside and wait outside for them to call your name. Your food is put in styrofoam container. Very casual. Limited outdoor bench seating to 5 or 6 benches. Parking is limited because alot of people visit the fish pier. We were on vacation from Florida and was staying in New Hampshire. We drove about 3 hours to get here with traffic. Sight seeing in the area. Is this the place to get a quick bite while on the cape? Definitely.

Absolutely amazing photos of not only the pier, but also of offloading seafood. If you love wild life, come look at the seals that come right up to the port
