Off The Hook - Review - Mystic - Mystic - The Infatuation

"When a seafood market opens a restaurant, you know the fish and shellfish are going to be quality. That is indeed true for Off The Hook, which is a counter-service spot in downtown Mystic from the J&R Seafood team. They have a pretty wide selection: fried halibut sandwiches with crispy lettuce and tangy tartar, poke bowls with ruby red tuna, and a flight of three small lobster rolls. It’s a gift for the indecisive lobster lover as you get one hot and buttery, one cold with chives and mayo, and even one that’s tempura style. Take it with you back to your boat, the park, or your back deck, and know that they deliver to the local day sail, the Agria. photo credit: Lisa Nichols photo credit: Lisa Nichols photo credit: Lisa Nichols photo credit: Lisa Nichols Pause Unmute" - Tanya Edwards

Superbly fresh seafood from local boats presented in both classic and creative ways. A divine lobster roll trio of classic butter, lemon aioli, and tempura with spicy mayo is the coastal flavor bomb of my dreams! Pure heaven! Sensational mini fritters are packed with fresh, large chunks of clam, scallop, or shrimp for a perfect walking snack. Beer battered cod fish and chips are cleverly cut into “finger” shapes to make outdoor dining easier and the hand cut fries are divine. I brought home a classic tuna poke bowl for dinner but shrimp or lobster salad poke bowls are all completely customizable. The smash burger with hand cut fries was messy but also delicious. Don't miss this mid-day stop as they are open 11am-6pm on the corner of West Main and Pearl Streets. Curb delivery and cute mercy too.

We had an order of two hot lobsters rolls, clam fritters and a bowl of NE clam chowder. The lobster rolls were packed with fresh lobster and the bread was super fresh and toasted with butter on both sides. The clam fritters were supposed to be loaded with clam bits but that was not the case. There were scant little pieces but they were few and far between. The NE Clam chowder was also supposed to be loaded with bits of clam and bacon but it was nothing more than potato chowder. The lobster rolls were amazing but I would not order the clam chowder or the fritters again.

Stopped in for a quick bite and we were not disappointed! I always try a lobster roll on all our trips if we’re on the coast and this one was sooooo good. We were also pleasantly surprised by how good the fries are—we got the malt vinegar aioli for dipping and it was delicious! They’ve only been open a few weeks but they’re killing it. Would love to try one of their poke bowls on our next visit, I bet they’re good too. The owner and his employees were super friendly and welcoming. We had a nice time and we were stuffed when we left! We’ll be back next year!

Great lunch at Off The Hook. Had the ‘Strami Sammy’ special of Pastrami Spiced Halibut, Green Caraway Coleslaw, housemade Russian Dressing & Swiss on marble Rye. Absolutely delicious. Chose the Nashville Hot Halibut Sammy as well. The hot honey glaze on the crispy fried fish….c’mon!! Combined with the pimento cheese & pickles, this thing slaps 😂. We decided to be gluttonous and try the fries ( because it smelled so good in there) They reminded us of Sunday dinner 😋. Rich flavor, crispy and seasoned well. You just do not get that tasty of a fry these days.

Went to mystic today to go to the aquarium. Was in the mood for a lobster roll and this was the first place that popped up. As soon as we walked in the staff was so kind. The food was amazing as well. Whoever was working today needs a raise. All the people serving had AMAZING customer service. Very pleased

We went with the lobster roll flight and we’re not disappointed!! 3 different rolls with distinct flavors and textures. All three were amazing and I definitely could not pick a favorite even if I wanted to!!

Definitely miss youngbun doughnuts but off the hook fills that void in my life. The fish tacos were so crispy and full of flavor. The poke bowl had giant chunks of fresh tuna with great flavor as well. Cannot recommend enough.

Live in the next town over, stopped in for the first time. Would love to have given it 5 starts but there were two major issues: First is seating, or lack there of. Service was friendly but there was no where to sit. Pure luck of the draw if one of the 3 tables are open. They were all full when we got there, and still had to wait for a table to open up after we got our food. Could see several people walk in and take a look, then left as they clearly saw there was a wait to sit. Then the food: We ordered the lobster flight to sample. The flavors were good, but the lobster was a bit overcooked. The rolls were toasted nicely. I liked that the tempura lobster wasn’t overly greasy or spicy. But again, was disappointed and had to lower the rating for overcooked lobster.
