Schutty's Seafood

My red hat ladies came down when COVID was starting to calm down outside dining was great! Excellent food very pleasant staff! ***** Thank you for making a sad time better!

This is my 2nd Yelp review of Shutty's. Shutty's simply offers the best, freshest, affordable seafood options in the Midcoast Maine area. Handcut and homemade are the operative words. From chowders and appetizers to baskets and platters of delicious seafood, you will find it at Shutty's. One of my favorites is the haddock basket. 10-11 oz. of fresh, non greasy, lightly breaded haddock "nuggets" with a choice of handcut fries or homemade onion rings and homemade Cole slaw. SCRUMPTIOUS!! Don't sleep on Shutty's, this fish shack is the real deal!!! Highly recommend!!

A true authentic Maine lobster roll experience. This shabby little truck packs a punch and serves great food that only the locals know about. There's some picnic tables to sit by the side of the road or you can sit in your car. It takes a bit for the food - this is *not* fast food. If you're in a rush I suggest ordering ahead!

A permanent food truck in a parking lot with picnic tables outside.....doesn't sound like much, but it is by far the best place in the area in the summer for fried fish, fried clams, lobster roll, fried shrimp and the best onion rings around. No upcharge for onion rings over the fries, and you get so many, I'd recommend that you share. I don't particularly love their fries, but after reading a few other reviews, I will try the homemade potato chips. Always check their hours and days they are open, we've been disappointed before when we didn't check. Always so sad at the end of the season when they close. Shutty's and summer in Maine. Couldn't ask for anything else.

Delicious lobster roll and the best onion rings!! First time here after wanting to try this spot for years! Loved it, very tasty lobster roll and the onion rings were amazing! I will definitely return here!! I highly recommend for a quick bite to eat!

$26 for 7 very small scallops and some onion rings. Maybe ordering something else would work but not returning.

In New York - it's "Scaalaps" in New England it's "Sculullops" - either vernacular you choose - or choose to pronounce it correctly or not - what's your take on their taste? I just recently asked myself that, because it's a question I've asked myself before. Im feeling that I should identify better with them as they were my grandmother's favorite seafood - I can't attest to the sophistication of her palate but I trust it was true to order on account of - so I ordered them. I remember reading about the difference between Sea Scallops and Bay Scallops - Bays are smaller & more tender - but I have to wonder - is eight (8) scallops worth $38.00? for a Large Size. People love to wrap them in bacon - it definitely looks cool and is a fun treat for dinner parties or Sunday football when they're usually rubbery due to freezer to overcooking, but they're fun even on leftover holiday paper plates. We've all had them via garlic and butter which was Granny's get down. Shuttys deep fried them in the lightest breading I've had on fruits from the sea - an improper fork poke caused a peeling off affect like a slightly warming tootsie roll from it's waxed wrapper but without the stick. They're is a clam & oyster taste within them combined with a crab and lobster sweetness - delicate and buttery with no fishy smell. The part we eat is the abductor mussels that hold the shells together. The large unstable onion rings portion was set in it's own and clam shell container -they were sticking together which is terribly annoying and tasted a bit undercooked. These weren't Mr. Traditional onion rings in batter - I believe it was a panko tempura flour mix - single dredge, maybe a little milk --- but these onion rings could have been so much better.

In town for a 3 day music festival and had a craving for seafood. Sorry I couldn't order everything at once. Had the haddock platter and a seafood chowder. I should have read the order taker better as I ordered clam chowder but they were out so I asked for the seafood chowder. They hesitated when I said it. The fish platter was great. Fresh and crispy. The chowder seemed to be the

My wife and I are on a road trip to Canada and while in Maine, decided to find a lobster roll. After several restaurants had long waits, I found Schutty's food truck in Bath. We had the lobster roll, haddock sandwich and the homemade onion rings. The lobster roll was tasty and filled with a good amount of lobster. The fried haddock sandwich was excellent and a true bargain. The fish was thick and hung over the bun. The onion rings are hand battered and fried with a light crust that compliments and enhances the sweet flavor of the onions. We also had the homemade potato chips and they were very crisp and good. After reading the reviews on Yelp! we made a 20 minute detour out of our way to get to Schutty's and were very glad we did!

This place came highly recommended by a local . It was a beautiful day and the truck was fairly busy . Lots of picnic tables a couple of benches in the shade . We got ours to go so we could eat in the park. The person who took our order was vey engaged and very friendly. So many items to choose from it was hard to decide . We ended up with onion ring, haddock bites and a blacken scallop taco with Asian slaw. It came with homemade chips and Baja sauce the sauce was ok. A woman in front of us brought her rings back as she said they were too salty. They were very accommodating and gave her a replacement with less salt , after over hearing the encounter we ordered our food all lightly salted, which was an excellent decision. You can always add more but it is hard to take it away. We did not need to add any additional salt. The onion rings are delicious sweet and crispy and a large portion. The haddock bites were some of the best I have had, crispy, sweet and not greasy at all. Large pieces of haddock bigger than a nugget. The scallops were perfectly cooked large scallops with a great flavor there were 3 scallops on each taco. The slaw was ok would have like it if the cabbage slices where a little thinner and just a bit more flavor and a bit More slaw on the taco. All I all it was a great stop and we will return to try some of the other items , deep fried fiddleheads and the calamari as well as the haddock Ruben lots of specials as well.

I stopped by Schutty's on my last day in Maine. We ordered seafood chowder which was one of my favorite things I had while in Maine. The flavor was on point. A perfect meld of flavors without over powering the flavor of the individual seafood. It was also a lovely collection of seafood. Not just white fish. We also had the Haddock Reuben which was good but a little on the juicy side. I don't like it when the bread is soggy only a few bites in. The fish basket was a delight, crispy on the outside moist and tender fish. And here comes my one complaint. The fries and onion rings were very greasy and soggy. I am a crisp fries girl. The service was quick and friendly and the crew was happy to grill scallops for me, which was not on the menu. All the food was a delight (Except the fries) and no fishy flavor.

We consider it some of the best fried clams and onion rings we've ever had on the coast of Maine. Even better than reds! It's a food truck with picnic tables in a parking lot, but the food surpasses the ambience.

Wow how is this place rated so highly? Staffed by boisterous teens who do not seem to care about quality and customer service. Went on a day with no other costumers and Ordered hot buttered lobster roll and it came out 30 min later covered in ORANGE grease and an apology that it took so long. They mistakenly made a mayo lobster roll and had to remake it. Ended up with dry orange lobster rolls. Pretty sure it was fryer grease, definitely wasn't butter. Never again

Lobster Roll was great and they take credit cards another plus! A quick lunch, sat at the picnic tables and we were on our way!

Have been wanting to try this place for awhile now based on the reviews and word of mouth. It was a beautiful day today so I decided to take my wife here for lunch. I am really sorry to say that my wife and I were not impressed. Pros: The service was super friendly and quick. The onions rings were outstanding.... perfectly done. Cons: My wife's scallops were overcooked.... very dark brown. The coating was also way too salty. My lobster roll was quite bland and even more upsetting was the fact that it was deceptive. My first impression was that it was a bit on the small size for $22 but I was OK with it until I bit into it. Hidden under the meat was shredded iceberg lettuce which made the actual amount of meat even less. I am aware that there are all kinds of debates about how a lobster roll should be done, but in my opinion lettuce, especially iceberg, is unforgivable. The seafood chowder was way too thick and despite all of the seafood that was advertised as being in it, I only found a few small shrimp and a piece of a scallop. The bill was nearly $60 for 6 overcooked scallops, a deceptively small lobster roll, small cup of chowder and onion rings. I know good seafood is expensive and I am more than willing to pay the price but this meal left us disappointed. There are so many good seafood shacks around us so I don't think we will be coming back.

Great Captain's platter tonight! Shaun's crew was up to their usual standards! Everything was perfectly cooked. The fries were delicious. It was hard at times to hear the names being called iver the rain!

Food: I've tried their haddock, calamari, and onion rings so far. I like their onion rings. They are cooked perfectly, thick cut, and have a good amount of seasoning. I'm not super fond of how they serve their haddock because they chop it up into smaller chunks rather than serve it as a fillet, but it doesn't affect the taste. Both the haddock and the calamari are good but there are better places that serve there dishes with tasty sauces or more seasoning. Service: The lady who is usually taking orders is nice when she is talking to you but she has a tendency to ignore customers if she is trying to find someone to pick up their order. I don't blame her but it's a bit annoying. Ambience: There are a few picnic tables to eat at but no cover from rain/wind which can make it hard to eat. You can also take your food to go or eat in your car in the parking lot.

Un-FLIPPING BELIEVABLY great food truck. Very good fresh seafood. Looks like the dad supplies all the seafood for the truck and family does the cooking. Our favorite is the Blackened Haddock wrap. ***There is always a wait because everything is made fresh - but it's worth the wait We have tried most everything on the menu and everything was great. The only item we wouldn't get again is the lobster egg rolls. Seating is outside on picnic tables - we have even stuck it out in the rain for our order.

I can't say I loved this place. First of all, it didn't seem very clean. I had the haddock rueben which wasn't nearly as good as some I've had, and the homemade chips were pretty bad (way too dark).

These guys here know their stuff. This is no ordinary roadside stand. This is for anyone who wants a casual meal, and yet values thoughtfully prepared, excellent quality food. So basically, a place that anyone would love! I came with a group of 5 others, so we tried a LOT of deliciousness: Haddock Reuben (with grilled fish) - served with crispy, freshly made potato chips, this was AHMAZING. Grilled perfectly, the best reuben I've ever had! Crab Reuben - generously packed with crab, they do the reubens well here! Shrimp Tacos Blackened Scallop Tacos Haddock Tacos (with grilled fish) All the tacos were big, the seafood cooked perfectly, on flour tortillas with a crunchy slaw & creamy sauce, 2 to an order, served with more of those great chips. Yum! Seafood Chowder - this wins awards for a reason! Not the gloppy thick kind (in a good way) - creamy, with a plethora of seafood chunks that are surely cooked to order bc each chunk is cooked PERFECTLY. There is no way that any of the seafood sits in soup, just waiting all day or even for an hour - it is just too fresh to have ever been treated that way. A MUST. Sweet Potato Fries - super good with everything else! There's some GREAT food being made at this super casual roadside! Plus there's super friendly service, and lots of picnic tables for an alfresco sit & eat situation. Highly recommend!!

Okay, here's the deal with Schutty's; yes, it's right off the highway, yes, it's in a random parking lot, but is it the best seafood in Maine? Also yes! Many restaurants claim they have good seafood, but nothing beats Schutty's. It is much worth it to come out and their food over other places just because of how good it is. Prices can be a bit on the steep side, but again, there isn't anywhere better to eat. Try getting takeout, then enjoy it somewhere a little bit nicer.

Fresh, delicious seafood with some creative touches. For example, they add fresh fiddleheads to their menu in the spring.

Ridiculously good onion rings and chowder. I wish I had noticed the haddock Reuben on the menu before I ordered, definitely trying it next time. The only downside is that there is no shade to be had in the seating area.

$30 for a mayo laden thimble full lobster roll. Highway robbery! Worst lobster roll I've ever had. Wish I thought to take a picture but I was in such shock at how measly it was I wasn't thinking clearly. Bought my 4 year old grandson chicken fingers 3 chicken fingers and soggy fries $17.99! BUYER BEWARE.

I have not had the opportunity to get food there this year, but have always been very impressed by them. Fresh seafood is not always easy to find even in costal Maine.

Fried clams were amazing!!Lobster rolls was nice and full and French fries were hand cut deliciousness. And how could I forget the onion rings???? Best ones I've ever had! Glad we stumbled upon this diamond in the rough! May travel the 2 hours to get there just for the clams again!!!!

Love this place! They do not disappoint. The seafood is delicious! We try to eat there a couple times a month. Nice portions and friendly staff.

Ooo man I could eat the clam chowder for days! A super yummy place to treat yourself to some comfort seafood.

This shack is completely off the beaten path, it was so unexpectected and excellent! It's pretty straight forward: it's a shack in a parking lot accross from a gas station in the middle of nowhere. Driving in we were a little uncertain because of the location. A lot of patrons, while we were there, seemed to have driven from afar on purpose for this place. We took an award-winning & a regular clam chowder. They were both amazing... with lots of chunks of seafood & tender cooked-just-right potatoes. Some lady was saying she comes every year and she waits every year for the moment to get the fried clams because they have the best. I would definitely recommend!

It's with a heavy heart that I rate Schutty's only 3 stars. The location is kinda fun on the side of the main road with picnic tables spread around and i do love fried whole belly clams but we found the food pretty mediocre. Compared to some of the other fried seafood places that dot the coastline of southern Maine it was pretty average. The seafood itself was decent if not the best we've had. But a lot of the sides were either over-cooked (onion rings), had obviously been sitting out and was cold by the time it was served to us (French fries) or simply had no effort put into it (very basic coleslaw that seemed to be premade). Overall, we'd probably stop by again if in the area. I have a hard time saying no to fried seafood, regardless of the number of stars I award it. However it definitely won't become a regular spot for us.

We tried the butter lobster roll, oyster special, and seafood chowder. The lobster roll was our favorite so far on the trip (have tried 3 so far). I'm not an oyster person but my boyfriend loved the oysters and wish he had gotten more. The chowder was also amazing! Great "hole in the wall" place!

The food was perfect. It was flavorful, the portions were huge and they know how to fry. It may look like a basic food truck, but it is not. The fried clams were plump and delicious. The lobster roll was overstuffed. And the prices were great, too. You should stop by.

A Huge menu awaits at Schutty's. Unlike most seafood shacks, here one can order salads, wraps and burgers in addition to the seafood. The Seafood chowder could possibly be the best ever eaten - thick, packed with seafood from top to bottom including lobster, scallops, clams and mussels. Wow. A Pint of clams is small and the bellies little - the only disappointment of the visit. Holly's fish tacos have massive pieces of haddock breaded, fried and drizzled with aioli in taco shells and are excellent. Hot dog is snappy. Sweet potato fries even are good. The trick is finding Schutty's off the beaten path in between bath and Brunswick off of rte1. Find it in a parking lot across the street from a gas station. Plenty of seating st picnic tables.

This is my absolute favorite Seafood restaurant! I've come here with my grandmother since I was a kid and it's always been amazing! Never disappointed!

Had a wonderful lunch today of fresh made crab cakes on a bed of greens with lobster chive mayonnaise, it was terrific!!!

This was the first place we stopped for food when getting to Maine. It's basically a stationary food truck. There were a lot of regulars ordering, which made me feel good about the decision to stop. I ordered calamari, seafood chowder and lobster roll. They were out of lobster, but the guys in there magically made one appear so that I could get one. And that made my day!!! I had no clue, until I bit into that lobster roll just how lucky I was that they found a lobster for me. I've been in Maine for a few days now and I've tried quite a few lobster rolls, this one is by far the best. Their seafood chowder is by far the best!! I wanted to drive all the way back just to get more. Thank you Schutty's for such a great intro to Maine!!

Great roadside place. They are clean and they have a good menu. I was a bit blown away by the depth of the menu. The food was good as well. Customer service could improve a bit - it would be very helpful if they can bring the food out to the picnic tables because the wait for the food is quite long (rightfully so because there are people ahead of you that want food too). I would certainly recommend this place and will most likely revisit.

I don't know why this got 1 out of 5 stars for a lobster roll. This place is outstanding, if you see the reviews on trip advisor you will see most people agree. What we got Clams and fries Blacken scallops and hand made chips. Score on the food Clams and fries 5/5 - not the greatest amount of clams but def will fill you up. Scallops 5/5 - perfect texture only issue was the Cole slaw wasn't the best. Side notes Location isn't the nicest looking- think hills have eyes. It gets sunny and only some tables have umbrellas. Cook said he had an Australian shepherd so he is the best cool to never win the James beard award.

Nice little "mom & pop" roadside stop off of Route 1 in Bath, ME. The food was fresh, tasty and plentiful, and the people were friendly.

You and your guests have finished shopping in downtown Brunswick and want to eat fresh seafood but want to take a break from going to a restaurant and waiting in line? You just want to crunch on some fried calamari, fried haddock, fried scallops, homemade onion rings, etc... You want to tell your guests you have a great idea but you must also say, "only locals know of this place." Continue whispering: "The owner is a fisherman so you are getting very fresh fish of the day and its, yes! its all homemade!". Eat at the picnic tables, or in your car or take it all home embellishing your order with a cool artisan beer. I had the calamari and onion rings with cole slaw. Very, very yummy. I've been there about 4 times and the food was always delicious and fresh. I hope you stop by and support this fisherman and his humble shack.

This place is a winner. The only thing better is if it were located on the water. I think they've got the best fish fry in the area, and if you're not into seafood they've got plenty of other options.

This little gold mine was recommended to us as a place to stop and have the best fried clams ever! On that recommendation, we stopped and boy are we glad we did! They were indeed some of the best clams we ever tasted! I had the Haddock nuggets and onion rings and they were the best! My husband had the whole belly fried clams and hand cut french fries with homemade coleslaw! They give very generous portions at a very reasonable price! I can't give this place enough praise!

Where do I even begin? This place is off the beaten path but bomb and totally worth the drive. I came here specifically enroute to Bar Harbor and was definitely not disappointed. Passing by it looks like a random food truck run in an empty lot with a few picnic tables. Food 4/5 We ordered the award winning seafood chowder and a pint of fried oysters. The oysters were two-bite sized and deep fried in a lightly seasoned batter. The batter could be a little thinner but wasn't a big deal. The tartar sauce provided was so delicious and was a great addition to the oysters. The seafood chowder was definitely the star of the show and was worth the drive alone. There was a generous portion of fish, shrimp, scallops and had lobster in it. The chowder itself was creamy yet not overly thick. The potatoes weren't an ingredient filler as usual but added to the chowder. The potatoes were cooked to perfection and not grainy or mushy. Service 3/5 This is a pretty no frills place so don't expect white glove service. The staff were friendly, quick and always ready to answer any questions. Schuttys seems like a place that only locals know of which is awesome. There weren't crazy hoards of tourists and was a great no frills meal.

Disappointed in the small "under-stuffed" roll for $20. Scallops were good in the combo basket. Don't think we'll be back.

A roadside stand with food (mostly seafood) served out of a portable trailer. Ample picnic tables and a nearby marsh area bordering the New Meadows River make the surroundings pleasant. Read a previous review that rated the lobster roll poorly. The lobster roll was good. While not overstuffed, the lobster meat mixed with mayo was flavorful and the bun buttered and toasted perfectly. The roll does come with lettuce, which I don't care for, but I didn't ask them to make it without, so my bad! They're rolls come with either hand-cut fries or their own homemade onion rings in a basket for $19.95. I opted for the rings as did my date. The onion rings are stellar, which confirmed what I'd heard. They are perfectly prepped and then fried. They were the perfect blend of crunch, onion-ey goodness, and not greasy at all. I detected a bit of salt, which didn't necessitate any salting on my part. You could eat them w/out ketchup, or with. Either way, they are very good. They have other options including fish tacos, fried oysters, and crab rolls, too. Also, some veggie spring rolls. Definitely worth jumping off Coastal Route 1 if passing nearby, or if in Brunswick or Bath, heading out the Bath Road and looking for their spot near the New Meadows River.

Everything you want it to be. We had a lobster rolll, fries, and onion rings. Will definitely be going back every-time we're in the area. Great service, FRESH lobster, HOT fried fewds, and outdoor seating.

Honest to Christ if Shawn makes any more food this good I'm gonna weigh 500lbs! The tacos are perfect, the lobster roll is a great offer and the clams and seafood are why you come up the coast in search of classic fried food.

Schutty's is hands-down the best fried seafood I've had in Maine! The fried clam strips and haddock are both fantastic. You can park and eat at the picnic tables next to the trailer or take to go!

I make a yearly pilgrimage to this place. The fried clam basket is a thing of perfection. Everything is done right here. Frequented by locals. Need I say more?
