Top 10 Fried Seafood Restaurants

rick35 · 08-06-2019, 07:13 PM

I remember years (and years) ago that this was the place to go for seafood. Not so much now I guess by the number of cars in their parking lot when we drove by last night on our way to Pops. Two cars out front on our way out and four on our way back. That’s sad.

One of my all time nostalgic faves. My wife and I were there a couple of weekends ago, and it was still terrific. Could be a Monday night thing

I posted about the Tamarack. It was included in the title of my post but fell off when quoted by FlyingScot. I remember going there in the 60’s and 70’s as a kid and in the 80s and 90’s with my kids.

We have a couple of favorite seafood places in Merrimack (Lobster Boat) and Hampton (Old Salt) and don’t think too much about seafood while at the lake. We heard so many great reviews about Pops we had to go. The reviews for the Tamarack haven’t been so we don’t even think about it. And that’s why the few cars in their lot caught my attention on our way to Pops.

Got the Neptune's Platter at the Old Salt a year back--my God, was that AWESOME.

We love the Old Salt. We get the Neptune's platter every year while on vacation in April.

Went to old salt a few months ago, kind of by accident, was meeting someone from out of town and they could not find the place they were trying to go and had pulled into the parking lot of old salt to text me so we went there. It was very good.

King Neptune is the biggest presentation of seafood you’ll ever see. All kinds of fried seafood and two cups of chowder. The last time I checked it was $60. Order two more chowders and it can easily feed four people. And they serve Allagash on tap and offer two sizes of mud pie. Makes me very happy. We make the hour trip 2-3 times a year. Definitely worth the trip. And they take reservations. Ready to go?

Just had lunch there. Haddock and shrimp. I was pretty happy with it and would certainly eat there again. They are currently running a reduced menu because of a family emergency so you might want to check first, though.
