Fodor's Expert Review Atlantic Fish Co

Designed to look like an ocean vessel with gorgeous wood finishes and nautical artwork, this local seafood restaurant delivers first-class fish, so fresh that the extensive menus are printed daily to reflect the day's catch, served broiled, baked, blackened, fried, grilled, or pan-seared. Unsnap your starched napkin and begin with a platter of chilled seafood (lobster, littlenecks, oysters, crab, and shrimp), followed by any one of the specialties ranging from whole-bellied fried Ipswich clams to pan-seared bass with lobster ravioli in an unctuous lobster cream sauce. The sea bass chowder with bacon is a delectable alternative to the common clam-based versions around town. Steak and chicken are available for culinary landlubbers.
