Fresh breads are brought in daily, a full kitchen staff now prepares entrees and side dishes to make dinner prep quicker. A farm stand was brought on the property to offer fresh local produce. Even a local bakery delivers their dessert offerings and a local farm brings an array of cheeses.

From smoked fish to complimentary cooking lobsters we strive to be the «go to» place for the freshest best quality your money can buy.

I ordered 3#‘s of shrimp for Christmas Eve, as I have done here in the past.
Picked it up at 8:00 a.m. on 12⁄24. They require you to order prior for the Holiday rush so it is ready, pre packed when you get there.
It felt a little lite, so I weighed it when I got home on a good food scale. It weighed 2.29 #‘s
I called and was told «you probably won’t understand this but we weigh each pound and then we clean and shell it»…WHAT!!!
Almost ¾ # of shells off of 3#‘s? Hard to believe!
Guessing that this is a regular practice of Atlantic so beware as I am sure I am not the only one that got shorted on Christmas Eve!
So I am thinking that when I go in and ask for a pound from the case, I get about 2⁄3 of a pound because they removed the shells and cleaned it before they put it in the case?!
Very deceiving and we will NOT be patronizing this store again!
BTW, we went to Big Y right after to pick up a few things and hubby got a pound of shrimp from their fish market, just so we would have enough for our crowd. Weighed that and guess what? It was a full pound… AND it was cleaned and shelled!!! Oh yeah, it looked and tasted as good as this place that ripped us off!

Great seafood. I love their homemade sauces they sell. The staff is very friendly. I have to always get my favorite, their marinated shrimp salad.

Great seafood and great advice on what fish to use in a recipe. Hard to find a good seafood store. This place is one of them.

Bought 2 lbs of mussels yesterday and half of them were bad. I no longer had enough to make dinner for two. I will never shop there again.

Incredibly fresh fish. Very helpful staff. We grilled up tuna, striped bass and swordfish and it was excellent. The highest quality fish that I have found. The precooked shrimp was tasty and they have a nice selection of side dishes and fresh bread.

I have always liked Atlantic Seafood; found that the staff are friendly and helpful, the selection is top notch and the prices are really reasonable.
But today I stopped in and one of the young men that helped me totally went above and beyond; I felt like their customers really do come first.
They also have prepared foods and a fresh selection of local breads and cheeses.
Highly recommend!

I’d just returned from a trip to Sicily where I’d eaten fresh seafood EVERY day and had to find a place where I could find fresh, reliable, abundant seafood choices. I found it! The selection was overwhelming in a good way. Atlantic Seafood was a 25-​minute trek from home but worth it. They had frozen octopus and calamari, so I could prepare a cold seafood salad; squid ink! so I could make pasta al nero di seppia; purchased organic Norwegian salmon for dinner: SUPERB flavor; and ordered a little container of marinated shrimp to stave off my hunger: perfect. Can’t wait to go back with an ice chest and bring home more fruits of the sea!

To me, it’s all about customer service… Apparently not Atlantic Seafood. I bought one of their incredibly expensive pieces of pottery, just under $ 300 for a shower gift — not even the first piece I bought. It must have had a hairline crack because before the bride opened the well packed gift, it had split in two! How embarrassing. The store said I could buy another piece for $ 150, and the potter never even responded to my email. Why would I spend another $ 150 on something that may also split in two? Never going back; horrible customer service. they could have done MUCH better. I’ll be buying my fish down the street.

We found this place, thinking it was a restaurant, but it’s a fish market that also has some prepared foods. It’s super clean inside; the air is cool and it smells of delicious fresh seafood. When we come back to the area, we’re going to bring a cooler with some ice so we can take the fish home. We decided to split a pint of the cold shrimp and dill salad to eat in the car on our way to a sit down restaurant and it was quite yummy and perfectly cooked.

Fresh, lots of options, really helpful staff, my only complaint is that they aren’t open longer, it is probably the reason their staff is so nice.

the fresh cooked shrimp… Nice & firm, great cocktail sauce too — easy! Also love that they have organically farmed salmon. (I buy it already poached, very tasty). Friendly staff. Smells good too, not like the fish at stop & shop (gag).

Atlantic Seafood came highly recommended by my attorney Bull, who lives in Old Saybrook. His brother DotCom and my aunt Judy confirmed its the place for serious seafood on this stretch Connecticut shore.
My girlfriend called around and priced lobsters. Not only was Atlantic Seafood a dollar or two cheaper than competitors, they also did not have a tiered pricing structure for different weight lobsters.
The selection of seafood was fantastic with multiple delicious species of fish, oysters and shellfish, and shrimp of gigantic size as well. We stuck to the lobster. These we brought home alive for a 12 minute hot water bath.
The lobsters were filled with sweet meat! Who can ask for anything more.

I won’t buy my seafood anywhere else! Excellent and friendly service. I’ve bought everything from oysters to salmon and I’ve never been disappointed!

This is by far the best place/​market to purchase FRESH seafood. For years I had been trying to save a few cents by purchasing my families seafood from a super market/​grocery store. After one visit to this market, I will never again buy our seafood ANYWHERE ELSE. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was that it didn’t have an unpleasant oder that we have all become use to when buying seafood. Just that alone made me think that the product must be fresh. The staff were eager to help, and gave me cooking suggestions that I had not considered. The quality was AMAZING. in summary: for the cleanliness, the courtesy and the high quality of seafood, I give this market my continued business and my highest rating.

This is the only place I’ll buy my seafood. Always fresh, lots of choices, and friendly and helpful staff working there. Once or twice a week I stop in for a piece of fish. Sometimes I’ll get one of the delightful sauces they offer, other times one or two of their sides. They also carry the best breads and veggies just in case I need to make a complete meal. Love Atlantic Seafood.

While the prices were right (well, they were average), the quality was horrible.
Came specifically for sea scallops. Sea scallops will vary in color from pure white, to almost orange depending on their diet, but they should be one solid color. They shouldn’t be pure white in the center and yellow around the edges, this indicates age.
I asked to smell them and they reeked of pure ammonia. No thanks… wont be back.

My family has been buying fish + from Atlantic Seafood since moving to Westbrook 6 years ago. You will always get the freshest products from the nicest people! I love the suggestions on how to cook whatever I’m buying (they’ve actually suggested fish for me when I just couldn’t make up my mind on more than one occasion!). You will not find fresher, better fish!
Lisa and her staff are amazing!

Great selection of seafood. Love the quality and the friendliness of the staff. The shark steak we got here was awesome.
For some reason Unilocal thinks this is a restaurant, it isn’t.

This is our «go to» seafood market. Lisa, the owner, is very helpful with great preparation suggestions and always willing to suggest something new and delicious.
The oysters here are great and they usually have at least 3 options to choose from. Or if you are like us, you don’t choose, but rather get some of each.
Bomster scallops… the best you can get in our opinion. They are flash frozen right on the boat to ensure freshness, trust me, this is the way to go. We typically buy them in the 5# blocks that Atlantic receives them in from the fisherman. We then take them home and break off 1 to 1.5# meal-​sized portions, only defrosting them as we need them. Tender, succulent, and soooo delicious simply seared with salt & pepper in unsalted butter.
Hands down, we we love this place and rarely buy seafood from anywhere else. We drive by no less than 4 other seafood sellers to get here, and the extra trip is well worth it.
