Atlantic Seafood - Old Saybrook

I have been going to this local fish market for years; I 've never had a bad piece of fish, nor have experienced bad customer service here. I especially like the smoked salmon and the rainbow trout--both of which are excellent. Also, they have a nice variety of perhaps half a dozen seafood-themed soups, which are in a frozen case. My favorites of these are the 'Maryland Vegetable Crab ' and the 'Rhode Island Clam Chowder '; simply delicious. The only drawback is that they haven 't added to nor have changed any of their soup selection of late, so essentially, it 's the same old, same old for the past five years at least.While this shop does have great quality fish and seafood, their prices are often close to exorbitant; I don 't want to feel like I have to take out a mortgage just to purchase tonight 's dinner.There 's kind of an elitist vibe to the place, it must be said. Yet I was very disappointed (although not totally surprised) to find out that they don 't accept EBT here. They must want to keep 'riff-raff ' out, I guess.

Purchased a variety of seafood items. All were quite fresh. Bought the lobster roll to make it home without touching the dinner surprise. I'd return when I the area

I tried to give Atlantic seafood the benefit of the doubt initially but now I’m going down the road to Saybrook fish. I have gotten shrimp several times from you guys and it’s tasted (for lack of a better word) funky. I thought okay, maybe it’s just a fluke thing. Stopped in the other day for a pound of shrimp. It tasted bland and fishy, and the texture was just off. Add the rude customer service on top of it and I’m done.

I’ve heard nothing but wonderful things about this fresh fish market and I cannot wait to visit Old Saybrook Connecticut to give them a try. Stay tuned…

I have always gotten first class seafood and service at Atlantic. One year, when I used to live close by, I stopped in late on December 31st. I must have been the last customer of the day before they closed for the New Years holiday. I bought a few items for my celebration, including a container of lobster bisque. When I heated it up later, I found that they gave me a huge portion of the lobster that they probably had for sale that day. In this case, it really paid to be the last customer of the day. But even on a regular day, the portions are decent, the seafood fresh and everything tastes great.
