Fish House Fish Market

A perfect little eatery on the island. Great menu, efficient staff, and a cozy little spot on a small beach to eat and meet other travelers. Some of the absolute best lobster bisque I've ever had!

After hiking ~4 miles around the entirety of Monhegan's shores, a hot fish sandwich from the Fish House was just about the most delicious thing I have ever eaten. The fish itself is hand-breaded and came in a sizeable portion. The bun and sauce were divine. This place is a "must visit" whenever you make the trip to Monhegan.

Pricey, as is everything on the island, but the food overall is quite good. We had fish tacos, shrimp tacos, lobster, and a lobster roll across two visits and they were all very good. Wait can be a little long at times, but nothing too unreasonable. Staff was helpful and hospitable. Would recommend stopping in for sure. Atmosphere is rustic but nice views of the harbor on the picnic tables and chairs.

Tiny, no fuss - one of those places one may refer to as a 'hole in the wall' but in the best way. Step in and place your order for fresh, tasty, traditional Maine treats; step outside and sit at a picnic table or make yourself comfortable along the shore. I visit each time I'm in the area!

Food here is always awesome. Great place to order a meal, pick up some fresh fish, or arrange for a lobster dinner.

Best fish tacos ever. Truly amazing. My niece loved her fish sandwich.

Insanely good fish sandwich. The lobster bisque was the MVP and the clam chowder was the best I've had in years 🙏🏽

Love all the fresh seafood.. ! Eating outside only but you are on the beach. Went many times. Cesar salad with shrimp was my favorite..

Must stop place for seafood on the island. Shrimp tacos were surprisingly first rate (prefer fish tacos usually).

Right on the beach, take-out only but outdoor picnic tables or just sit on the sand.

Best chowder and lobster roll of the vacation, such a great spot right on the water. Be prepared to sit outside!

In two days on Monhegan this week I ate lunch here twice. Crab roll the first day, salmon burger the second day. Both of them tasty and good sized portions. It's hard to beat the location, right on a sandy beach with views of the harbor, and picnic tables scattered around. This place looks like an old fish shack should look, not all gussied up for big city folks. Pop up the hill for a growler from the microbrewery if you are so inclined.
Highly recommended for a light shore lunch on the beautiful island.

While there aren't many options on Monhegan, this rating doesn't grade on a curve, it is quite good. Expect shabby conditions, but the picnic tables, scattered among the lobster fishing gear, provide basic comfort and shade to enjoy delicious fish tacos (what we enjoyed) in a, let's say, rustic setting. As my friend said, "this isn't Nantucket", which is fine by me.

If you are looking for good food and a spectacular setting this is the place. Highly recommend the lobster dinner, but make sure to order early as they get busy and close by 7. Also really good are the fish tacos. There is a large selection of fresh fish to cook yourself. Located on Fish Beach you can let the kiddies climb on the rocks while you enjoy the scenery under the beach umbrellas.

Food was delicious, had dinner there a couple times. Lobster was wonderful, all ther other dishes we tried were great! Also, Paige, who worked the register and took orders, was wonderful and very accommodating to me ❤. Highly recommended!!

Definitely pricey. Be forewarned. However the food was DELICIOUS. I had the shrimp tacos and they were fantastic. Everyone else who I was with loved their meals also.

The annual trip to Monhegan wouldnt be the same without chowder and lobsters from the fish house. We've tried lobster all over the coast of Maine, but this year Monhegan's were by far the sweetest. Can't wait to come back next year.

What can be said....fresh, delicious, and ample seafood eaten while sitting on a picnic table overlooking the beach and harbor. Memories that are priceless!

Monhegan may be 12 miles at sea, but the Fish House is 12 feet from the harbor and always has a great selection of fresh catch! Fish tacos are wicked as well!!

Outdoor tables on the beach. Food on the island is expensive but Shermie is far more reasonable than the inns. Love the smoked salmon.

Fresh salmon and scallops made a complete meal back at our awesome rental at the Richardson's place! Will definitely come back!! ⚡
