Where to Go for the Freshest Catch!
If you’re like most people, dining out is a big part of a vacation. And if you’re like most visitors to Martha’s Vineyard, you most likely are a seafood lover. You’re in luck, because the Island is famous for freshly caught seafood and restaurants that prepare it just right! Below is a sampling of some local favorites that are sure to satisfy your seafood craving!
Martha’s Vineyard Chowder Company
Located in Oak Bluffs, this restaurant’s signature clam chowder has been rated the best chowder in New England by Yankee Magazine, and the best chowder many years in a row by Cape Cod Life Magazine. You really should try a bowl or cup when you visit. But chowder isn’t all that’s on the menu. Choose from entrees like Grilled Atlantic Salmon, local Pan-Seared Scallops and Lobster Mac and Cheese that’s extra generous with the chunks of lobster meat. Seafood lovers can get their fill of shellfish—clams, shrimp and more—as well as fresh catches like swordfish and tuna. Dine out in a casual, relaxing atmosphere with plenty of TVs to catch the next Patriots game!
The Square Rigger
This converted 1800s sea captain’s house in Edgartown now boasts the most mouth-watering seafood dishes!

You can get lobster any way you like it—baked, stuffed, in a casserole. This restaurant is a favorite of the locals, with a quaint ambience and many other selections on the menu for non-seafood eaters as well.
Quarterdeck Restaurant
When you’re on the go in Edgartown, this is the place to grab a quick bite. It looks like a miniature New England house, located right on the dock. If you get hungry before catching the ferry, treat yourself to fried fish, fried clams, ice cream and more. And did we mention the lobster burger?
