A fantastic place with a wonderful vibe – it feels truly homey and welcoming. Inside, it smells amazing – that kind of comforting, home-style cooking aroma, exactly what you’d hope for in a spot like this. And the food? Simple but absolutely delicious – sometimes less really is more. The lobster roll and the fried salmon were both excellent – high-quality ingredients with no unnecessary frills. A great experience that I’ll remember for a long time. The staff was also lovely. The only downside is that there’s no restroom, which is a bit inconvenient. Other than that – highly recommended!

Gem find. Everything was fantastic! Light batter on fried seafood, able to taste what you’re eating instead of just heavy coating like other places.

I recently was recommended Courthouse Seafood by a friend, so I decided to check it out. It is located outside the heart of Cambridge, but in a more residential area. However, when we came it was decently packed and busy, and I can understand why.
The service was pretty quick and efficient, and they were happy to explain to us about any menu changes for the day. They were also happy to explain any of the frozen or premade goods stored in their freezer, which had a large variety of goods available.
The food was great for the price, though nothing outstanding, imo. We got the fish and chips, seafood platter, and clam chowder. I thought the clam chowder was a bit too thick for my liking, almost like oatmeal. The fish and chips was great, though the fries were a bit soggy, but probably because we ordered takeout. For the price, portions are great and overall tasted perfectly fine.
Overall, a great place in the area for cheap seafood eats in the Boston area.

The best fish and chips and lobster salad roll! Fish was very light on the batter and flaked perfectly. Lobster had the right crunch to it and was flavored very well with mayo and dills. Great chowder too! Very pleasant and friendly family who run the place.

VERY welcoming, kind, and attentive staff. The food was great! We got the clam chowder, stuffed clam, and crab cake. If you’re from out-of-town looking for a place to try New England cuisine, I highly suggest this place. The parking wasn’t too hard to find, either, and the atmosphere is very calm and nice.

Fish Market with a Restaurant next door (a bit to the right – look for the blue awning). The fresh seafood was GREAT!! Really big portions too, good deal for the prices. Lowkey like twice the size you’d expect for the price. Family of Four split 2 specials and a side order. Not many tables, pretty quiet but super friendly staff. Seems like a place locals would frequent. Parking is rough – bring quarters – but worth it

I’ve been coming here since I was little girl, my grandmother would bring me here because she loved it, may she RIP. I live in NY, but I have family in Massachusetts. I love the seafood platter here. Everything is made fresh. The batter is perfect. Never tastes greasy or like they heated it up. One of my all time favorite seafood restaurants.

A family run business for over half a century! Excellent fresh seafood. They also own their own fish market just a few doors down….so you know you’re getting the freshest possible. I had the fried Seafood platter $27. Clams, scallops, shrimp, fish, French fries, coleslaw. Everything was done right. Worth seeking out if you’re in the area. Street parking only.
