The Current continues to impress with consistently high-quality food and friendly service. We’ve been to their new location twice now, and they’ve really upped their game.
Our favorite is the Blackened Salmon Sandwich, which is excellent is perfectly seasoned and cooked, with a flavorful aioli on the bun that I don’t remember from their Henry’s Depot days. The fries are crisp, golden, and lightly seasoned with Old Bay..
The new space, located in The old Imperial building, is warm and inviting. There’s a lot of wood throughout: the floors, the tables, which makes it feel bright. White chairs and high ceilings and umbrellas hanging from above give it coastal-modern feel.
The staff is friendly and very attentive, and the beer list is great, featuring quality craft options including selections from Maine Beer Company.
Every visit so far has been a good one: great food, great service, and a comfortable atmosphere. Highly recommended if you like high quality seafood.

A must-try seafood spot that absolutely nails it from start to finish! (Shhhh….it’s worth the read! )
If flavor had a home address, it’d be right here. We ordered the blackened Mahi sandwich with Old Bay fries, and wow this wasn’t just a sandwich; it was a full-blown flavor vacation. The Mahi was a massive, perfectly cooked portion that hit every note: flaky, juicy, and seasoned to perfection. No bland fish here this one’s swimming straight into Flavor Town!
Then came the blackened shrimp and I had to double-check that these were actually shrimp and not baby lobsters! They were that big. Each one perfectly seasoned, bursting with smoky goodness, and making my hand look small in the best way possible.
And we can’t skip the shrimp linguine. The noodles? Perfectly cooked linguine, not spaghetti pretending to be fancy. A generous helping of shrimp, each one cooked just right, swimming in a sauce that’s flavorful, balanced, and absolutely addictive. Let’s be honest …how many times have you ordered a similar dish somewhere else and gotten nothing but melted butter and “jarlic” (you know, that fake garlic)? Not here, baby! This dish is the real deal, well seasoned, beautifully made, and the kind of meal that actually solved a real-life mystery: my wife now knows exactly what she wants to eat when asked! No more “I don’t knows!” in this house!
And can we take a moment for the fries and hush puppies? These are the basics that so many places get wrong, but not here. Crispy, golden, seasoned, and fresh. None of that soggy, doughy, undercooked nonsense. You can tell this place knows that mastering the small stuff is what makes the big stuff shine.
The new location in Sanford looks incredible witj fresh coastal vibes, clean, welcoming, and full of energy. The service? Exactly what you’d hope for, friendly faces, genuine smiles, and a real passion for making sure every guest leaves happy and full.
If you’ve been hesitating because of a few “takeout” reviews, come on now, we all know fried food and long car rides don’t mix! Dine in, relax, and experience seafood the way it’s meant to be enjoyed fresh, hot, and full of flavor.
The Current Seafood Bar has it all: amazing food, stellar service, and a vibe that just feels right. Once you visit, you’ll already be planning your next trip before you even walk out the door.

OMG, best lobster roll around with so much lobster my roll was overflowing. The peel and eat shrimp were the biggest and freshest I’ve ever had. Great value, must visit place!

We were wanting some seafood and this place popped up. We had the blackened Mahi sandwich along with the grouper sandwich. Both were absolutely delicious. The service was amazing from Kim as she checked on us periodically making sure we had a good meal. Kim even recommended we try the lobster rolls on another day and we in fact came back a week later and we both shared the hot and the cold lobster rolls! Both rolls were amazing and just as good as Kim said they were. Have to say these rolls were the best lobster rolls we have had along with the sandwiches a week earlier!

Stopped by The Current Seafood Counter and ordered the fish and chips they were absolutely delicious! The fish was fresh, flaky, and perfectly cooked with a light, crispy batter. The fries were hot, seasoned just right, and a great complement to the fish. Everything tasted fresh and made to order. Kim behind the counter was knowledgeable and friendly. We will definitely be coming back to try different selections. I highly recommend going if you’re craving classic fish and chips, or any type of seafood.

I’ve eaten from this location multiple times. My favorite meal is the blackened salad. However I was very disappointed to see a dog in the restaurant during a downtown stroll.
