Southside Fish and Clam

Title: A Seafood Lover's Paradise on Southside Fish and Clam! Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) I recently had the pleasure of dining at Southside, and I must say, it was a seafood extravaganza that left my taste buds dancing! This market and restaurant combo is a true gem for seafood enthusiasts, and I had the chance to savor some of their finest offerings. 1. Snow Crab Legs: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) The snow crab legs at Southside were nothing short of spectacular. They were perfectly cooked, incredibly tender, and seasoned just right. Each bite was a burst of sweet and briny flavor, making these crab legs an absolute must-try. 2. Lobster Roll: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) The lobster roll here was a work of art. The buttery, toasted roll was generously filled with succulent lobster meat, lightly dressed with a delicate sauce that allowed the lobster's natural sweetness to shine through. It was a heavenly indulgence. 3. Crispy Fries: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) Southside knows how to do fries justice. Their crispy fries were the perfect sidekick to the seafood delights. Golden, crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside, these fries were the ideal complement to the seafood dishes. 4. Fresh Clams: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) The fresh clams at Southside were a delightful surprise. Served steamed and seasoned to perfection, they were tender and flavorful. The natural brininess of the clams was balanced beautifully, making them a fantastic appetizer or side dish. 5. Oysters: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) The oysters were a true highlight of the meal. Served on a bed of ice, they were incredibly fresh and tasted like they were just plucked from the sea. They were briny, with a clean finish that left me craving for more. In addition to the outstanding food, Southside Fish and Clam's atmosphere was cozy, and the service was attentive. The staff was knowledgeable about the menu and happy to provide recommendations. If you're a seafood lover, Southside is a must-visit destination. With their top-notch snow crab legs, lobster rolls, crispy fries, fresh clams, and oysters, you're in for a seafood feast that's bound to leave a lasting impression. I can't wait to return for another unforgettable dining experience!

The service was good, the ambiance, a bit dreary - It’s dark and has a cafeteria setting. There are bar high tables seating, a bar area, fish market, and plenty of sitting room. There’s music playing in the background. I had a cold lobster roll today but wish I hadn’t. I will not base past dining experiences off of this one lobster roll, but I’m not a fan of this type of lobster roll at all. It’s served cold style in a mayonnaise cold cream consistency with shreds of celery. The meat taste raw but I’m told it’s steamed. The bun should be grilled more. It’s just not tasty. I’ve have had other dishes here like the twin lobster dinner where they either steam, stuff or broil the lobster. That’s normally really good.

Haven't been back in over a year. The price has gone up on some menu items, but the seafood tasted fresh, so can't complain too much. The twin lobster has a MP so that'll go up and down with supply and demand. There has been some changes such as free refill on a soda purchase which is great. Look for the specials of the day and you'll get a satisfying meal.
