New England Fishmongers

Excellent gluten free seafood

AMAZING! The place is cute and pristine, menu is temping. Turns out the freindly, knowledgable gent who took our order, cooked and delivered our fabulous meal was the owner of the fishing boat that supplies the restaurant - WOW! Got a hot and a cold lobster roll with a side of whole belly fried clams. Flipped thru a photo book of his fishing boat and crew in action that was on our table while we waited - nice touch. Lobster rolls arrived on large griddled, buttered sweet rolls and were piled high with big chunks and whole claws, mine gently kissed with the lightest amount of mayo - so fresh - WOW, again! My son devoured his hot lobser roll after uttering, "oh wow", after his first bite. The clams were so plump and fresh, so lightly battered and perfectly fried, none clumped together - honestly, we plotzed. Apparently, they're gluten-free, too. They were likely the best I've ever eaten. Packing a cooler on the next trip to bring some fresh fish back from the in-restaurant market. If New England Fishmongers isn't on your 'MUST GO" list for your visit to Kittery, fire your travel planner. Local? RUN, DON'T WALK to this gem!! Sorry, no photos, was too busy enjoying it IRL.

Tasty fried seafood! You would never know that the batter is gluten free, and I appreciated getting to share some New England classics with a friend who has celiacs. The fried monk fish special was a unique addition to the menu that we enjoyed.
