    Pretty average food. A little pricey for the quality. Got the side order of fried clams. The breading qas a touch soggy and the clams were a little soft. It wasn't a complete deal breaker, but it wasn't anything to ever do again. It's part of a big touristy row, so not surprised. Service was standard quick stop. Nothing remarkable - good or bad.

    The only Gluten Free Clam Chowder in Quincy Market is served here as well as scallops wrapped in bacon. The stuffies are tasty and a good choice for a quick seafood snack. Clams, Fries, Scallops are all on the menu here - a good bunch of people work here. The offer a good variety of sandwiches here. Crabmeat, shrimp, fried calamari, fish rolls - New England Seafood is the them here.

    Wow. Clam chowder tastes like diluted cream and potatoes concoction; fish came in chunks and tails, was very rubbery, even French fries were horrible. My fish and chips (added clam bellies) was $27 (was not on the menu, so I guess I was charged whatever - fish and chips were $19). On top of that - service with an attitude. I threw away most of it.. what a waist!

    I'm British born living in Canada. One of the challenges is to find authentic fish and chips in the Americas comprable to what I enjoyed in the UK. I'm happy to say that in addition to fine fish and chips I had at Cape Cod, Boston's Quincy Hall has the Fisherman's Net which provided an authentic dish. The two man crew handled my order well and were proud to win my praise. Great job fellas. The lunch was great.

    It's a tourist trap. Avoid it and save your money. I wish there was an option to give 0 star. I ordered fisherman platter and it was one of the worst food experiences in my life as a traveler. It was well overpriced for the quality I got. The guy at the counter wasn't friendly at all. And after all this miserable experience, they don't give you the choice to choose how much you want to tip, the just charge you what they want. Do yourself a favor and spend your money elsewhere.

    Got their fish and chips. It was pricey ($14), but the food was very good. The fish was crispy and taste high quality. The chips (fries) were a bit on the soggy side though, but it does have a crisp to it. Staff was alright, but that might not be the case for you guys.

    I ordered the pricey Fishermans Platter for $20- don't waste your money here folks. The fish was not fresh, has no flavor, and is greasy. I should've bypassed it like everyone else did. Very disappointing.

    If you want true whole belly fried clams which are awesome and an owner that really cares about the quality while trying to keep the price in line in today's economy this is a must I walk down from the Ritz and will come here every time

    The clams were awesome! The entire menu is a bit pricey, but it’s a touristy kind of thing. The food was really good.

    Ordered the fish and chips which were pretty good but overpriced at 20$ vibe was pretty bad because the service worker was pretty gruff and unfriendly. It also came with a mountain of fries which were unseasoned and could've used a different oil.

    Stopped in the market for a quick snack and grabbed a bowl of clam chowder. It was piping hot and fresh. The bowl was $7 and wort every penny. Found a quiet spot in the market to relax and enjoy. Great place to visit.

    Great clam chowder and Boston fried fish!

  • 2/5 Janelle H. 1 year ago on Google
    Very watery clam chowder. Crab salad roll had too much Mayo and poor quality bread. Expensive for a disappointing meal.

  • 1/5 Albert L. 1 year ago on Google
    Clam chowder in a bowl is good but their fish and chips was disappointing. Looked and tasted like frozen fish sticks from the supermarket. The coleslaw was simply not edible. Terrible!!

  • 1/5 Kauai S. 1 year ago on Google
    I ordered the way overpriced fish and chips ($21). Avoid it. I got greasy, low quality fish scraps with dark flesh along one side (skin side). Cheap cut. I live in coastal New England and have eaten plenty of seafood all my life. This was bad, just plain bad. The french fries were no better, greasy and soggy. Most of it was thrown out. Go someplace else.

  • 1/5 Micaela S. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice employees but inedibly bad clam chowder. Took one bite and threw it out. NO flavor tasted like I imagine wallpaper paste does.

  • 3/5 Christine L. 1 year ago on Google
    Cheese fries were nothing special. Plain unseasoned fries with fake cheese sauce.

  • 1/5 M P. 1 year ago on Google
    Probably the worst (and most expensive) fish & chips I ever had. Avoid it. It’s a tourist trap. 30 dollars for a “fish?” and refried chips, and a “crab?” cake. Still looking for the crab. Also, the employees were not the kindest people on earth. Skip it and go to a different place like most people do. There’re many places around.

    Amazing lobster roll! Very buttery

  • 1/5 Jennifer K. 2 years ago on Google
    Visited on Sunday afternoon excited for some tasty seafood. I asked about the fish and chips and employee proceeded to show me a picture evidencing the nice big pieces so I ordered it, even though it was priced high ($18.99). HUGE MISTAKE! THE ORDER WAS NOT LIKE THE PIC SHOWN. The fish looked like scraps they dug out of the fryolater and tasted horrible. Chowder was watery and just plain awful. They couldn't even get it right with the coleslaw. TOTAL RIPOFF AND NEVER AGAIN.

  • 1/5 Yu Tzu T. 10 months ago on Google
    Ordered a $10 bread bowl. Very little clam chowder, it tasted just okay, the worst was that they sneakily over-charged my credit card without my consent. My credit card shows $12 even though I decided no tips were required since there were no sit down service. So they literally ripped me off...

  • 1/5 KAI M. 9 months ago on Google
    I ordered the fisherman's platter ($25) and it's totally worthless. Do not torture and test your taste and mental health.

  • 1/5 David T. 9 months ago on Google
    This place is pretty average. The calamari was gummy with no flavor. I would give it a 2, BUT I PAID 50$ for two plates and two drinks. It was NOT WORTH THE MONEY, so I lowered it to a 1.

  • 5/5 Samad Y. 4 months ago on Google
    I was in Boston over the weekend and stopped in Faneuil Hall ane went to Fisherman's net. The service was great, I ordered Fish n Chips and and a New England clam chowder. Fish was fresh and fries were crispy, perfect. chowder was very rich in flavor.

    Right in the heart of the busy Quincy Market Food Colonnade this place serves big portions of Authentic Fish and Chips and gets you in and out super fast! Run by a father/son team and their kitchen crew, this place is great! When you get your food head on outside and have a seat under the umbrellas! Highly recommend this this place, and can't wait to go back!
