Stripers Grille, Salisbury

If looking out over Newburyport Harbor from Stripers Grill's waterfront deck gives you a craving for fresh seafood, then you have to come to the right place. The menu brims with fresh catches, from appetizers of fried cherry-pepper calamari to entrees that include seafood casserole, pan-seared duck, and Stripers steak tips. Lobster fans will be torn between a shore-style low boil with 1.25 pounds of meat, corn, and red potatoes, and Stripers colossal lobster roll served on an oversized bun. Those who prefer turf to surf can order one of the steak or pasta dishes. Regardless of their selection, all guests enjoy soup and a sprawling salad bar, which accompany each entree for no additional charge.
