Joe Fish Casual Seafood specializes in fresh nautical cuisine served and spiced with New England flare. Calling upon more than 30 years of restaurant experience, owner Ronald LeBreton designed his menu to accommodate the seasoned palates and land-locked appetites alike. Diners can stop in for lunch to try a lump crab roll lightly tossed in mayo on a New England roll ($10.99). For dinner, carnivores can fork through the Downeast haddock, which consists of haddock chunks baked in lobster sherry sauce ($13.99), or the Rockport—one jumbo lump crab cake and a fried maine lobster tail with lobster mashed potatoes ($19.99). Those with allergies or a taste for turf can also choose from a separate menu, which includes hand-cut steaks and pasta options.

Beyond its flavorful successes, Joe Fish Casual Seafood remains health conscious, offering baked and broiled foods while also preparing its fried foods with oil devoid of cholesterol and trans fats. Likewise, the dining room and casual bar are both nonsmoking, a factor that further increases comfort for all diners and oblivious, tank-dwelling lobsters.
