Seafood Markets in Kennebunkport

This casual spot at 321 Webhannet Dr in Wells does one thing well: serve a proper lobster dinner. The lobsters arrive already cracked at the claws and split down the tail, which saves you the wrestling match. They come with homemade chips that visitors consistently praise as a surprise standout. The clam chowder is creamy without being heavy, and the lobster rolls rank among the best in the region according to regular guests.

You'll eat outside on picnic tables when the weather cooperates, and there's ample parking. Staff are attentive and friendly. One regular noted the lobster occasionally runs slightly overcooked, so a squeeze of lemon helps. The prices are reasonable for what you get.

Located at 35 Saco Ave in Old Orchard Beach, this place has the feel of a roadside farmstand that happens to sell exceptional seafood. You can call ahead and pick up steamed lobsters timed so they're still perfect when you get home. They also stock lobster meat, crab meat, mussels, and clams, all priced fairly and sourced fresh. The shop carries fresh vegetables and other local sides too.

It's a family-friendly, laid-back operation that people return to year after year. One visitor from Pennsylvania has stopped by on multiple trips, always satisfied. The combination of quality seafood, kind service, and Maine charm keeps people coming back.

Mike's at 1162 Post Rd in Wells sells live lobsters at some of the best prices you'll find in Maine. This is a market, not a restaurant, but they'll boil your lobsters for a fee and you can eat at their outdoor picnic tables. They also sell fresh lobster meat (around 50 dollars per pound), crab meat, and clam chowder that visitors call the best in the area. They'll package chowder kits if you want to make it at home.

The bathrooms are clean, and the service is friendly. One visitor used their lobster meat to make risotto and raved about the result. Bring your own nutcracker, or ask if they'll crack the shells more thoroughly before you leave. Prices tend to be competitive, though quality can vary depending on what day you visit.

This shop at 130 Main St in Kennebunkport ranks among the highest-rated seafood spots in the area, consistently earning 4.9 out of 5 stars. They stock the freshest seasonal seafood: lobsters (including soft shell when available), oysters, and fish that changes with what's in season. You can buy raw and cook at home, or grab ready-made items like lobster rolls and clam chowder.

They also stock corn, wine, and beer, plus sides to round out a meal. The owner Colby and his team will handle catering requests too. One visitor noted soft-shell lobster here as their first time trying it, and the quality impressed. Prices are higher than at some other markets, but the freshness justifies it. The shop occupies a small, focused space on Kennebunkport's main drag.

At 1272 Portland Rd in Arundel, The Lobster Co stocks a wide variety of fresh seafood: lobster, fish, calamari, and more. The staff are consistently described as friendly and helpful. The seafood quality is high, especially around holidays when people stock up for gatherings. You'll find the same prices as nearby shops, with the convenience of being on the way to or from Kennebunkport.

One visitor noted that the calamari is particularly fresh. However, fish here comes pre-cut, so if you want a specific size or cut, you're limited to what's available that day. The market is small but well-stocked, and regulars stop by frequently for both the variety and the welcoming atmosphere.

Maine Shellfish Co at 43 Old Alewive Rd in Kennebunk operates as a wholesaler, so it's geared toward restaurants and businesses rather than individual diners. That said, they'll sell retail. The operation has been trusted by family restaurants for over 30 years. Staff are efficient and friendly, getting you in and out quickly.

This is the place if you're sourcing large quantities of high-quality shellfish. Individual visitors won't find a retail market experience here, but if you need bulk lobster, clams, or other shellfish for a event, it's worth calling. The 4.9-star rating reflects long-term relationships with business clients who depend on consistent quality.
