docks seafood

i grew up in a fishing family in south portland, maine, my grandfather would filet haddock on his kitchen table, paper wrap it and then send me through the neighborhood to deliver. i worked for aseafoodrestaurant for many years where theseafoodwas incredibly fresh. i moved to limington and bay haven became ourseafoodrestaurant. it's amazing and when we moved back to sopo it was surprising to find out there wasn't anything close to that. until docks! this summer we went there many times and the scallops never disappointed. they were big sea scallops and so sweet and tender! the portions are great and the food is so fresh and delicious. my husband always gets the fisherman's platter and there is always lots of leftovers. the staff is friendly and fun to chat with. support your local businessman and get a great meal at the same time.

ate here just last week. had lobster roll and a cup of fish chowder, full of fresh haddock. lobster cooked just right, roll (not hotdog roll) was filled to the top with lobster meat. friend had haddock nuggets and shrimp special. no complaints, will definitely be back.seafooddone right.

the two customers below this must have been in the wrong place at the wrong time. docksseafoodis the very best, and there are times i think he went out back and fished it himself. i have absolutely no complaints, the food is fresh and tasty. i have always found the service great and everybody there is always very pleasant. it's one of the better places to have seafood, i always recommend them to all my friends and not one of them have had any complaints. a big thumbs up!!!!!

good freshseafoodwithout all the tourists and traffic. ate here 3 times this week while on vacation.

yum! but.... very tasty and generous portions, at a fair price. and, we don't have to brave the old port's traffic and lack of parking. we're lucky to have a goodseafoodrestaurant in south portland that offers take out. i called to order for pick up at 7:55, not aware that they close at 8. i was slightly put off by the person who answered the phone- she acted like i should have known they closed at 8. as i was hanging up, there was a voice in the background saying they would take my order. i don't think she was very happy and punished me by leaving out the tartar sauce. you really cannot have fried clams or fried haddock without tartar sauce, so i was pretty disappointed. if condiments are not automatically included, they should be offered. the surliness of the woman who answered the phone directly contrasted with the cheerful and appreciative demeanor of the gentleman who rang up the order when we got there, and was likely the voice saying he would take the order after she had reprimanded me. this mishap aside- i will go back and i'll request tartar sauce with my order and hopefully that unhappy employee will no longer be working at dock's!

cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. for anyone who is looking for casualseafoodin maine, this is the place. docks offers all the standard fried offerings (clams, shrimp, scallops, fish filets, etc) as well as all the usual varieties of lobster. in addition, they offer delicious baked/broiled dishes, chowders & bisque, healthy sides like baked potatoes, gluten-free options and yummy homemade desserts. they even have a fresh fish market (if you feel like cooking at home). the food is extremely fresh and prepared with skill. on one recent visit, i went with a party of 15 - one hour before closing. they got us seated and accommodated every order/request perfectly.

all summer long doc's had a great special on lobsters-5 for $25 bucks and they would cook them for you!! it was a really easy way to get lobsters for all our out of town guests.

if you called ahead of time they didn't flinch at providing the complete lobster dinners, (lobsters, corn, rolls, melted butter) all cooked, for 14 people hot and ready for pick up at the time i specified! great service, very friendly help and their take home and cook yourself selection ofseafoodis wonderful.
