Seafood recs
My daughter will be visiting from Philadelphia next week. She wants to experience New England seafood. Any suggestions? Prefer not over an hour away from Wolfeboro. Thank you very much.

Ton of places towards the coast--Petey's, Ray's, The Old Salt, etc. etc.--but not much in the Wolfeboro area. My choice in the neighborhood would be The Bob House--I LOVE their fried platter.

A favorite of mine is Bay Haven, Rt 25, Cornish Maine. Usually a line out the door.
https://www.bayhavenlobsterpound.com/Menu Fisherman's Platter is highly recommended |

New England sea food is very often a seafood platter, fried. That is usually a measure of how well they fry food, not the seafood itself. If I want good seafood i find Portsmouth is the closest ( 1 hour from you ) place for quality seafood. Two choices I would consider there are Jumpin Jays, or Row 34. Both have excellent seafood, a lot of it off the boat , and nicely done. Upscale and worth it. Simple New England platters or lobster, go to Newicks in Dover.

As unbelievable as it sounds, I’ve talked with people who traveled from Portland, ME to get the fried haddock sandwich at Garwood

How about Jena's Lobster Quest on Rt 16 in Ossipee. She has the best clam chowder, whole belly clams and lobster roll in the area in my opinion. Jena's is only open Thursday through Sunday in the winter. My family's favorite during our summer visits.

Jena's just north of the intersection of 28 and 16 in Ossipee is quite good.
I will also recommend the Haddock Sandwich at the Mountainview Station in Ossipee. They have a number of other seafood selections as well. |

seafood
Jena's is great seafood. However, I think they close in the winter. I've eaten there many times and we order a lobsters for a reunion every summer.

Best thing you can do is tell her to stay home and visit during June, July, or August. If she comes during that summer time frame then you can take a spin over to POPS Fried Clams in Alton Bay, and obtain some of the best whole clams (which I think you like yourself) plus some great scallops! . |

Seafood
Bobhouse is, indeed, excellent for fish dishes! And the Union Diner (a few doors down from the intersection of Route 11 and Weirs Boulevard (Laconia) has great haddock (fried or not) and I hear the fried clams are excellent. I hear Lyons Den has great scallops.

Wolfeboro Seafood
As you know seafood in Wolfeboro off season is tough. Portsmouth is the way to go or head east to ME for the best!
Go where the Portsmouth locals go. BG's Boat House https://bgsboathouse.com/ Jumpin Jays is great! More on the cuisine side. Downtown Portsmouth is pretty for the holidays. Especially Strawberry Banke!

When buying or experiencing a fish dinner anywhere you should not be able to smell a fishy odor. |

If flying in from Philly...first consider flying into Manchester not Logan due to convenience and frequent flights to/from Philly. If you land there, consider:
Hooked in Manchester and Surf in Nashua as two good seafood destinations. |

Billys on mile road in Wells Maine. Just a tad more than an hour but worth it.

Philadelphia, home of Bookbinders! Best Turtle soup ever. But also famous for lobster.

There is something to be said for a cook that really knows how to fry stuff. I fried my turkey this year and while waiting for it to be done dropped in a few oreos coated in pancake batter and some torn off pieces of pop up dinner rolls with cheese inside. Thanks me later.

Seafood Choices
Granite Steak Grille, Rochester; can't go wrong; something for everybody.
Windjammers, Rochester; next to the RR tracks; simple. Atlantic Grille, Rye; worth the ride; enjoy the Seacoast. More upscale, worth the price, especially if you've already traveled from Philadelphia. Tilton House of Pizza, downtown Tilton: I was surprised and greatly pleased wtih the haddock as well as the pizza, subs and Italian choices. Great family run place. Don't know if they have whole clams. Generous portions, very fair prices. Whoda thunk it! |
