Any seafood restaurant you choose in Belfast, ME, will naturally bring saliva to your mouth, especially if you love lobster and lobster rolls with tons of butter.

However, a massive platter of various seafood items, French fries, or onion rings with lots of tartar sauce and ketchup will tickle the palate. Since they’re locally caught and cooked, they’re fresh and delicious.

Whereas there are dozens of seafood restaurants around Belfast, ME, these are the ones I have enjoyed and people recommend consistently.

The Dockside Family Restaurant

The locals rave about eating out on the deck here that overlooks Belfast Bay and the friendly staff. However, you can get a view of the bay and the boats coming and going from inside the restaurant as well.

Many come for the lobster roll, while landlubbers love the steak and cheese. Either one is more than enough for most people. Plus, there’s a full-service bar if you want beer, wine, or cocktails with dinner or at the bar.
