“The next day we headed back to Boston.  On our way home, I wanted to try another lobster roll after the success the day before.  We hit the Friendly Fisherman in Eastham.  Wow!  While I have limited experience, it was clearly the finest lobster roll I have ever eaten.  It was so filled with lobster that I could barely find the bun.  Again, the bun was beautifully buttered and girdled.  The lobster was just kissed by mayo, enough to lightly dress it and actually accentuate the lobster's sweetness.  The lobster meat itself was so fresh and succulent.  It was perfectly cooked, tender with a wonderful briny sweetness.  I could go on for days about how wonderful it was.  Oh, yes...  And they were actually really friendly there too”

Welcome to The Friendly Fisherman!

My husband Michael and I bought our place back in 1989, the same year our daughter Alana was born. Originally, it was just the market selling fresh seafood.

We immediately opened the restaurant as Michael graduated with a degree in culinary arts, and making good food was his passion.  Whether it was a fancy standing rib roast or a fried clam, he knew that there was a right way and a wrong way to do it. "The first thing is to start with the freshest possible   ingredients, cook them to perfection, and serve a huge portion...don't leave anyone hungry."  "People eat with their eyes first, " he would say.  "It needs to look good AND taste good."

Unfortunately, I lost my husband to cancer in 2006, but my daughter and I, along with our staff strive to continue to live up to his standards and provide the freshest seafood we can find to offer for sale in the market, or to cook for you in the restaurant.

Thanks for checking us out!
