If you’re looking for real, fresh-from-the-water seafood, Sayle’s Seafood Market is the place to go! The seafood here is never old or stale — you can taste the freshness in every bite. Everything feels like it came straight from the ocean to your plate. Their seafood menu is amazing, with so many delicious options to choose from. Whether it’s fried, steamed, or grilled, the quality is outstanding and cooked perfectly. You can tell they truly care about freshness and flavor. And the best part? 🦞 You can actually buy live lobsters, including huge ones nearly 2 feet long! Seeing those massive, real lobsters alone tells you how authentic and high-quality this place is. If you love seafood and want fresh, real, high-quality ocean food, Sayle’s Seafood Market is a must-visit. Highly recommend

One of the best places I ate at on the island. This place is a seafood market and serves a lot of the restaurants. They also have a kitchen and I enjoyed some fantastic clam chowder as well as a fried oyster sandwich. These were really good. The sandwich came with a bag of cape cod chips. The soup came with Westminster oyster cracker. Also got some steamed little neck clams with butter. Prices are perhaps the cheapest on the island. ($6 chowder and $19 fried clam sandwich, steamed clams were $12.95) Staff is friendly. There's about 3 tables outside on their deck with maybe 6-8 seats for those who wish to eat there. Wait time wasn't bad at all - maybe 10 minutes. It was not a far walk from the main drag. Would definitely come back again.

They are my go to wintertime whole belly fried clams. Haven’t tried much of their takeout food but I have seen some ordered looks great! the prices are reasonable for Nantucket. Have ordered fresh fish from them and it was delicious. very grateful that they stay open through the winter.

Nice fried food spot. The scallops and salmon were great. The fries were pretty good. The crab cakes were covered in breading and were not good to us. But everything else was great. They had some of the biggest lobsters inside that I have ever seen. The fresh fish case had a lot of seafood as well. All of the seating was outside. Inside there is only space to order and pay.

Absolutely delicious base scallops from Nantucket lightly breaded served with tartar sauce the best I've ever had. Definitely a must to try definitely not fancy outside service available right next to the Bay. Fresh and delicious.
