Belle Isle - Winthrop

I went to Winthrop and the beaches around the area. I had a friend who grew up in the area recommend me Belle Isle for great food. Did not disappoint. I got the bake haddock combo, the one thing about the bake is that the fish serving is so big that you may want to have the bake transferred to another plate because it does release some water during cooking. Would have left nothing on the plate otherwise. Maybe have add a little fried trio sampler to taste all the delicious seafood such as scallop clams and calamari.

We came for lunch as a group of four and, we had a good experience at Belle Isle Seafood. Their seafood dishes were very fresh and tasty while the portions were healthy and filling. However, I must agree with other reviewers in that the prices were on the higher end. I mean, paying $180 USD cash for mainly 4 entrées, plus one drink or two, was definitely not cheap; and, the place is definitely far from being anything fancy. Yet, the atmosphere is casual but nice and, the staff was very friendly and diligent.

First time eating here, definitely will be back, we had clam dinner, fried scallops and fish sandwich. Everything was great, loved the onion rings added to the fries, generous portions, even the coleslaw was great, fast friendly service even on a busy Sunday afternoon. Highly recommend. Pricing was definitely reasonable.

Lobster Roll was to die for. Tons of lobster meat. Meat was all very sweet and tender and cooked perfectly. No fillers. Served cold with Mayo. You can also order no mayo and get hot butter on the side I ate about 2/3 of the meat before I could pick up the roll to actually eat it like a lobster roll. I ordered the lobster roll with claws, knuckles, and tails. Nice view of Boston harbor and it was fun to watch planes take off at Logan airport. The clam chowder was also excellent, very silky and smooth without being thin. Right up there with Legal Seafoods. I ordered the onion rings as my side. I was told they are made in house. Also excellent. Picture was after I ate 1/3 of the meat. The roll is absolutely stuffed!

Stopped here for a lobster roll, crab cakes and a bowl of prawns. The service was friendly but they tried to turn us over quite quickly. Food was nice. But expensive.
