The name says it all. This towering gem with panoramic views of the Cape Cod Canal is an authority on all things seafood. Brothers Bob and Denny Colbert have fished out of Sandwich Marina since the ’80s. But their big break came when they snatched up the site in 2015 after the freezer plant that stood there for a century was torn down.
“What really drew us to this spot was the ability to have a large holding tank for our catch,” says Bob’s daughter and Chief Operating Officer Elizabeth Colbert.
Fishermen’s View is boat-to-table bliss, with a bonus seafood market filled with scallops, crab, lobster, and other freshly caught delights.
FLAVOR:
A seafood lover’s paradise, from sushi to shellfish and everything in between. The flawless lobster roll—all meat, no mayo—is an absolute must. Executive Chef Sean O’Regan offers a rich take on ravioli by stuffing it with succulent Jonah crab. Its claw meat is served separately, shrimp cocktail-style. Thick cuts of grilled swordfish pair well with the signature blueberry-lemon spritz cocktail.
VIBE:
It takes a village to run the largest restaurant on our list. There’s room for about 400 guests, but you’ll want to snag an online reservation to secure a table.
