5 MA Spots Land On Best Seafood Restaurants In New England List

MASSACHUSETTS — Summer is here, and that means all your seafood favorites are on the menu from clam strips and lobster rolls to seared scallops and clam chowder. If you're looking for the best seafood in the region, Trips to Discover has you covered with the "15 Best Seafood Restaurants in New England."

It's no surprise that Massachusetts is well-represented on this list. Restaurants in Worcester, Essex, Yarmouth, Bourne, and Ipswich all made the cut.

Trips to Discover noted that New England is "known for its fresh, bountiful offerings of incredible seafood," and that narrowing it down to just 15 spots was a "near-impossible task." The site devised the list based on Google reviews, menu variety, and location.

Here are the five from Massachusetts that made the list:

• Woodman's of Essex: This restaurant scored points for serving what Trips to Discover called some of the best fried clams in the country.
• The Skipper Restaurant and Chowder House in Yarmouth: Since 1936, The Skipper has served up award-winning clam chowder and fresh lobster rolls. The Cape Cod staple also features "pristine views of the Nantucket Sound."
• The Sole Proprietor in Worcester: Trips to Discover said this restaurant, which has been around for more than four decades, is known for its "top-quality, locally sourced seafood in its elegant yet intimate dining area."
• Lobster Trap Restaurant in Bourne: First established as a fish market in 1969, this is a "fun and casual" spot with a patio, bar, fish market, and dining room featuring riverfront views.
• Clam Box of Ipswich: This "iconic destination for seafood fans" has been in operation for 85 years and serves fried clams, clam strips, and haddock filet sandwiches.
