Flanders Fish Market & Restaurant | Seafood Dining in East Lyme, CT

YUM, good vibes and good food. Came here for brunch and also for dinner. Definitely a sweet spot any time of the year.

Don't eat at the overpriced food options at Mohegan Sun when Flanders Fish Market is so close by. This place is now a regular stop for us either on way to or from the casino. The staff is over the top friendly. The food is absolutely amazing. I'm not a seafood eater yet I've been here at least a dozen times and always find a great meal. Want a quick bite? Their sandwiches are tremendous. Looking for a larger meal? Their steaks are of the highest quality. Want in on a little secret? The pizza (yes pizza) is absolutely amazing. I've begun to order one to go with every meal.

Everything was delicious l. The creamy chowder is so delicious! The service was great. Very nice atmosphere.

Excellent chowder and fish sandwich. Large portions. Good service. Third time here, close to I95.

This review is for the creamy clam chowder. Absolutely amazing!! It's not the really white chowder you often see, but looked more like the color and consistency of thickened clam juice. Very appealing and very tasty! The potato and clam pieces are cut on the smaller side, which I thought was just right. It was not over-seasoned and there was an interesting flavor in the background that we couldn't quite identify. Maybe sour cream? Friendly staff. The servers all work together to take care of you and give good service.

It is truly a fish market and a restaurant. You walk into to fish market where you see all the fresh seafood on ice in the case. Then you walk into the restaurant and bar where you're welcomed warmly. We were a group of 8 and served efficiently, gracefully, professionally by Lori (or Laurie). Feed was outstanding. I had steamers, clam chowder (creamy) and the lobster pot pie. Scrumptious! There is nothing I would have wished was different. Will definitely be back when in this part of the state!

Great lunch! The clear broth chowder was insanely delicious. Nothing fancy just delicious. The porta stuffing was good!

It's been a few years since we visited last and were very pleasantly surprised. I saw that you can get in the wait list online but make sure it's at least an hour before, otherwise the system will not accept it. Before going we checked out the menu online and saw they had added quite a few more options than the last toner we were there. Went a little early since we knew it would get crowded quickly, and yes but the time we finished dinner the place was packed. We were seated right away, opting for a regular table versus the high top tables. Orders came quickly and food was delicious. Although portion size was large for the items we picked. Soup was excellent and was surprised at how tasty the blackened Brussels sprouts were. All in all a very fine dinner.

Stopped here briefly on the way to a wedding, pulled in thinking it was a fish market only, but the restaurant has super cool vibes. The menu is amazing, everything you could want. We ordered the hot lobster rolls which were market priced, but overall reasonable. Our waitress was straight to the point, friendly, and has us seated, eaten, and out the door quickly, which is what we needed. We stopped by at 2 on a Saturday so everything was relatively quiet but not empty. Adding this spot to our "must eat at" in the future! Wish we had one closer to us!
