Watch for new hours for 2011. We almost didn't open at all this year at all. Capt Barts will be closed on Sundays and Mondays. OPEN Tuesday thru Saturday. WE HOPE! Fridays will stay the same 4-6 pm, Sat. 12-5 but the other hours are going to change due to schedules and availabilty of trucks to meet the boats. Fuel prices are limiting the boats and also the trucks to keep the prices competitive. As soon as we can make it work, hours will be announced. We're shooting for 12-5 Tues. Weds. Thurs. The phone will be hooked back up next week as the phone company forgot to do it last week. We are going to have to depend on large orders by phone. We have the ability to get everything fresh everyday but just can't send an extra truck out at the last minute like we did in the past. If a large order is needed for Sundays, it must be ordered by the Wed. before. We will hold your order till Sunday A.M. in the tanks and meet you for pick-up. We hope you understand the situation. We thank you for your understanding and support. See you Friday, June 17th 4-6 P.M. Linda and Bart

If you'd rather let us do the cooking...we have fresh seafood coming in tuesday,wednesday and friday from Mehan Fisheries and Ipswich Shellfish....... fresh haddock is really nice right now and we're getting fresh medium to small whole belly clams from northern Maine.Also some very nice sea scallops and Mehan Fisheries gets some of the best swordfish around.
Mehan tests the fat content before he buys it at the docks.As he explains,swordfish that are migrating are thinner and yield a very dry filet so he only buys whole fish that have been feeding and have been fattened up.
Most of the big chains buy from the lowest bidder and you don't get the best quality.Most restaurants get the best seafood and as far as retail goes......the two best places I know of are Capt'n Barts and EM Heath's

Sam
Went to EM Heath on your suggestion. All I found was pre-packaged (styrofoam tray - cellophane wrapped), pre-weighed servings. No whole fish or custom cut fish. Did I miss something? This was in a section at the rear of the store. I am used to seeing the fish whole, checking the eyes, skin, flesh firmness.

Just got home from a long weekend up at the lake, went to Cap't Bart's yesterday. We got lobsters, shrimp, scallops and steamers. Everything was first rate, but the steamers were by far the BEST I have ever had. What a jewel in the rough that place is!

Grady..they package it up in the meat room....they receive whole fish and then portion it.......we had swordfish on sat and it was awesome......also the wild salmon was incredible. It's really the best around. They get delivered 3 times a week and always fresh..........I'm only ranting because I know where they buy their fish. I'm sure you'll be pleased with any of their fin fish.
Also they carry, catfish, trout, tilapia.......stay away from that. It's all farm raised and previously frozen. Try the sword, salmon, haddock and occasionally halibut and you'll be happy !! :-)
