    I had my first experience at the Daily Catch in 1983 at the location across from Jimmy’s. I have been singing their praises ever since, and continue to make a point to eat there every time I visit the city. The menu from top to bottom is fantastic! You can’t go wrong with whatever you order. I have brought so many friends over the years raving about the monkfish Marsala and now they are hooked as well. They are one of the few restaurants that use genuine North Atlantic calamari. All these restaurants that advertise Point Judith squid do not realize the squid is being processed in China or India. But whether it be clams, mussels, calamari, or something else you can’t go wrong. They also have some nice Italian wines if you so desire. I highly recommend you make this a must go to when you visit or live in the Boston area. Paul and Maria started it and the kids have picked up the ball and run with it! You won’t be disappointed and will probably become a lifelong fan like myself.

    Amazing, went here before for one of my birthdays and had to come back for another. Brought my family with me this time and they absolutely loved it. One of my favorite restaurants ever. They always have fresh seafood with incredible flavor. Price isn’t the cheapest but, it’s worth it. I will always come back!

    Great pasta and calamari dishes. Octopus was so tender and calamari meatballs were surprisingly tasty too. Casual atmosphere and prompt and friendly service. Across the street from the waterfront.
