I just got back from Captain's Cove and I thought that it was great. There was absolutely no traffic on the way in, after I got off of I95 of course. I wondered around the boat yard, taking pictures, unmolested for an hour and then had a great plate of fresh perfectly prepared mussels at a reasonable price at the marina restaurant, which was ...

The Middlebank II Charter Fishing was the BOMB!!!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/17/08
Our experience on the Middlebank II last week was one of our very best. In all my years of charter fishing this was the cleanest and comfortable experience I've ever had. The Captain actually cared if we caught fish. The mates were very helpful but not over baring.However, when I needed assistance they were there in a flash.They made sure their rentals & gear was top notch. A great experience.Telling everyone I know.

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/21/08

I used to go to the cove weekly to have a captains platter with my family- after the last two visits we will never go back.

Horrible food
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/10/08
We ate there this past weekend. The food was absolutely awful. The whole belly clams which cost a whopping $19.99 were pure garbage and from my perspective were not whole belly clams. The fries were cold and rubbery and the coleslaw was definitely scooped out of a tub. The fish and chips was not much better, fish was very greasy and fishy tasing. ...

Unflavorful Seafood
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/15/08
The whole belly clams are rubbery and tasteless. I've had better tasting strips. I can only speculate they come in already breaded and frozen. The lobster roll had some flavor. I should had had a burger, instead. And yes, it was very expensive considering the quality. They charge market fresh prices for poor quality seafood.
They had this event going on called the Swim the Sound 2007 and so it was a bit crowded. I admit I did not eat there. I went there after visiting the Beardsley Zoo and after walking around the Zoo in the hot 90 degree weather it was a very nice area to sit at the pier, with a $2.00 cup of ice cream in your hand, and enjoying the sweet smell of ...

Fun at the Seaport
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/07/06
This place is a hidden gem, it has all kinds of quaint little stores, a pretty decent seafood shack "world famous fish and chips", a bunch of boats docked to check out, a cute as can be little house on a pontoon for the ducks, fishing excursions, boating excursions, live music, and then there's beautiful view of the water. and to think, this is right in fairfield county.

Seafood old & tuff with Cardboard fries
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/01/05
Overall, a loud, smelly & expensive experience.. To be fair, maybe the waitstaff was having a cold & miserable day, but the prices were of exceedingly ripoff proportions. And the food portions were minimal.. JW
