Seafood At Its Finest

by Diane Alter

Essential components of visiting Martha’s Vineyard include T-shirts, flip-flops, beachwear, sunscreen, and an appetite. When hunger calls and cravings are for the freshest and finest seafood visit The Net Result Fish Market in Vineyard Haven.

Fresh fish options vary according to availability, but you will always find a vast and varied offering of New England’s finest live lobsters, king crab legs, MV Bay scallops, soft shell crabs, bluefish, striped bass, wild shrimp, flounder, wild salmon, clams, oysters, and much more.

For visitors who want to enjoy this fresh catch prepared for them, stop by The Net Result for some takeout that can be enjoyed outside The Net Result on one of the many picnic benches.

Start with thick, creamy chowder or bisque, some peel & eat shrimp, steamed mussels, or crabcakes. Salad offerings include shrimp, tuna, or crab. Sandwich options (on a roll or wrap) range from shrimp salad to chipotle shrimp to fried clams to a fish dog with tartar. Still, the main event here is the Lobster Meat Roll. Made with chunks of fresh lobster, melted butter (no mayo), and piled into a toasted bun it is a taste of MV nirvana.

Carnivores can choose from burgers, chicken sandwiches, or hot dogs. A very respectable veggie burger is a popular menu item.

One year after the pandemic interrupted travel plans, things were back to normal–and then some–for The Net Result.

“It was a great summer– very busy,” General Manager Michael Holtham told This Week on MV. “We would like to thank everyone for their business and support.”

This upper-scale fish market is what seafood dreams are made of. Come in a see for yourself. Located at 79 Beach Road in Vineyard Haven, visit its website at mvseafood.com for complete menu offerings, hours of operation, and shipping details.
