Anthony's Seafood

Dropped by on my way to Newport from Boston. The place was conveniently located along the route, so we came by to check out their fish and chips and the Rhode Island chowder. Everything seemed basic, but they were still delicious and were made with the freshest ingredients possible. They had some local hot sauce on the table which was weirdly addictive, and we enjoyed dipping the fish and chips in the sauce. The chowder was also a nice surprise, and I liked the clear broth which had a strong onion flavor that nicely complemented the clam bits in it. Definitely recommend trying them out for a quick bite.

Are you wanting a lobster roll? Then Anthony’s Anthony's Seafood is the place you want to go!! They have the freshest seafood at a fair price. Also, Anthony's sells fresh fish to go. Enjoy eating inside or out on the patio. The staff was extremely friendly and the service was fast. I highly recommend stopping at Anthony's for a meal.

Small spot with delicious food. Had the lobster roll with fries and kung pow calamari. It was good but the taste becomes overwhelming (not a bad thing). One side is the restaurant and the other side you can order raw fresh seafood to go. It's a cool spot to grab food to go not a fancy sit down resturant.

There are many seafood options in and around the Newport/Middletown area. But as with most tourist-driven towns, it can be difficult to decide which are actually good and which are tourist traps. We were staying in the Middletown area and had NOT had our seafood fix yet. We knew many popularly reviewed places were back toward the Wharf and did not care to drive in that direction only to drive back (probably hitting traffic both ways). I was glad I googled the area and was able to find Anthony’s. It was only about 5 minutes or so from our hotel and they closed at 8 pm on a Friday. I arrived there at about 7 PM ish to grab some take out to bring back to the hotel. The parking lot seemed on the fuller side, but there were still spaces available. I would imagine Friday night would be one of their busier nights. There are some tables and seating outdoor in front of the space. You enter into the seafood market, which was already closed at that time. The market was big and seemed to have (from their price lists and signs) lot of options. You then wait in line (of there is one at the time) for your turn to order. Once you reach the counter, you order whatever you want. They have a variety of seafood items: shrimp, fish, scallops, clam strips, lobster rolls..etc...as well as a variety of beverage (alcoholic and non). Once you order, they will give you a number. You then take that number and sit where you want. You can stay there and eat at an empty table, or take it to go. There are some benches where you can sit and wait for your food but also a few tables around including a separate room, off to the side, with tables and seating. After about 10-15 minutes or so, my food was ready. They currently have a small table off to the side with plastic utensils, straws and napkins. The family was pleasantly surprised when I brought the food back to the hotel...everything was super fresh and tasted great. Perfectly fried, not overdone and well seasoned. I want to mention that all staff there were very efficient. They were hustling to get things done, all while being friendly and patient with customers, which can sometimes be hard to balance. The prices also seemed to be very reasonable compared to other seafood places in the area. I would love to return when the market is opened to get a few things to take home to cook. I highly recommend Anthony for any seafood lover...don't be fooled by the other surrounding tourist traps! Anthony's is the real deal!
