The best seafood on the South Shore. It blows the local competition away. I had the seafood platter and chowder. All of it was 5 stars. The food is delicious and seasoned well. The staff is young, friendly and very knowledgeable. Give it a shot you won't be disappointed.

I always go to the same place for seafood around Quincy until one day, my partner's mom told me to check out this market and recommended their fried oyster. We got this in additional to some fried scallops and whole belly clams. The food was great and the employees working there were really nice. I'm glad I've found another great option for seafood whenever I'm around the area.

If you've followed along on any of my reviews at seafood places, you'll hear me say it over and over again - i am very picky when it comes to where I get my seafood. You can get serious food poisoning if the seafood isn't cooked right or kept at the right temperatures. When I entered waves seafood market, the first thing I noticed was the shop's smell. You knew you were in a seafood store but it did not smell like one...and that's saying something! Already impressed with the smell and overall clean feel of the store, the seafood looked fresh and delicious too! We decided to grab some food and eat in to enjoy it as fresh as possible. Let me tell you, I grew up by Wolly Beach where everyone goes to Tony's or the Clam Box for seafood. Waves is WAYYYY BETTER, dare I say not even comparable. It's super fresh, not even a bit soggy, and not greasy. The seafood is plump, juicy, prepared properly, and well seasoned. It was also way more affordable than Tony's or the Clam Box. I also really like that they do non-fried items too for those who aren't feeling fried seafood but still want seafood! The staff was also a highlight. Every single one of them weren't just friendly and pleasant, they were all also very hospitable. They checked in on us 3 times while we were there. Made sure we had Silverware and enough sauces. They took initiative to learn more about their customers and checked in on the food quality. Overall, I'm going to be a frequent visitor and will refer all my south shore friends here. I hope they continue to keep their prices, service, and quality consistent for years to come!

We stopped by Waves on our way to the airport as we wanted one last lobster roll before heading back to FL, and boy were we glad we stopped. The lobster rolls (we had both hot and cold) were packed full of meat, and the roll itself was perfectly toasted and buttery too. We also had some lobster bisque, and it was smooth and flavorful; some of the best I've ever eaten. If we could give 10 stars we would, the food is that good!!

I was in the mood for some classic New England seafood after work on day and found Waves on Yelp. It wasn't too far away so we decided to try it out! We ordered ahead since they were closing at 6 that day, and the food was ready right as we arrived 15 minutes later. The interior is very clean and simple, a counter with their fresh seafood and an area with homemade items to go and sauces + drinks. There were a couple of 2 person tables inside but we opted to sit outside to take advantage of the nice weather. I shared a fried seafood platter and cold lobster roll with my partner. The quality of the seafood was a lot better than what we've had a few weeks earlier in the Cape and the portions were loaded. The fried scallops, clams, shrimp and fish were all piping hot, and the lobster roll was refreshing and delicious. One of the owners came outside to chat with us for a bit and they were extremely hospitable and down to earth. I'll definitely be coming back to Waves in the near future to fulfill similar cravings and buy some fresh seafood as well!

My partner and I got the lobster roll, 2 way fried combo (whole belly clams and haddock), and cornbread - TASTE: 4/5 - loved the fresh lobster and its buttered roll. Everything was tasty and well seasoned, including the breading of the fried combo, plus the flavorful coleslaw and sweet cornbread TEXTURE: 5/5 - nicely fried all around, satisfying and not too heavy PRICE: 4/5 - great for the quality seafood, both the cooked options and fresh market items. Looking forward to coming back for more! SERVING SIZE: 4/5 - filled us up for dinner and brought some fries home SERVICE: 4/5 - ordered online and our food was ready by the time we arrived to pick it up 20min later. The staff was super nice, and the additional to-go food on the shelves is also all made by Waves ATMOSPHERE: 4/5 - a bright, open, and modern space. Glad they had a few small tables; we decided to enjoy our food there instead of waiting til we were home PARKING: 5/5 - just enough spots in their dedicated parking lot

I've been meaning to try Waves out for month now and finally went last week. I can't give it five stars, but it was close! This is a spotlessly clean, bright, fresh seafood market and takeout counter. The fresh seafood counter had enough selections to make it interesting, and the prices were lower than what I saw at the grocery store this week. Most of the menu salads and chowders were in a refrigerated case, easy to browse and select for a quick pickup, if you didn't already call in a takeout order. Food: everything was tasty. The caesar salad we ordered had a freshly grilled piece of salmon added to it- still hot from the grill! A fried whole clam/fried shrimp combo plate was good- not enough clam bellies but more than the ubiquitous five shrimp you usually get on a plate like this. It was heaped with seafood, fries and cole slaw. The fries were limp and undercooked. Very undercooked - takes a star off for me. On the other hand, the cole slaw was surprisingly tasty, just not enough to put that star back. We added a large fish chowder that was ok. Not great but not bad. A bit more fish would have given it some identity and a bit of seasoning would have perked it right up. Customer Service: The delightful woman running the counter was right on the ball, packaging plates up, taking in-person orders, and being generally helpful, all with a smile. Plus, we added a tartar sauce to be sure we had enough for the fish and didn't get dinged an extra charge, as seems to be the norm everywhere now - I appreciated that! I'll be back to try fish & chips and to pick out some fresh seafood for one of those rare times I cook at home!

Everyone said if your going ro Boston you must eat seafood. Well I'm not a big fan of alot of seafood. But Lobster is one thing I will eat, so off we went to get a Lobster roll.. I would have preferred the roll warm I didn't hate it. I found it very tasty. The bread it was on was warm, toasted and full of Lobster. Even the fry's were good. The Lobster bisque was the best I ever had. The clam chowder was not for me, so I can only tell you my friend said it was delish. This is a small place. Take out only. Very clean. Staff was very nice.
