Captain's Galley Seafood captures the spirit of a working waterfront fish house, bringing classic New England coastal cooking to the table in a relaxed, family-friendly setting. Decorated with nautical touches — rope, netting, vintage maritime maps, and weathered wood — the dining room puts you in the mood for a proper seafood feed before you've even ordered. The kitchen leans on time-tested technique: fresh fish hand-breaded and fried to order, crab legs steamed until just right, and chowder simmered low and slow.
The menu draws from the broad tradition of American coastal seafood, blending New England staples like whole-belly fried clams and creamy chowder with Gulf and mid-Atlantic favorites such as oysters and crab cakes. Steamed seafood options are priced by the pound, letting diners build their own feast, while the fried platter lineup covers every crowd-pleaser from shrimp and scallops to flounder and a signature combo plate. Broiled and grilled options round things out for guests who prefer lighter preparations.
Beyond the seafood, Captain's Galley keeps things approachable for the whole table with a kids menu, straightforward sides, and desserts that nod to coastal classics like key lime pie and bread pudding. The focus is on honest, fresh-tasting seafood at a fair price — the kind of meal that leaves you satisfied without requiring a reservation or a formal dress code.

Some items may be prepared gluten-free on request — steamed seafood, side salads, and some broiled or grilled fish are generally good candidates. However, the kitchen also fries breaded items, so cross-contamination is possible. If you have a gluten intolerance or celiac disease, speak directly with staff when ordering so they can accommodate you safely.
Most fried and broiled platters include a choice of two sides from options such as french fries, coleslaw, corn on the cob, hush puppies, and side salad. Steamed seafood orders are typically served with drawn butter, lemon, and may include corn as a seasonal accompaniment.
