Harbor Tide is a coastal seafood house built around one idea: buy directly from the docks each morning and keep the menu short enough to do it justice.
Harbor Tide's chef walks the docks every morning before the kitchen opens, buying whatever came in overnight. The chalkboard catch changes daily; the classics stay put.
The catch of the day changes daily — ask your server what came in this morning.
Half dozen, rotating selection from the morning delivery.
Poached jumbo shrimp, house cocktail sauce, lemon.
Oysters, shrimp, snow crab claws, and marinated mussels for two.
New England style, applewood bacon, oyster crackers.
Banana pepper rings, lemon aioli, marinara.
Lump crab, minimal filler, remoulade, pickled fennel.
"Best oysters in town, and you can watch the harbor while you eat them."
"The catch of the day is never a gimmick — it's genuinely whatever came in that morning."
"Took my parents for their anniversary. The crab cakes were the best they've had."
