Like many New England coastal towns, Falmouth, Massachusetts was once an important center for shipbuilding, agriculture and whaling. While these industries have come and gone, Falmouth's prowess as a fishing center remains. Fresh fish, whether its bluefish, haddock or Atlantic salmon, arrives each day to the Falmouth area's many fish markets and seafood restaurants. Lobsters, clams, mussels, oysters and other shellfish are also abundant. Some seafood restaurants also have seafood markets inside, and many fish markets offer ready-to-eat takeout menus.
Owned and operated by the Siscoe family since 1996, Wimpy's of Osterville offers both full sit down dining and a seafood market. Wimpy's casual, family friendly atmosphere invites guests to enjoy classic New England seafood dishes such as stuffed haddock, New England clam chowder, oysters Rockefeller and, of course, fresh Maine lobster. Wimpy's very own seafood market offers a wide range of fresh seafood including salmon, swordfish, sea scallops, yellow fin tuna, clams, mussels, haddock, sole and cod so you can prepare your own delicious meals at home. Head to Wimpy's every Sunday from 11 am to 2 pm for a classic New England-style brunch.
