Finding great seafood in Maine is easy. We’re known for the freshest catches, the best preparation, and some of the most authentically nautical places to eat it. But while we love fresh seafood, there’s something so comforting about a hearty basket of fried fish. Crispy and delicious, it might not be the healthiest but it sure does make us happy!

Susan’s Fish N Chips in Portland has been around since 1989, earning its way into the hearts of both locals and tourists.
