Our menu highlights New England classics like buttery lobster rolls, crispy onion rings, and North Atlantic fish cooked in cholesterol-free oil. Recognized by the State of Connecticut and highly rated by loyal guests, Skippers is more than a place to eat, it’s an experience rooted in community and tradition.
Wherever you join us, the experience is the same, fresh seafood, warm hospitality, and a setting that makes every meal memorable.

At Skippers Seafood, every bite starts with quality you can trust. Our fried seafood is sourced from local and sustainable fisheries along the East Coast, bringing the freshest flavors straight to your plate. From cold water lobster out of Maine and wild-caught haddock from the North Atlantic to whole clams from Cape Cod, jumbo shrimp from the Gulf of Mexico, and sea scallops from George’s Bank, we take pride in knowing exactly where our ingredients come from. Even our burgers and ground beef are carefully chosen, sourced from Pat LaFrieda in New Jersey.
By partnering with trusted suppliers, we make sure each dish reflects the same freshness and care that has made Skippers a Connecticut favorite for over two decades.

GOOD Based on 1470 reviews Posted on J M2025-09-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fish fry was good. Serve and go kind of restaurant. More like a fast foodPosted on R D2025-09-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The shrimp platter only has 5 shrimp, but they are well seasoned and huge. That is the only downside to this family friendly seafood spot on the boardwalk in Niantic. The food was hot, the staff was friendly, and the food was served hot! We had a lovely view of the water and my children ate everything on their plate!Posted on D B2025-08-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
