Bet’s Fish Fry (Boothbay, ME)

Booth Boy Road & Common Drive

One of my favorite shoots to date was this one, at Bet’s Fish Fry in Boothbay Harbor. This hardly talked about street food delight is owned and operated by one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met. Besides being loved by the locals, Bet dishes out some mean fried haddock and fries. Next summer be sure to plan a road trip around Bet’s Fish Fry.

What a great place, I must now have some fish and chips in the next day or sooooo. There is a 'dive' restaurant in Redford, MI called “Bet & Jess Fish and Chips” with some of the best fried fish in the area; and at first I was somehow hoping they were connected…..looks just like it's only the 'Bet' name.
woohah

that place isn't street food. looks like a brick and mortar to me

It used to be a trailer, but they needed more space, so they built the shack

Haha. Great.. my little sister Bet needs to get into franchising.When she hatched this idea years ago, we all knew between her personality, great fresh right off the boat fresh haddock and a killer location-it would be a hit..People line up in their jammies waiting for her to open.. Can you imagine a Bets in Las Vegas-NYC-LA…Margaret-Maine Lobster Chef of 2008 and mother to Mac-Maine Lobster Chef of 2009

Very cool! You need to come do a show down in Orlando. A late night taco truck city sets up after dark here with lots and lots of trucks, all in one central location!

I've lived in downtown Orlando for almost a decade. Where is this taco truck?!

This is the best fish sandwich in the Northeast and there are many to choose from believe me!

when does she open for the year? Its definitely the best fish I’ve ever had. The dill mayo puts it over the top.

I’m from South Jersey and vacation in Boothbay Harbor almost every year, and Bet’s is probably the thing that my family looks forward to the most. I’ve yet to try any haddock that even comes close to Bet’s, and she as well as everyone there, truly are as sweet as they come!

The only downside is that she’s closed Saturday night – Monday, and we always come up on Saturday! Let me tell you, it’s a long 2 days waiting for Tuesday to come around!

Just ate here last Wednesday. The best fish and chips ever! Cooked up and served very quickly. That very generous half portion shown is $8.00.

BET is one of a kind !! I just wanted to mention that the original trailer burned in a dramatic flash , there is a film of the fire held by the local TV channel here in Boothbay Harbor !!
