4. Louie’s Seafood Market

This week I had the pleasure of spending time with Arnold Pappas, owner of Louie’s Seafood Market. Arnold has been in the commercial seafood business for over 40 years and opened shop in our great town in 2015.

Louie’s Seafood Market purchases wild caught sustainable seafood from the fish pier in Boston. Their team makes a round trip 2-3 times per week to ensure that their costumers have the freshest seafood in the state. Arnold’s passion and knowledge of seafood is one of the best in the region. 

Next time you are looking for salmon, lobster, or any other underwater treat, please consider Louie’s Seafood Market!
