Chipman's Wharf

At the end of Wyman Road in Milbridge, Chipman's Wharf offers something special: fresh Maine seafood, a working waterfront, and a family fishing tradition that stretches back four generations.

Brothers Chris and Jason Chipman own and operate the business, continuing a way of life passed down through their family. Both captain their own fishing vessels, following in the footsteps of their father, John Chipman, who has spent more than fifty years on the water. Local fishing boats bring their catches directly to the wharf, connecting customers with the people and traditions behind Downeast Maine seafood.

Fresh Seafood from the Working Wharf

The seafood market offers live Maine lobster and a changing selection of locally harvested seafood, including clams, mussels, scallops, oysters, crabmeat, lobster meat, and fresh fish. Visitors can shop for seafood to prepare at home, while customers farther away can explore online ordering and seafood shipping through the Chipman's Wharf website.

Lunch with a Waterfront View

During the warmer months, the lunch grille serves lobster rolls, lobster dinners, and other seafood favorites. Visitors can enjoy their meals in the beach seating area, on the rooftop deck overlooking the wharf, or indoors. With fishing boats coming and going, lunch here offers a close-up look at a working Maine waterfront.

A Little Something to Take Home

The gift shop adds another reason to visit, with Maine-made gifts, apparel, children's items, and even treats for four-legged family members.

Whether you're picking up fresh seafood for dinner, enjoying a lobster roll by the water, or sending a taste of Maine to someone far away, Chipman's Wharf brings the traditions of Downeast fishing to the table.
