What User likes about Maine Black Bear Seafood Co:
This is the best seafood in the area, hands down. I won't even consider ordering fish anywhere else. Bruce is like the funny, cantankerous uncle I always wished for: he speaks his mind, doesn't beat around the bush, and cooks up the most amazing seafood in the entire Catskills. And his dog is just too cute - seeing them both at the market always puts a smile on my face. This place is a hidden gem in every way, from t... View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Maine Black Bear Seafood Co:
This restaurant claims to be open until 9 o'clock, but on two occasions when I attempted to visit, it was already closed before 8 o'clock. They should only advertise their hours accurately on Google and on their door. I will not be attempting to visit again. View all feedback.
