Finn's Seafood

Rhode Island


Finn's is an island institution, its bunting-draped deck the first cheerful sight that greets arrivals at the ferry dock. Come here for New England–style chowder, clams, lobster rolls, steamers and broiled fish that still taste of the ocean. There's a takeout window, too.
