The Blue Sail Seafood Market & Restaurant

The food is fresh & delicious & interesting; even the carrots are better than anybody else's carrots! The service is cheerful & prompt. I was puzzled to see that someone found the portions small -- I've always found them more than generous.

Good review time! Wow!! So in the search for fresh white fish (our local metro is not cutting it and we haven't had good white fish from there for a while probably due to supply chain issues) , mom and I took a drive into Picton to Blue Sail Seafood Market and Restaurant. We met the chef Jeff and had a chat about the ever so increasing price of food and lack of seafood markets in the area. Belleville used to have Kalays. Kingston has Mike Mundells. Jeff told us his story how he changed careers and became a chef! Great decision! Anyhow we bought some halibut and salmon. Went into Belleville to pick up some items then came back through Picton. On the way we decided what the heck. It's probably going to be our last outing and drive for a while and we went back to Blue Sail. The hostess, and I believe owner, Rachel stated that because we didn't have a reservation we were probably not able to be served. Their supply was running low. She said hold on and went to speak with Jeff the chef. He took a look at us and said ahhh yes the ladies from *****. Come on in! I ordered the scallops and risotto, and a garden salad to keep it legal to the diet (oops) and mom ordered the maple glazed rainbow trout. We were treated to an Ahi Tuna on Wonton crisp. Totally out of our comfort zone but absolutely delicious!! The meals came out and I don't remember ever smiling and eating. I've never had risotto before so can't compare it, but wow!! Delicious! Mom's dish looked wonderful as well and she said it was awesome. I didn't take pictures because I didn't want to lol. Just wanted to enjoy the experience! It's a definite go again restaurant!! Thank you Jeff and Rachel for the wonderful experience and fitting us in!

Absolutely Incredible Meal, Everything was perfectly made and so tasty!! The Service was 5 Star, Fast, Friendly! We will definitely come back!! Highly recommended !! Thank you Rachel you are wonderful!! Cathy & John

Called to reserve food at the market today, was told that that can’t be don despite it saying to do so on their instagram. The manager messaged me to clear things up. Very polite and professional. I appreciate the effort they took. Ended up just walking in and picking up the food. Highly recommend. Everything is delicious and staff is great.

Been a few times and absolutely love it! Fresh seafood dishes at reasonable prices, flavour is always on point and also texturally too! Clearly a lot of thought goes into the menu and execution so kudos to the chef and thanks for maintaining consistent hours even in the off season!

Mediocre food, over priced for what you get. Stingy on the sea food. This was our second time trying the Blue Sail. First time was shortly after opening so while we didn’t have a good experience we thought could have been early growing pains. Unfortunately this second time wasn’t better. The food is overpriced and small portions. The seafood chowder has lots of potatoes and an abundance of carrots but little sea food. Same with the pasta. The crab cake was really small for $15. We were so excited when a seafood restaurant came to town but sadly we won’t be back.

Service was good. Tried the lobster-shrimp burger - good, mussels came out underdone at first but resolved and good, risotto - was ok just not extraordinary for the price. Oysters were delish.

We enjoyed a delicious dinner here and I highly recommend. I had a scallop risotto with large sea scallops perfectly cooked. Mussels in white wine and garlic beforehand were outstanding. My husband had a crab cake and the lobster and shrimp roll, which he said was delicious. Great fries. His roll and the baguette I got with the mussels tasted homemade. I don’t understand some comments about small portions. I disagree. I finished with the homemade chocolate bark and a great cup of coffee. Attentive staff and a pleasant setting.
