Where to buy great fresh fish in Boothbay Harbor?

Renting a cottage in Boothbay Harbor the first week of July, cannot wait, first visit to the area ever. I have gleaned a ton of useful information on this board -- thanks to all contributors -- but have not seen any mention of where to buy fresh fish. Sadly I am allergic to all shellfish so will not be able to indulge in lobster (sniff) but I do love all fin fish and hope to be able to buy some super-fresh fish while I am there. Any guidance much appreciated. Will post a report after my trip, of course.

    gretchen---we just moved to the boothbay region (summer place)----best place for fish in boothbay harbor so far has been oak st provisions----robinson's wharf may be ok but some of the fish in the case when we were there was clearly frozen----there is another place on atlantic ave (lobster company i forgot the name of) that we haven't tried yet. i fear that fresh fish in boothbay is not in great abundance. we have found excellent fish (halibut, sword, tuna) at simpson's on rte 1 in wiscasset, but that's a bit of a hike.----would be interested in your experience.----madoc

      Great, thanks for the info madoc! I will report on what I find. The Boothbay Lobster Wharf, 97 Atlantic Ave, is near my rental so I will definitely check that out and am very glad to have your recs as well.
