Welcome to The Madison Fish Tale
1301 Boston Post Road, Madison, CT
Open Year-Round | Rain or Shine
Over the past few years, we've had the privilege of serving you through some challenging and transformative times. Like so many local businesses, we adapted quickly during the pandemic — introducing curbside pickup, waitress service, and expanded outdoor dining. What started as a necessity soon became something more: a way to meet our guests exactly where they are. That spirit of flexibility inspired the new service model we've embraced today.
Whether you're craving a classic lobster roll or just looking for a relaxed place to eat, our Madison location offers several ways to enjoy your meal — no matter the season.
Dine-In Service (Indoor & Porch Seating)
