Hidden Gems of North-Central Connecticut

ENFIELD, CT — Taylor Road in Enfield is a mainly residential street, serving as the main connector between the Hazardville and Scitico sections of town and East Longmeadow, Mass. (including the dreaded rotary). However, there are a few businesses located in that stretch, including a small white building which houses Cold Harbor Seafood & Market.

Since opening at 465 Taylor Road in 2012, Cold Harbor has provided "the freshest fish and seafood from the docks of Boston" to its customers. From classic items like cod, haddock, swordfish, tuna, seabass, salmon and scallops, to specialty selections such as king crab, snow crab, lobster, oysters and steamers - Cold Harbor satisfies every seafood lover.

Freshly made salads, chowders and heat-and-eat meals are prepared in Cold Harbor's kitchen, including fish tacos, lobster rolls, surf-and-turf burgers, crab cake sandwiches, corned beef Reubens, soups and crab and shrimp salads. Party platters may be ordered with 48 hours' notice by calling 860-763-0522.
