Going to Providence RI looking to find fresh fishermans seafood stand in Providence or Newport

Question

tried looking for them on the net to no avail. I thought there might be some spots where fishermen sell road side lobsters, shrimp etc...

Answer 1

Putting a boat in Newport is pretty expensive (lots of sailing, big yachts, tourists, etc.).  Providence is too far north. Most of the fishermen are down at Point Judith (in Narragansett, RI).  You can usually find someone selling something fresh out of the Atlantic.
