What to Look For in Seafood Restaurant
The Jersey Shore is synonymous with fresh seafood. From dock-to-table catches brought in daily by local fishing fleets to legendary raw bars serving briny oysters and clams, the shore offers some of the best seafood on the East Coast. Many restaurants have their own fishing boats or relationships with local captains, ensuring the freshest possible catches.
Insider Tips
- Look for restaurants near fishing docks or marinas - proximity often means fresher seafood
- Ask what came in that day - good restaurants know their daily catch
- BYOB restaurants often have better food quality (savings on liquor license go to ingredients)
- Check if they source from local boats like Viking Village in Barnegat Light
