Local-caught fish restaurant
Is there a restaurant within 200 miles that serves a wide variety of fish caught nearby that same day? We have wonderful local fish that I can buy from Samuels (porgy, striped bass, tuna, monkfish, various croakers/drums, eels, mackerel) but all I ever see at any restaurant…

What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors praise the Point Pleasant Fishermen's Co-op for its incredibly fresh, locally sourced seafood available at the market, with many highlighting the Oysters Rockefeller as a standout dish. However, some find the market prices high and the restaurant's lobster rolls disappointing, suggesting a mixed experience between the market and the eatery.
"So I went to Shore Fresh for the $20 lobster roll. I should have known there was trouble ahead when I was told the cold lobster roll was $20 and the warm one with butter would be $29- quite a difference.
So I got the $20 lobster roll and it was disappointing. It was more of a lobster salad or a lobster mush with a few pieces of claw meat inserted I guess for visual enhancement. There was no flavor of lobster at all,
Sodden, floppy french fries sucked too.
Prices were quite high in the fresh fish market also. $10 for a soft shell crab for example
The third picture is of two lobster rolls (one half-eaten, sorry) I made myself from a couple lobster tails I got at ShopRite for $14. Much much tastier.
Plus I at least toasted the bun.
Pete Genovese got it wrong here.
I'll stick to the $24 lobster rolls from Point Lobster up the street"

"Three of us went on a Friday night. The wait was longer than what they told was. But it was worth the wait.
The food came out hot and was delicious. The service was great too."

"A casual eatery and seafood market with fresh seafood. There is something for everyone, including those who do not like seafood. Everything we had was delicious. Do yourself a favor and order the Oysters Rockerfeller! Yummmm"
