Monte's Fish Fry & Seafood Market

Came here yesterday at 6:45 just 15 minutes before closing. I enjoyed the fried catfish sandwich and my guest had the lobster roll with corn nuggets and we grabbed a quart of lobster bisque from the fridge. Each sandwich came with fries & coleslaw, the catfish had tartar sauce on the side as well. It was very good, cooked perfectly, packed great. The display was empty because they were closing up in minutes. Restaurant was immaculately clean and all set for the next day. The owners son took care of us and he was very friendly and polite. Pops and his son prepared the food freshly while we waited and mom packed everything up to go. The only reason for 4 stars was I was not able to sit inside and eat so I can't rate the wait and table service. Also all the fresh fish was put away for the night so I did not see their display which im sure is perfect. I'm guessing that would be #5 star but they will be reviewed again and updated to earn it because I will definitely be back. This place is a gem. I would recommend this to anybody looking for a good fish fry. I traveled home for 30 minutes and the food remained warm, that's on me but again eating inside (some day soon) will be the test. For now, this place is good, very good. To be continued!!! For now, go check it out.

This place is GOOD! Family owned. Proud of their food and it shows in the flavor & freshness. Great service. All the seafood was FRESH. Nothing was overcooked! Snow crab 🦀 shrimp, scallops, flounder, clam strips. The place does NOT smell of greasy old fried oil (as many do). ** They breaded the clam strips as they make them!!!!!!!! Made to order seafood here!!!!

I stopped in today after my daughters soccer game with a friend and his daughter. Everything we ordered was so good. The quality and the portions were amazing. It’s a small family owned business. They were very friendly and appreciative. If you’re a seafood lover like us, you will love this place as much as we did. We’ll definitely be back.

Living on the Jersey Shore you would think that there are a lot of seafood resturants but actually there very few. I discoved this place on a Google search and based on reviews I went there. This is not a fancy resturant but it's a fresh fish market that serves fresh caught fish. The resturant was clean and had about 10 tables. The menu offered a variety of fish dishes. We ordered corn fritters as a appetizer and they where sweet and well prepared. My wife has the fish and chips and she got 2 very large cod filets , I had the fried scallops and they were fresh and prepared perfectly. For dessert we had a fresh cannoli. I highly recommend giving this place a try. PS they have weekly specials during the week

Very delicious food! Got a little packed when we got there so service was a little slower than expected, but completely understandable. Definitely recommend this place. The lobster Mac and cheese was amazing and the oysters were very fresh.
