This small seafood establishment has always been a place where nice associations are formed, it goes with the neighborhood, and the lifestyle of this area. Many people enjoy the interaction that we engage in at the post office, the gas station, the barber shop, the butcher, the fruit store, etc. Here there seems to be a very definite history of the great staff members moving on, sometimes with little or no notice, and it has impacted the comfort level for me, and for many of the people who also frequented the store. The product has been good, at times excellent, but the overall experience has been greatly diminished by some real nice people who were employed there leaving. I don't feel the same joy supporting a business that seems to have a pattern of upsetting what appears to be excellent employees, and this is by no means a negative statement on the new people who come in to replace the one's who leave. I sure the new ones are very nice too. It all just creates this sense of sadness and negativity about and towards the ownership and overall establishment. I guess in life some of us reach an age, or a point, where what we put in our body has to do with more than the food itself. It connects to the vibe, the humanity factor, the trust, etc. I have stopped going to Local 130 after the last person left, almost without exception. And I am a customer who was there a minimum of once a week for several years. read more

Great fish mongers. Maybe the best tuna I've ever had. Knowledgeable helpful and shared a great clam recipe for the grill. read more

Local 130 has a reliable selection of seafood. The employees are always friendly and helpful. In addition to their seafood, they offer interesting side items - excellent French butter and quality eggs. I have been happy with every purchase. read more

What a great local fish store. Everything is extremely fresh and you know it's good when they run out because they sell what they catch. Prices are reasonable and you can get a good amount for what you would like. While this place is definitely not something that you could go to for catering a large party, I feel like if you work with the owners they could help you. By the way, I bought some of the best tuna I have ever had in my life there. So excited to have this place in my new neighborhood. read more

I have been coming to Local 130 for years; the only place I buy fish, but there is a man with a grey beard and grey hair (a bit stocky) working today (March 20) on a Saturday that is the worst of their employees. Rude, has no idea what he says about the fish, cuts a fish long ways? Weird, charges 29/lb when it's 26/lb and you ask for half pound and charges) $4 up charge and says I cut it over. I don't care about $4 but it's the principle! Is he pocketing it at the end of the day?! read more

fresh fish! Generally locally caught. Guy behind the counter was very warm & affable. Very clean.

I know that they are working through some quirks of their setup with the Madison Marquette folks but let's get real here. This is some great food and fresh, perfectly shucked oysters. We've eaten there now 6 times and will try to make it many more times in the near future. We've gone from food in the convention center that you literally couldn't eat to some awesome seafood. Oysters are the best. Love the selection so far. Perfectly shucked and with a fine mignonette. Fresh horseradish on request. All the dishes are great. Fish and chips quite good. Scallops nearly perfect. My only complaint is that they need some better wine selections to pair with the oysters. How about an Albariño by the glass? A Muscadet? A Chablis? Keep it up, folks. You're doing fine and it's going to get better. read more

This is for the boardwalk location but oh my gosh don't go! I was sat coming off the boardwalk wearing shorts and a sports bra, had bar staff interact with me and tell me how to order, and then was approached after not having my order taken for 10 minutes and twiddling my thumbs by wait staff escorting me out because I wasn't wearing a shirt...after being sat! I'm sorry but you guys are on the boardwalk and have to account for people being at the beach...it's really not that fancy of a joint. It's sad because I was about to spend a bunch on oysters & drinks and would have been a very loyal customer over the years otherwise. Lost a customer for life! read more

The seafood here is all sourced locally. It is fresh daily and super good quality. Support local!

Service is excellent and personal. The scallops and sushi grade salmon was extremely fresh and delicious. Very rustic place but these guys know seafood. read more

Good selection and helpful staff. The quality is always great, we've enjoyed many a big eye tuna, salmon and lump crab from them!

Had a great meal ! Can't Walt to go back. Really loved the Ceviche! This is such a great addition to the Asbury Park Boardwalk

The seafood is fresh, the store is immaculate but most of all the people who work there are accommodating and very nice! Highly recommend read more

The most delicious seafood, everything we had was fabulous but those grilled oysters were to die for, the best bite! The staff could not be more friendly and helpful. This is just what Asbury has been missing! read more

Fresh, high quality seafood and helpful staff who love what they do. I go here regularly to purchase fish for grilling.

For a state with 130 miles of coastline fresh fish markets are somewhat hard to come by. Especially when you get to the towns miles inland. We stumbled upon Local 130 Seafood at the farmers market in Marlboro. I'm really glad they came to the market because I'm not sure we'd find them otherwise (even though Asbury Park is a very short drive). The market is small but has lots of local/semi-local fresh fish. Prices are pretty reasonable for fresh, quality seafood. Service was exceptionally friendly. Free parking in the front is easy to find. We purchased toro, tuna and black seabass this trip and all were fresh and delicious. I'll definitely be back again soon. read more

Great fish and people. Prices are great too. The tuna is the best I have ever had. Grouper great too. read more

Amazing shop that offers fresh locally sourced seafood at reasonable prices. They even educate you on what they have and how to prepare it. A gem in the neighborhood and nothing has been as fresh as this place. Often pickup sushi grade fish for my at home sushi adventures. read more

Stay away from this company if you want to order for delivery. The Uni packaging was a mess with yellow liquid filled in the bag! It looked really gross! The management ignored the email I sent in about the issue. They just grabbed the money and disappeared. read more

Picked up some Grouper last night. It was so fresh and delicious. Very friendly staff and also gave his recommendation on how long to grill it. They never disappoint read more

Really great local seafood shop. Loses a point because it is not great for big groups as their daily supply is limited and they don't have a lobster tank. But if you are looking to cook for a family of 4, it is perfection. read more

We recently discovered Local 130. So far we've only gotten fish for poke bowls. It says something about their quality and care of their product when you can eat it raw, have tons of flavor, and not get sick. The fish is beyond fresh and the people are always friendly and helpful. I won't buy fish anywhere else. (Also, the store is so clean you don't even smell fish when you walk in - another bonus) read more

Exceptional seafood. Very fresh. They are very accommodating as far as the size of the fish you want. The best seafood in the area. read more

The sushi-grade salmon I procured at Local 130 Seafood was unbelievably fresh. Probably some of the best salmon I've ever had. You can tell it's fresh when it doesn't smell like fish or have a "fishy" taste. I just stood there at home at my wooden cutting board and consumed it after wrapping slices in seaweed using my manly "Hello Kitty" chopsticks. read more

Quality seafood, very fresh. Love their oysters and clams. The fish and chips are excellent. Could easily share 1 order with 2 people, as it's a huge portion. Ceviche and soft shell crab sandwich are also great choices. read more

I strongly recommend the sushi grade salmon and tuna. It's super fresh. They chop it up for you. You end up getting a pretty decent amount of sashimi for 10 dollars. read more

My cousins introduced us to Local 130 and I'm so glad they did. The fish and seafood are absolutely fabulous and they are super friendly and efficient. Local 130 delivers next day in NJ and all of their fish and seafood is super fresh. I don't think I could get the fish any fresher if I went out on a boat myself. They also ship outside NJ. My wife and I are foodies and we so appreciate great ingredients and super fresh fish. I highly, highly recommend them. We have found a new favorite place to order from and I am so glad we can support such a fantastic business. Also, shout out to Ed who has been delivering to us who is great. read more

Came here to buy the fixings for a seafood boil for my buddy's bachelor party. Got a whole bunch of clams, mussels, and shrimp. Everything was amazing. Fresh and reasonably priced. Service was top notch - friendly, knowledgeable, and they went out of their way to make sure everything I bought was top quality and packed everything so it would be easy for me to transport. Was the highlight of our weekend. Can't recommend enough. read more

A great local option We had the Irish Trout last night and it was everything we were promised A wonderful concept and well executed read more

Wow. Really disappointed with this place! Paid extra money for two pieces of FILLETED fish to come home and find a lot of bones in it. Brought the fish back because I really wanted to like this place and support local fishermen. When I told the young man working there my issue with finding bones in a filet, he dismissed me and told me "that's just how it comes". No offer of taking the bones out, a refund, and exchange. No resolution at all. When you pay DOUBLE to have the fish filleted, one usually expects to receive what they have paid for. Not here. read more
