Love this place... what a gem, food was excellent... location convenient (for me) while I'm in the area

Although it's not a restaurant, the customer service was absolutely unparalleled! They walked me around the whole location and showed me why they were different. read more

Tuna Tartare is great, I enjoyed the choice of oysters and the cocktails. Came here again to try something else. If I may suggest: please put a burger on the menu and something easy for kids. My kid had a hard time picking his dish. Too young to appreciate the beauty of the seafood flavors. Service is great, soft music and lovely outside. read more

I came here with my partner and we did not like it. The food wasn't good and it was over priced for what we got. Especially the lobster roll. It was just thrown on a cheap hot dog bun with barely any meat inside. Definitely not worth the price and it taste bad. You can see it in my picture and judge for yourself. The stuff lobster was also horrible. We did get the oysters which we did enjoy. And we tried the Margarita which was pretty good. But everything else was a no. The waiter was super nice, and he noticed that we weren't too happy and apologized. He said the restaurant is still pretty new and they are taking all the feedback and trying to make the place better and hopes that we come back one day. Maybe I'll come back one day but highly doubt it . I hate to leave bad reviews like this but sometimes you just have too. I was very excited for this place but turned out completely disappointed read more

My family bought 50 fresh oysters (unshucked). They were very nice to do this for us, because typically they sell them in larger quantities for restaurants. But let me tell you... FRESHEST, CLEANEST tasting oysters I have ever had in my life!!!!!!!!!!!! They were so good!! And a great addition to our charcuterie spread! I can not get enough of this place! Going to order a large batch again soon! read more

Amazingly fresh seafood for an even better price. Sangria was the best I've ever had: The lobster Mac & cheese and Nigerian Tiger Shrimp prawns were to die for. Love this local, family owned restaurant. Definitely worth the trip. read more

This is the final and the best seafood place in Newark and northern New Jersey for seafood dining or fresh or frozen to take out. Fresh Oysters, Fresh Clams, variety seafood dishes. We enjoyed soup, Octopus, clams as the appetizers and we also enjoyed Shrimp (single huge shrimp), all were extremely well prepared and tasty. Both times we were served by beautiful, sweet lady name Carmilla. She is very professional and very attentive which makes the experience unusually great. We recommend this place strongly and without any reservation. The only thing is missing, is the French, or Italian or Portuguese bread with the meal. read more

The food was fresh. The service was fast. The staff made me feel at home. Make sure to try the red sangria!!! I don't know what they put in it but it feels like it was made with love . Will definitely be revisiting. read more

Ocean Seafood Depot - Lobster Mac and cheese and Tuna Tartare - Seafood Markets Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

I went to Ocean Seafood last weekend for the first time. I was in search of octopus. Not only did they have it, but they had multiple options. It was very good quality. Was excited to see so many options for seafood, and even some Spanish specialty items (cheeses, sausages, and more)...all at very reasonable prices. This is very likely my new seafood market. read more

We were welcomed and our table was prepared pretty fast, drinks, coconut margarita and mojito were awesome, we ordered oysters, king crab legs and tuna tártara all delicious! service was A+ will be back for sure! read more

Amazing service sand wonderful food! I felt like I ordered the entire menu because everything sounded great. When the food came out, I found myself saying "how is this for so good??" Everything we are was well prepared and delicious! My favorite was the lobster roll and baked oysters. They have a good wine selection and cocktail menu as well. There is a full bar, outdoor seating, and a shop in the restaurant where you can buy fresh and frozen seafood. This is now my go-to seafood restaurant! read more

Great service thanks to my guy Luis. Food was delicious. Just did small plates...stuffed clams, lobster roll (loved the tender bread and the buttered lobster) and crab cakes. So good. For my drink I had the thirst trap. Perfect drink. Inside was a little cold with a.c. so we dined outside. Can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu. read more

Great seafood. Everything was very fresh and the service was outstanding! Sangria was out of this world. Definitely coming back here soon

Being an oyster lover, this has been my go-to spot since last year. I started coming to this restaurant in June 2020 right when outside dining opened. I easily became a regular, visiting two, three, or more times every week after work. I enjoyed my experience up until recently. Thanks to Brian and Ricky. My most recent experience on March 27 was horrible and was the deciding factor for me not to EVER visit this place again. I've sporadically tried to visit oceans at 5:00 PM, the regular time I would always go, but they have consistently closed early with no notification on social media or anything. They advertised new hours, closing at 9:00 PM, the week prior. On March, 27, I called at 4:00 PM and asked what time they would be closing. The person who answered said they will be seating the last customers at 7:15. I arrived at 5:15 PM and requested a table for two. She said the kitchen is closed for the night and they won't be seating anyone else. Even though a table of 6 walked in as I was parking. Frustrated at this point, I explained what I was told and what I witnessed. BRIANNA, CAMILA, AND LOUIS showcased nothing but POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. I've supported this company thru COVID, poor service due to high turnover rates and no employees, and even continued to come after the lack of communication on their hours of operations. Things do happen but being completely DISRESPECTED IS UNACCEPTABLE. After expressing my concerns and suggestions, I was told "WE DONT NEED YOUR BUSINESS AND DONT COME BACK" by one of the girls. While the other one told me "SHE DOESN'T CARE IF I COME BACK." My tab has never been less than $150 here and I've always tipped the waiters good despite the LONG WAIT TIME FOR FOOD, MISSING ORDERS, POOR SERVICE, AND COMPLETLY WRONG ORDERS. The owners are extremely nice and should discuss this performance with their employees. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE SHOULDNT BE TOLERATED. I'll now be traveling to the city for oysters when this place was a lot more convenient. DON'T TAKE OUT COMPANY ISSUES ON YOUR CUSTOMERS. IT'S NOT OUR FAULT THAT YOU DON'T HAVE EMPLOYEES ESPECIALLY WHEN I'M BEING NOTHING BUT UNDERSTANDING AND WILLING TO WAIT. read more

I first came here a few day's ago looking for oysters. OMG what a FRESH selection and such a kind and educated guy behind the bar to help me select them. He told of his favorite "Lime something". Incredible flavor. MJ Gimbar from Washington DC said eating oysters is like a "kiss from the sea". I agree but they also help with sublime passion. read more

Great seafood nd great drinks, nd also have great selections to buy seafood wholesale if you ever decide to have a boil at home...

A full service seafood distributor with a small public retail store. The retail store has a great selection of frozen seafood, no fresh seafood for retail, but they do have a full array of Portuguese specialties, several sizes of imported frozen whole fish including mackerel, great selection of octopus, all types of shrimp, etc. If you re having a party, Definitely worth a trip for some much better quality than most stores. read more

My first time at this place was an absolute 5-star experience, but unfortunately my second visit wasn't as pleasant. The service and the food were exceptional both times, but there was one factor that really bothered me...the people at the table behind me were all smoking cigars. I was shocked and disappointed to find out that a such a classy and elegant place allows customers to smoke while sitting in tables. The smell was overwhelming and it honestly ruined my appetite and my overall experience. Unfortunately I will not be returning to this location until they at least have a designated smokers area away from the tables. read more

Service was ok but cocktail was bad. Red sangria tastes like cranberry juice sweet no alcohol. I won't go back for drink. Food is pricey not fancy. read more
