They also have sauces, marinades, and lemons for you to season your seafood of choice. I had major sticker shock as I'm only used to buying fish from the grocery store. The prices here for seafood are a premium. However, I trust that buying fish this way supports your local fisherman, is ethical, and is much fresher than what you'd ever get from the grocery store (most likely frozen before) My friends and I decided on tilefish as we all have never tried it. It did NOT disappoint. It had a nice "chew" to it, and it picked up the flavors of lemon, salt, pepper, and blackening seasoning so well. If it's a special occasion or you just want to buy fresh fish directly on the island, give Cassidy's a try!

Picked up some sushi grade tuna and salmon the other day and was very impressed with how fresh and…read moredelicious it was when we ate it. The shop is clean with no off putting smell and the service is great. I'm of the opinion that you get what you pay for and the quality is far better at Cassidy's than some of the other markets in the Ocean County area.

Ahearns was always our tried and true place to get fresh seafood for decades. Sadly, not anymore…read more it all started with the Manhattan clam chowder. The intense fishy smell as I heated it should have clued me in. One bite and it went into the garbage. The usually fresh, firm and delicious wild caught cleaned shrimp were mushy after cooking and a bit stinky as well. They were "edible" but we couldn't face the leftovers. The snow crab legs were frozen and when cooked, turned out to be thin and with very little meat...$150+ later, Ahearns is a thing of the past for us.

The fish was incredibly fresh and the pricing was very reasonable. We tried to ask some qs, but didn't get a lot of help. That being said, it was a Saturday morning and very busy so we won't fault them for that. I'm sure that's not the case on a normal day. Definitely head to Ortley if you're in need of some very fresh fish!

Our order was ready in a flash: 1lb clam strips - fresh & hot, with cocktail & tartar sauces 1/2lb shrimp salad - plump shrimp in a simple mayo, celery, who knows what else dressing Jumbo shrimp cocktail - these huge shrimp were 3 bites each, & needed nothing else but lemon & cocktail sauce I had never seen crab sauce before - it's apparently one whole crab per container of red sauce! There was an empty shelf in the fridge & we learned that it was clam sauce that was so popular it was sold out (made in the morning). Both the New England & the Manhattan chowders sounded tempting, as was the jambalaya & lobster rolls. So tempting, that we came back the very next morning to have the same lunch & also pre-order 4 paellas to go. A couple hours later, the hot paella was packed securely for us. It was heavy, and looked & smelled amazing. It fed a lot of impressed people! Warm service, seats to eat in, lots of people coming to take out or get seafood to cook at home. This is the place for fresh seafood!

My mom and I stumbled in while exploring the Jersey coast and left completely obsessed. We went all in on the menu: tuna salad (free starter for the table), clam chowder, a warm lobster roll, and two sushi rolls, the Wow Roll and the Out of Control Roll. The coconut shrimp in the Wow Roll was a standout moment. Light, crispy, and perfectly balanced. The warm lobster roll was generous and satisfying! Service was friendly and quick without feeling rushed. They have a connected indoor seating area and a covered outdoor space, the indoor space was packed. This is a perfect stop whether you're a local or passing through the Shore!

We started with chowder, one Manhattan and one New England- both fantastic. Two appetizers- the fried clam strips and the tuna tartare sushi - another win/win! For the entrees we took one from the specials, a blackened Mahi Mahi with lemon mashed potatoes and green beans which was sublime. For the other we tried a lobster taco that came with a choice of salad or hand cut fries. We went the fry route. They were great. Notes: it's a small place, they do not take reservations so you will wait for a table, however, they will text you when it's ready. They do sell wine or byob - your choice. They have a fish market and their own fishing boats and are proud to serve their own caught fish. This seems to be a local favorite in the Point Pleasant area. It will be crowded- it will be worth the wait. Come comfortable, it's laid back and it's all about enjoying really good seafood!

There is a to go area, bathroom, and then indoor seating area. They have merchandise behind the register. Started with the tuna nachos and crab rangoon mozzarella sticks. Tuna was good quality and had a good coating of sesame seeds. My perfect bite was tuna, orange sauce, seaweed, tomato, & onion. The chips were perfectly crispy. The crab rangoon was surprisingly good. This appetizer is what made me pick this place. Such a good combination. Didn't need the marinera sauce. Next up soups. Lobster bisque was ok. I guess I was expecting it to be a little more rich. But it was good, it tasted exactly like lobster and I got good chunks in the soup too. Now the shrimp and corn chowder was super flavorful. Favorite dish of the meal. For mains, cold lobster roll and two tails w butter and side salad. Side salad was well dressed and I appreciate the ribbons of Parmesan. The lobster was mostly cooked right. There was one that was a bit chewy. Added salt and butter but felt like something was missing still. I couldn't find a good combo of toppings to go with the lobster. The cold lobster roll was alright. The potato bread added a good sweet flavor that complimented the lobster. Overall a decent meal.

The waitress put 2 tables together for us and since we were the only ones inside she was ready to take our drink orders. Several in the group ordered fancy mixed drinks that they all raved about. I went for unsweetened ice tea. It's a good thing I tasted it before I added Splenda. We ordered chicken fingers for our girls so that their food would come out first. 2 of us ordered raw clams on the half shell and 2 ordered steamed clams for appetizers. We also ordered our entrees at this time. 3 of us ordered Flounder in a basket with French fries.And 2 of us had fried shrimp with fries. The first thing out was 2 orders of raw clams . Then 2 orders of Flounder with fries. Then 1 order of Flounder and finally brought out the chicken fingers for our 2 little ones. We asked where the appetizer order of the steamed clams was. The runner brought it out and yes it was cold and had to be sent back. When it finally came out it was ok. The manager came by to apologize for the problem. The food was ok. The place is clean and rustic with their metal chairs. The waitress knew what she was doing . We know she put the order in for the chicken fingers but the kitchen screwed up. Also the runner left the steamed clams sit there getting cold. We will probably be back but will expect better results so that I can increase my stars.

Food was great! Atmosphere a bit dated…read more We dined with you guys and sat near a table of 2 men and a child that were not very nice to the waitress. The waitress handled herself with such grace and kindness after the man continued to give her a hard time. Later, I listened as he requested for her to ask the manager to take off a percentage for him being he was a veteran. After she walked away, they started laughing and the one guy said, you're too much. It was clear that he wasn't being honest. He certainly wasn't a veteran and sadly the couple we were with has a son serving in the military. Unfortunately, this man took advantage of this opportunity and I was upset to see that someone would lie about serving our country. I did compliment the waitress for handling that table with dignity after being treated so poorly. She did say they honored a 10% off discount for him and it wasn't warranted because he lied. Kudos to your wait staff for dealing with rude customers and liars.
