Seafood Restaurants in New Jersey

When Guy Fieri brings the Triple D crew to the Jersey Shore and beyond, seafood takes center stage in spectacular fashion. The Garden State has welcomed the Mayor of Flavortown five times between 2011 and 2022, showcasing everything from classic crab cakes to innovative surf-and-turf creations. With an impressive average rating of 4.3 stars across these featured spots, New Jersey proves it’s a serious contender in the East Coast seafood scene.

Leading the pack is Turf Surf & Earth in Somerville, earning a stellar 4.6-star rating for its creative approach to land-meets-sea cuisine. Down in Leeds Point, the Oyster Creek Inn (4.5 stars) delivers waterfront dining with authentic coastal flavors that had Guy reaching for seconds. The Grilled Cheese & Crab Cake Co. in Somers Point rounds out the top performers, combining comfort food with fresh-caught favorites. From Atlantic City’s boardwalk vibes to Stone Harbor’s beach town charm, these five establishments—four still serving hungry customers today—represent the best of New Jersey’s DDD-approved seafood destinations.
