What's *the* best seafood restaurant in New Jersey?
While the above list highlights our picks for the best seafood restaurants (plural!) in New Jersey, if you're asking for our pick for *the* best seafood restaurant in New Jersey, Parker's Garage and Oyster Saloon certainly ranks high on the list. Why? Because in addition to boasting ah-mazing seafood *and* unrivaled waterfront views, you have to actually board a ferry and ride out to this restaurant, which, in our mind, makes for an incredible all-around dining experience. Here's how it works: you will board the ferry at Tuckerton Seaport and enjoy a scenic ride before you arrive at Beach Haven. Once you're there, get ready for a seafood feast in a massive, open-air dining room that lets the outdoors in. The oysters here are incredible, as are the fresh crab and scallops. And for a totally amazing bite, definitely order one of Parker's legendary lobster corn dogs... it's easily our favorite food on a stick ever!
Are there any seafood buffets in New Jersey?
If you have a massive appetite for fresh catches, you can't go wrong with The Manor, an amazing building and event venue boasting the best seafood buffet in New Jersey -- and the Mid-Atlantic! At this scenic spot, you can enjoy a la carte dining at their Terrace Lounge (with an oak bar and talented pianist), buffet dining in the Manor Room (featuring hand carved ice sculptures and ornate floral arrangements), special international buffet nights, and Wine Wednesdays (BYO with no corkage fee). Their gorgeous glass dome offers a lounge atmosphere with music, cocktails and dancing on weekends. The menu options are just as diverse as your dining options - you'll find an upscale selection including steak, seafood, wild boar and brioche bread pudding. The seafood, however, is our favorite here... the fresh lobster buffet is quite possibly the best-kept secret in New Jersey!
