Atlantic City Restaurant Named Best Seafood Restaurant in New Jersey

Dock's Oyster House has been a legendary Atlantic City destination for seafood for over 125 years, and the foodie experts at Lovefood.com have named it New Jersey's best restaurant for seafood.

A Legacy That Dates Back to 1897

The history of Dock's Oyster House stretches all the way back to 1897, when Harry Dougherty saw an opportunity to open a high-quality restaurant. It's still owned and run by the Dougherty family today, who maintain Harry's philosophy of offering the freshest seafood. There are even dishes on the menu that have been there since the restaurant's doors opened, such as the lobster tail and Dock's Seafood Fry. Oysters from the raw bar are all served with a zesty house-made cocktail sauce and tart cider mignonette.
