There's really nothing better than a fresh seafood dish at the Jersey Shore.

With our close proximity to the ocean, it's a no-brainer that we have some of the freshest, most succulent seafood around.

That's why when I saw a list of the Country's best seafood restaurants released just in time for the holiday day rush, I had no doubt in my mind that a seafood restaurant at the Jersey Shore would make the list.

Whether it was a place like Crabs Claw Inn, Harpoon Willy's, or one of our other fantastic spots, there was no way we wouldn't be mentioned.

Tickle me surprised after learning it was not anywhere near the Jersey Shore.

It's not exactly located anywhere near the beach, but that doesn't mean the seafood isn't still absolutely killer.

It's a family-run restaurant that's been open since the mid-1950s and specializes not only in seafood but Portuguese-Mediterranean food as well.

Traditional dishes like pork cubes with clam and potatoes, veal in port wine, or a traditional rack of lamb are a must-have when you visit.

But let's talk about their seafood selection, it's why we're here, isn't it?

They have amazing options from grilled Chilean sea bass to crab-stuffed fish fillet to fish prepared the traditional Portuguese way, there are just so many options!
