50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Nutley

“We love Ninja Sushi! It’s our go-to sushi spot in the area. The food is always so fresh, professionally prepared and the staff is super friendly. Try the OMG roll, because…. OMG, the presentation says it all! It’s where sushi meets comfort food. Delicious.“

“This small diner is serving huge flavor, and I'm here for it! Stopped by for this chicken and sausage combo, which came with half a chicken, a thick sausage link, rice, and beans, all for just $15! The chicken was charred grilled and smoky, the sausage was very meaty and svaory, and the rice and beans were just top notch. I also added some sweet plantains and they were nice, firm, and just the right amount of sweet.

The whole experience felt like you're eating at someone's house. Very reasonably priced, great service, and I can't wait to come back!

Parking: The restaurant has a parking lot that can accommodate a few cars.“

“Great time with my family for lunch, great food and great atmosphere but our waitress Abby gets the 5 Stars for service (Awesome Abby 🤩)“

“apps were good, service was even better. live atmosphere on a Friday evening to boot.“

“the services is wonderful, the food very delicious, I felt like in Egypt. I love it soooo much“

“Eddie V’s Paramus is a gem! The Ahi Tuna Tartare was fresh and bursting with flavor, and the Filet Medallions Oscar Style with crab fried rice were absolute perfection. Service was phenomenal — Amy was amazing, and every staff member made us feel like VIPs. I skipped dessert, but they insisted I try one on the house — a classy touch that sealed the night. Elegant atmosphere, incredible food, and hospitality that goes above and beyond!“

“Food was good; Drinks are very good“

“the food are delicious and the waitress is great !“

“Took my visiting sister there on a Tuesday evening. She was taken aback by the level of service that made us feel like VIPs! After getting a great window seat, my Sis jokingly said, "How romantic, too bad I'm here with my brother". Our gorgeous server Michelle was spectacular. She made multiple trips to the bar to find 'just the right wine' for my sister's particular taste and made two special requests to the kitchen on our behalf. Michelle's calming presence and 'in the moment' attitude made us feel very special. Being an intellectual herself, Michelle engaged with us most excellently in conversation. I've had a few nice meals before at the Chart House, but this by far was the best experience ever thanks to Michelle.“

“First time there today and everything was excellent!!! Will be back soon“

“THE BEST“

“Yummy Spicy Shrimp Pasta. I love it every time I come here :)“

“The workers/owners are so nice and the food is INCREDIBLE for the price. Seafood boil in this day and age is so expensive and here I can get 1/b crab legs, a potato, an egg, and cajun fries for close to $25. The hibachi menu is also DELICIOUS. I have ordered for pickup here with my mother twice and both times service was fast and the food was delicious.“

“this place never disappoints. good service, good food. good event. I almost go at least 2xs a month. became one of my FAVORITE PLACES“

“The New England Clam Chowder with crab added to it was TO DIE FOR….. Got a container at The Herald Square Market to eat when i got home and I was in Heaven with every bite! Fresh and creamy, awesome taste and the crab meat added just intensified the experience! I’m visiting New York from TN and it was one of my best meals so far! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“

“Seafood pimps was the best decision I could had made to celebrate my 56th birthday. I decided to purchase the Nexf ix & Chill. First the presentation was SUPERB. The crabs, mussels and shrimp were FRESH and DELECTABLE. The vegetables were seasoned to perfection. least of them all the amount that you receive is enough to feed a full size family, and we only ordered for two. I will definitely be back. I recommend Seafood Pimps to anyone that enjoy fresh mouth watering seafood.“

“Excellent food, service and ambiance. Try the mixed grilled sampler, and the desserts are espectacular!!!“

“Great food, all tasted fresh and didn't disappoint..we ordered the dinner for 2 that included 4 choices of cold starters and calamari that melts in your mouth and the salad was so good and the mix kebab and koftas over rice was good too..will definitely recommend and we shall be back! 😋“

“Musubi for days! So good So fresh! Ill be back“

“Stellar service! Will definitely be back.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Blue Anchor is an absolute gem!
From the moment we arrived, the service was outstanding. David, the manager, sets a brilliant example of leadership—he was hands-on the entire evening: taking orders, serving food, bringing drinks, and supporting his team every step of the way. He even made the best cheesecake I’ve ever had—rich, creamy, and unforgettable!
The staff was truly exceptional: – Ruben was warm and professional – Maria was gracious and extremely attentive
Their customer service was AMAZING—some of the best I’ve experienced in my life.
🍽️ Highlights from our meal: – Appetizers: heavenly crab cakes with sauce, and incredibly flavorful grilled octopus – Entrées: my salmon with mashed potatoes was cooked perfectly—crispy skin, moist center – My sister’s seafood platter was delicious and generous – My niece’s shrimp scampi with spaghetti was so good I couldn’t stop sneaking bites!
🎉 Ambiance was upbeat, cozy, and unrushed—we felt completely relaxed and cared for.
This was my first visit to Blue Anchor, and I can’t wait to bring the whole family next time. It’s a rare combination of spectacular food and world-class service. Highly recommended—don’t miss out!“

“Lunch service was nice. However my brother ordered a Paella and there was hardly any rice in it. Given the fact the waiter insisted it would feed 3 I'm glad he ordered his solo cause it was barely enough for him. I ordered a chicken breast and chorizo lunch special. It was good. Aside from the spicy flavors it was great. The service was fantastic. It's no wonder they've been around for a long time. My brother recommended this place since he's been coming here a long time. I'm definitely opened to give it another try.“

“The service was amazing plus the Mexican People where amazing they always asking if w writhing was okay ..“

“Very delicious food .. seafood is on point“

“The trout is the best in the area. The servers can be unprofessional and rude. When asked to tie back their hair, the request was refused. A nonsense response of not required was insulting. As an experienced service trainer, the hair in question should have been restraining. Health department requirements override a servers vain attitude.“

“todo pero me fascina el pargo frito con tostones y ensalada“

“$20 for all you can eat shrimp“

“First time and they did not disappoint😊Food was fabulous!“

“Another great dinner at the Capital Grille. Our server Adrian, assited by Benny, was attentive, but didnt 'hover. Our food was prepared perfectly, steak cooked as desired, sides and drinks to even accomodate a food sensitivity. We travel often and really appreciate how the Capital Grille is a reliable choice, always delivering the classics.“

“Seafood Birthday Bash!

Went to this restaurant for my uncles birthday. He doesn’t eat chicken or steak so seafood is his favorite. Caldwell Seafood Market & Cafe was an obvious choice because of the pictures and the fact it was a fresh seafood market just stood out to me. It did not disappoint either! We were a group of 10 people and ordered everything our heart desired and spent $579. We ordered 3 orders of fried calamari which was nice and crispy and they even had a ginger sauce which is different. We tried the hot and spicy shrimp which had a great sauce to dip the complementary bread in. We ordered 5 bowls of New England clam chowder. I felt it was watery and not as seasoned as I am used to but we enjoyed it anyway. They forgot a bowl of soup but we won’t hold it against them. We all ordered entrees and most of us got a dessert! We left full and satisfied!

Knowing my family we love to eat and we are all reviewers at heart and are not afraid to say what we do not like. Everyone loved their food from the appetizers to the dessert and we were surprised at how fast the food came and how fresh it was. The waiter was very attentive as well. We didn’t need a reservation when we came in at 3pm and were the only ones there. Surprising it was not packed for a Saturday afternoon but started to fill up as we left.

Overall this restaurant gets a 5/5 because the experience was great, the waiter was very nice and accommodating, the food was piping hot and everyone was pleased even the kids who aren’t really seafood fans.

P.S. Below are photos of some entrees we ordered like the Red Snapper with spinach and beans, Bronzino with mash and veggies, Fish and Chips, Linguine with white clam sauce.“

“Very nice - I’m coming back for sure“

“This is such a lovely place with a warm, friendly ambience. I brought my son here on Christmas Eve, and we had a lovely time. The chocolate martinis are amazing and the wine list is very good. We started with perfectly chilled and delicious oysters and then enjoyed aranciata with crab and a lovely lobster pasta dish. The vibe is inviting for families with young children as well and there is also a nice bar for adults only. This is a great place that I will return to soon !“

“The food was magnificent! The owner engaged in conversation with us. The striped bass was out of this world! I will definitely come back.“

“Very nice atomosphere. Everybody friendly Food was quick and drinks where amazing“

“Excelente atención y rica comida“

“My boyfriend and I LOVE this place and has been our go to lately. We mix between the fried flounder, whole red snapper and fried shrimp- so good! The fried yuca is top tier in my opinion. The yellow rice is pretty good as well. Not too expensive and you get a lot of food.“

“Wow! Had an outstanding night at the Roxy and I think it’s been my best bite in JC.

Service was incredible, friendly, and attentive. We did go at an off peak time, so we got extra special service. However, I think at any time the service would be top notch.

The cocktails were excellent. Extremely balanced, delicious and amazingly seasonal.

The food was soooo good. I had the short rib special and I highly recommend it while it’s available. Absolutely delicious and the best short rib dish I’ve had.

I can’t wait to return!“

“They have the best social hour!! The food is amazing and the atmosphere is great!!!“

“Very good food,delicious!🍗“

“I love this company because it's convenience of being close in NJ, the company sells to individuals customers most only sell to business. I bought Saba mackerel and tobikko it was better and fresh or as good as in any high end Sushi restaurant. I can't wait to order again and the minimum to order is $40 and close enough to pickup in Jersey City. ty Jorge Alonso.“

“A Hidden Gem in Hawthorne F1rst, a cozy BYOB nestled in Hawthorne, NJ, is a delightful surprise. The unassuming exterior belies the culinary excellence within. Our recent dinner with neighbors was a testament to the restaurant's charm. The star of the show was undoubtedly the pork chop. It was cooked to perfection, juicy and flavorful. The bolognese, rich and hearty, was another standout dish. The pasta was cooked al dente, and the sauce was simply divine. The service was attentive and friendly, adding to the overall pleasant dining experience…including the occasional lovely Maitre D! While the restaurant's ambiance is modest, the quality of the food and the warm hospitality make it a truly special place. If you're seeking a memorable dining experience in Hawthorne, f1rst is a must-try.“

“Highly recommend supporting our local dinning. In fact, a party of seven was just booked after sharing a night of Fundraising at Giorgio's.“

“I ordered from here looking for some jerk pork and festival and I could not be more satisfied! The pork was juicy, spicy, and grilled as all jerk pork should be. The festival were hot and freshly made. This was an 11/10 because it was all fresh and hot. Likklle Helshire Restaurant, 👏🏿👏🏿. Please, please add small and large portions of the jerk pork and jerk chicken to the Uber Eats menu so I can order just the meat and my festival. Thank you!“

“My wife and I had the most delicious dinner last night. The service, the food and the ambiance was amazing. Highly recommend the restaurant.“

“This place is so romatic and the staff and food are great. We left happy and ready to return soon.“

“Very good fufu and great chicken egusi. Owner was very helpful and explained everything. Atmosphere was nice, she was kind and the service/wait time was great. Overall, it was great food and a great experience. I will definitely be coming again!“

“I highly recommend this fish market. Owner is very nice and accommodating. My gma needed 150$ dollars worth of whiting but she wanted it for a different date. Anyway i returned to pick it up and the fish was ready. All cleaned and packaged nice. Highly recommend!“

“First time, excellent food and service. Will be back👍“

“You won't be disappointed! Quick service and good food. I like the way the guy uses his memory taking orders, gets it right 99% of the time, even with 3 or more people ordering!“

“Great sandwiches. Definitely recommend“
