50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Paulsboro

“Fresh seafood, all of it is amazing 5 ⭐️“

“The Food was Fresh ad Incredible“

“I had snapper soup there. It was an 11 out of a possible 10. My wife had New England clam chowder it is (her score system) a 10 out of 10. Best ever. Unfortunately, they do not currently have snapper soup. Missing the old Bookbinder too. Signed, Old Philadelphia natives.“

“Our first experience at a James Beard award winning restaurant (2017) and chef was incredible at Vernick Fish in Philadelphia to celebrate Trent’s graduation! I know now what this caliber of food and service means and all other restaurants pale in comparison to Vernick Fish and Greg Vernick(semi-finalist chef 2025). From the appetizers (dozen oysters from RI, MA, ME, PEI) to the drinks and main course were all uniquely exquisite and cannot be replicated anywhere else. The constant doting with new silverware at each course and cleaning of the table was undeniably royalty treatment. Even the bathroom was an experience-I need the hand lotion in my life (instantly made my hands look 30 years younger). The portions, ambiance and service were all equally perfect! I highly recommend you check out Vernick Fish. We will definitely return!“

“If I could give 100,00 stars, I would. Service was incredibly friendly, down to us saying how much we loved the sauce and our server brought up a little side of sauce and another piece of bread just so we could savor the flavors a little longer. Each dish truly got better and better. This BYOB spot is a complete standout and you need to RUN HERE. Shoutout to our servers, Maggie and Mary, and Chef Ben for a memorable, absolutely delicious experience.“

“The shrimp smd the crab devil eggs was delicious 😋“

“I don’t think I have ever tried so many new foods in one sitting before. We ordered a special from the raw bar that our waitress described as a boujee poke bowl (she was awesome btw and very patient with us as we were being indecisive). It was so good! I couldn’t even tell you what was in there but basically every raw fish ever with a really great sauce. We also got some oysters (so fresh with great sauces) and the trout pancake. Never thought I’d be into cold fish on a pancake, but it was delicious. Anyway, all that rambling to say this place is amazing, definitely go if you can get a reservation, and definitely try all the weird things that sound kinda scary.“

“Unique food, cozy, candlelit atmosphere. Our group enjoyed it tremendously. Highly recommend.“

“As a travel agent, food is important to me. I not only book for my clients, but I also make restaurant recommendations and WOW!!!!!! This place is it 😍😍😍 I took many photos last night of the food, the atmosphere felt as though I was not in Philadelphia, but far away on a perfect vacation dining at an amazing restaurant. I'm going to post my photos on my business page, people, if you want Greek food, THIS IS YOUR PLACE ☺️ Thank you for a wonderful hospitality and an amazing time my fiance and I will never forget.“

“Waitress was very knowledgeable about the cuisine. Other staff were friendly and courteous. Food was excellent, tastes wonderful and plated beautifully. The interior might remind you of an old time elegant railroad car with curved ceiling, crystal chandeliers, etc. great place for special occasions.“

“😍🤪🤪🤪🥂love it“

“Loved this place. This place was packed and I was so lucky to have a reservation for my date. We loved the food, not even lying when I tell you it was the freshest sushi I’ve had in a while. We went on the 17th and it was super busy, the staff worked so hard and still made us feel so welcomed.“

“Out of so many of Indonesian restaurants in the south Philly area.
DJAKARTA CAFE is our Best Place to enjoy the authentic Indonesian culinary! The portion is huge,not stingy with the sauce. I tried almost all they have in the menu, but Nasi Ayam Bakar is hands-down one of The Best! Came along with tamarind soup, fried tofu, n fried tempe..also the sambal spicy chilly!
Without forget mentioning dessert Es Campur !“

“As wonderful as I remember. A true cc gem. Get the tiramisu“

“I have been going there for years in the food is always very good....“

“I was skeptical because I absolutely love eating meat. Meat and bbq is a huge part of my life. That being said dinner Saturday night was unbelievably fantastic. I absolutely loved everything that we ordered. Moms meatballs were my favorite dish. I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that they are vegan. The cocktails were also delicious and strong. A++++ for this restaurant!“

“True hospitality! I arrived last night after evacuating from Florida. Kenja and the executive chef brought me to tears because of the hospitality, warmth and concern for me and the people of Florida. 🫶🏼. This is what a high end restaurant is supposed to be. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.“

“Fast service! Friendly atmosphere ! Always leave happy when we come here 👌✌️😀“

“Everything was amazing. The food was great, the atmosphere was wonderful and our server Tye Emmons was fabulous! Great place to dine. Will be back soon.“

“Idk why it’s so hard to find fresh crabs in Philly this decade. Had to crack them open to make sure but yuppp, think this place about to be my new go to spot for blue crabs. Pic without all the sauce so you can see the color inside. Keep up the good work :)“

“Tối nay lại ghé Gabriella's Vietnam, gọi ngay đĩa tôm nướng thơm lừng với thêm tô phở gà nóng hổi. Ăn xong thấy vừa no vừa ấm bụng, đúng kiểu hương vị Việt mà mình mê. Không gian quán ấm cúng, nhân viên thì siêu dễ thương“

“Awesome that’s all I can say.“

“We went for Valentine's Day. The food was delicious. I got the surf and turf and everything was cooked perfectly. Service was awesome - the hostess, servers and busboys were great. I'm so glad we went last night. Thank you !“

“Always fresh seafood and definitely tasty!💯👌🏾“

“We chose Spasso because my sister remembered it from years ago. We had a relatively early dinner at Spasso the evening of Philly's first Friday of the season. We had a great seat by the street facing windows. Our server was friendly and provided great service. We all enjoyed our meals, generous portions, so we did have some to take home. Overall, a great experience, we would return. Saw several people same evening who all said they hadn't been there in years. After our description of dinner, they said they would visit soon. Yum!“

“Hello, I wasn’t sure because of the name but I’m glad I stopped. I had the Hibachi mix vegetable w chucks of chicken and nice size shrimp and fried rice, everything was deliciously fresh my rice was not sticky, and it came with a side salad, Thumps Up to #DrunkeCrab!! top off w a breath mint.“

“Omg I was so hungry so I said I would give it a try i know that Pam use to cater for us at Kimberly Clarke.. I had the fish and Chicken wings ate myself silly..her staff Ms Fatine love her was so glad too see her. Omg if you haven't you need too get there, the best I mean the best. I will be back .Thanks so much“

“Best diner experience I’ve had! The staff and food was amazing! Everything was fresh and flavorful 10 out of 10“

“I've chosen this restaurant twice for parties because of the quality of food, outstanding customer service, and the only complaint I have is that the air conditioning was not cold. We chose a 100 degree day to go and found out the hard way. It was 88 degrees in the restaurant. 🫠“

“Really great food- we had the shrimp fried rice, noodle bowl and wings (salt + pepper). All meals were so tasty even the spring rolls! Wings were crispy, well seasoned and tasty. Restaurant staff are very nice and welcoming. We sat in, only 4 tables. It was a good dining experience not like a sit down restaurant for example you order at the desk, and there’s no waiter. So casual and lovely vibes! Definitely recommend and will be ordering again!!“

“Love their seafood boils“

“Good food. Good customer service.“

“Went tonight for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. Only 2 other tables were occupied on a Sat night and we think it’s under recognized. The price felt very comparable to other Italian spots in the area and the food quality was on par or better. Our waitress was fantastic. We will definitely be back!“

“Customer service was exceptional. Seating area was a bit small but everyone was so friendly and worked as a team. Honestly the best service I ever had. I went for restaurant week and ordered the shrimp creole. Omg I cleaned my plate and was still salivating over the idea of more when I got home. My partner ordered the crab soup and the salmon. Eyes rolled in the back of his head y’all. Everything was so well and for my first time they left a lasting impression. Would definitely dine here again. I’m just disappointed the shrimp creole isn’t on the regular menu.“

“Shout out to Jean D our waiter for the good service! My daughters and I went on our Girls Day Christmas shopping trip and always stop at the Deptford restaurant when we are done. He gave us just the right amount of attention and was very pleasant. Sometimes we feel either rushed or ignored but he made sure we were taken care at our pace. It was a great experience.“

“Please don’t let the outdated atmosphere keep you from experiencing this place. The service was terrific, and the food was even better. I ordered the fish hoagie and could only eat half; there were at least four pieces of fish on it, plus a side of potato salad. The potato salad wasn’t the best, but it wasn’t bad either.

My husband had the fried shrimp platter with six shrimp, coleslaw, and fries. He said it was delicious and only struggled to finish because the portion was so generous. Overall, I’m honestly upset it took me so long to try this spot. I drive by it at least three times a week!

If you want it shorter, more casual, or more enthusiastic, I can tweak the tone in one pass.“

“Cat was actually the most amazing wonderful human ever!! Staff was so helpful and wonderful that went above and beyond to help. Cat cares so much about every customer and strives to provide meaningful and empathetic service. I really hope she gets all the appreciation she deserves.“
