Customer Reviews
Great quality food on a very simple classic seafood market atmosphere. There’s even a sign that reads “good seafood isn’t cheap and cheap seafood isn’t good” and I wouldn’t be shocked if the guy behind the counter was out on a boat that morning. Crab cakes were great quality, lots of meat without a lot of filler. Stuffed clams were nice and flavorful and very well priced. And the key lime pie that they are apparently very well known for lives up to its reputation. Will definitely be back.
I'm so glad I found this place. I can't wait to go back. Got pumpkin swordfish (which I had never even heard of), scallops, and tuna. All 3 were incredible. Prices are reasonable for what you get. And the service was outstanding as well
We explored some of the other fish markets on the island before deciding to get the ingredients for our annual vacation seafood feast here. It was our first time spending a week on LBI so we did our research! Not only was the selection at Blue Claw the best, but the quality and prices were as well. Soft shelled crabs priced two dollars less a piece than another place we found them! We got the soft shells, shrimp, stuffed clams, coleslaw and 100 middle necks. Can I say not a single broken clam and every single one opened beautifully and was delicious! No sand and all we did was rinse them off. Service at the counter was excellent with several employees jumping to help with our large order. They even cleaned the crabs for us no extra charge. We will definitely be returning to LBI and Blue Cl
When I’m on LBI I usually get a bushel fir crabs here. Born and raised in MD I know crabs. These guys carry a lot of fresh seafood. It won’t be cheap. But you won’t be disappointed either. Soft shell, jumbo lump, and live crabs are what I get.
Every year we spend the summer on LBI, and every year, Blue Claw does an extraordinary job. This is not an H-mart, it isn't about price, its about impeccable quality and freshness. Their scallops are generally incredible, their local tuna is often top teir, their fluke/tilefish/sea bass are always local anf fantastic. And their swordfish is always top notch. They even had pumpkin swordfish last year! They are expensive, but in line with seafood pricing in their market/in their fishery. There are really only two good fish markets left on the island, and this is one of them. 10/10. Just wish they remembered us year after year. A young crew staffs the place.
