Have been a Lusty’s fan for many years but today became a super fan. We had a few people over and got their shrimp, lobster and snow crab platter. Called at 11:00 and picked it up at 2:00. Soooo good. Fresh, perfectly cooked. Yum!

We love this place. Favorite seafood market in New Jersey. Must stop on the way back from the beach.

I have been going to Lusty since I moved here over a dozen years ago. There is a reason they have such an amazing reputation. Their fish is always the freshest. The staff is friendly and always helpful with recommendations. And they really care about their community. Along with the lobster, don't miss out on the cocktail crab claws, oysters and anything right off the boat!

This place is the best ! Fresh fish, clams, lobsters and love their smoked whitefish pate. Some other local fish markets buy from them and resell at higher prices, but going direct to the source is the way to go. Nice people and I hope they stay around forever - am always satisfied with their products. Thank you !

Seafood is suoer fresh. People there are nice. Yes you pay more but it's worth it to know it will be top quality. I recently called ahead a couple of days and ordered 20 lobsters for a private party. They packaged them nice and neat for me in a wax-lined box and put down plastic in my trunk so it wouldn't make a mess. They even carried out the box for me and put it in the car. Everyone raved about how sweet they were! Each year we have a lobster party and every year without fail we get the lobsters from Lusty Lobster. Also you should check out their holiday shrimp platters. They are professionally presented, sweet and succulent with their awesome cocktail sauce. It's a must have for the season!
