Son of a Sailor Seafood

When the original restaurant we had planned to eat at was far too crowded, we ended up at Son of a Sailor Seafood because of their high google star rating. And wow are we glad we did! We enjoyed it immensely - the shrimp cocktail was beautifully simple, it was fresh and delicious! The Crab Bites were outstanding: the batter and meat were amazing, and their signature sauce added the perfect touch. We enjoyed the open seating patio. It was definitely a little pricey, but even so we’re confident we will be back any time we are in Avalon or surrounding towns!

Do yourself and them a favor and call ahead to put your order in (plus you can make sure they’re open if it’s the shoulder season)! They’ll tell you when to come in and it’s so easy to pay and tip and find a nice table outside. We came in September— everything was amazing. Broiled shrimp and scallops combo and a hot lobster roll blew us away with the quality, everything was perfectly cooked, and tasted so fresh and delicious. Friendly service, they came and checked on us outside and brought our food out when it was ready.

Had 2 lobster rolls. Probably a pound of lobster each roll. The biggest lobster rolls I’ve ever seen. And I’ve had a lot of lobster rolls. From up and down the east coast, this place had the biggest. Luke’s lobster in NYC was the top slot in my opinion but this joint surpasses that with extra lobster meat. So good. A pound of lobster per roll? I don’t know if that’s what they do, but my stomach felt like that.

This seafood spot was recommended to us by a local. The food is good, but be warned this spot requires ordering ahead of time. If you are looking for that New England seafood m, this spot is an okay spot but not exactly the same.

No frills takeout family run seafood shack with some small outside seating. Best lobster roll in Jersey just as good as anywhere in New England. Ow ers really take pride in bringing the best ingredients.
