★★★☆☆ 3.0 David Moskowitz · Jun 2017

Reasonable selection of fish. Better selection of shell fish. Prices are a bit steep. Fish quality... Not sure it would be my first choice compared to other places on the island. Downgraded to 3 stars after visiting another. The halibut here looked a bit grey & thin by comparison. Also not sure why they sell wet-packed scallops. Obviously there's a market for the cheaper shellfish, but the taste is so much better with dry-pack (which they also sell for about $5 more per pound -- totally worth it when you understand you're not paying for water injected into the scallops)

★★★★★ 5.0 Sunny Orchid · Sep 2021

Fresh catch of the day with variety you can choose from scallops, steamers, clam, oyster, shrimp and more. I love eat and peel my own foods

★★★★★ 5.0 M Kricko · Jul 2023

Mussels were super fresh and made our pasta delicious. Out of two pounds of mussels only a couple of them weren’t viable. Satisfied customer.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Scott McKissick · Jul 2024

We always buy bulk clams to make clams casino. This was the first time we bought from surf city fishery they were very pleasant on the phone and we decided to make the drive all the way from the south end of the island. The place was a little rundown and clearly had seen better days. The price was a little steep at 60 bucks per hundred but we were initially impressed when they checked every Clam as they were counting them out. We always soak overnight in freshly collected seawater to allow them to clean themselves. The next day was the first sign of trouble when we found nine dead. Scrubbing and sorting, we found that we were short at 11 and by the time it was time to shuck and prepare the casinos more had died for a total of 32 out of 150 lost or shorted. This was a huge disappointment, w
