Fresh flounder and scallops (the fish boats dock around the corner), broiled or fried to perfection are featured at this clean non-descript location. Shrimp, clams and mussels are on the menu. Crab cakes (no filler) are a family recipe This is primarily a take-out site but tables are available (plastic utensils) and it is BYO. A great seaside resort treat... More

Joe, the head chef, is a very personable and sociable individual that cooks his meals fresh with pride. Refuses to use frozen seafood because it takes away the wonderful taste that it should leave in your mouth. I know this because I spent about 15 minutes speaking with him while dining at this venue. If you're in Wildwood, you MUST... More

It's now May and this restaurant is not open. Been traveling to WW and stopped here three weekends in a row, based on trip advisors reviews. Seasonal restaurants need to advertise when they will reopen. It would be nice to visit restaurants with high ratings in the shoulder seasons without the crowds.

Please accept our apology for not being open upon your arrival. A few things affected the timing of our opening; the City of Wildwood has installed new gas lines and water lines around our location, making it impassable for the last couple of weeks, it should be completed by this week-end. That's why we chose to open on May 10th,... More

I am a big fan of traveler reviews..and the reviews for this restaurant were right on target! We headed over to the Crab and Seafood shack one evening based on what I read on trip advisor. It definitely reminded me of a pizza shop, very plain nothing fancy, but we had some of the best seafood we have ever eaten.... More

Owned by a retired cop and run by mostly family. Fantastic seafood for very reasonable prices. The place was a pizza joint in the past, so no atmosphere, but food more than makes up for it. Only drawback is very limited seating. A real jem!

We were looking for a place to have dinner and noted the many good reviews for the Crab and Seafood Shack on Trip Advisor. When we arrived it looked more like a little pizzeria then a seafood restaurant, but were we in for a pleasant surprise. The fish was fresh and tasty and the owner and waitress were such a... More
