My girlfriend and I went to the Fish Factory in August 2011. The food was absolutely fantastic. I had the "Rod Special" which was a combo of Lobster, Shrimp, Scallops, and Clams over pasta in a white garlic sauce. The portion was huge and the dish was delicious the price was very reasonable at about 23$. My girlfriend had the... More

We decided to find the Fish factory after reading reviews on Trip Advisor. We went the Monday after Hurricaine Irene & our first day in the crest. It is a smaller, casual restaurant. We both got the broiled seafood sampler and we were both pleasantly suprised. Prices are decent for the food you get. The food was delicious and fesh.... More

I highly recommend their seafood bisque, which is the elixir of the gods. The sampler lets you try everything. You always get to choose whether they'll bake or fry your chosen fish. I haven't ever done it, but you could choose fish right from their display case (caught that morning) and ask them to cook it a certain way for... More

With all the Wildwood area restaurants that have gone downhill in recent years, we decided to go back to one that we remembered being good but unremarkable many (10?) years back. So we went for a take-out dinner from the Fish Factory on the last evening of our recent trip. Little did we know that take-out from a last minute... More

We have been going to the “Wildwoods” staying in Wildwood Crest for over the past 15 summers and this was our first visit to the "Fish Factory" thanks to Trip Advisor! This is a great little gem in the Crest if you are looking for fresh seafood at great prices. We ate our meals at the establishment which was clean,... More

My family & I have always ate at the Fish Factory every time we've vacationed in Wildwood Crest, as it's fresh seasfood, casual, and had been more affordable than most of the other seafood restaurants in the Wildwood & Cape May areas. This year, although the main entrees were fresh, I found that their fried calamari was probably worse than... More

We've been eating in Wildwood for about 40 years. Usually the restaurants are loud and expensive, and the food is poor to mediocre. However, the Fish Factory has some of the best seafood you will find anywhere. Most of the sales are carry out (fresh or cooked), but you can eat at a relatively small simple restaurant. The service and... More

We ordered delivery; the food came fast, and the fish was phenomenal. We vacation here for a week each year and we order our food from there most nights now - at this point we've had pretty much the whole menu, and the fish portions are delicious and big for the money. More

Seafood tastes like it jumped out of the ocean into the broiler & onto your plate. We went w/our kids & family & brother & sister-in-law. The only disappointing thing was when dinner was over! We were all super impressed. Best restaurant on the island, hands down! More
