"The lack of great seafood restaurants along the Monmouth County coast is almost as disappointing as missing that once-a-season whale sighting because you ran off the beach to refill the cooler. Thankfully, Spring Lake Seafood bucked that trend a few years back when this BYOB option opened its doors. The ahi tuna with house-made lo mein noodles, a crisp arugula topped fluke milanese, and their whole fried fish are among the menu highlights. Perhaps the biggest surprise you’ll find at Spring Lake Seafood is their thoughtfully curated, high-quality sushi menu—you won’t find any of the overly saucy sushi rolls that have taken over every convenience store and local tavern these days. We recommend the bluefin tuna flight and ora king salmon options for the table." - Michael Sinatra
