The Best Restaurants In Avalon, Stone Harbor & Sea Isle - Jersey Shore - The Infatuation

"If your goal is to eat fried shrimp and butter-drenched steamers on the waterfront in Sea Isle, but you prefer table service and a slightly more low-key atmosphere, Marie’s is the place for you. Beyond the tiny fish market in the front, where you can pick up a takeout order or a handful of limes you forgot to buy at Acme, you’ll find an enclosed patio on the dock. Whatever else you order—steamed lobster, blackened tuna, flounder stuffed with lump crabmeat—tack on a starter of crab minis, bite-sized crab cake balls that could easily do for dinner on their own. There’s also a robust kids’ menu, with fried clam strips and shrimp." - regan stephens, sydney mcelwee, candis mclean
