Authentic Portuguese seafood eatery with blue tiles, great octopus salad
"A Portuguese seafood-focused restaurant with a large dining room and a lively bar area that's ideal for lunch; recommended orders include amêijoas à bulhão pato (clams in a tangy garlic sauce) with complimentary Portuguese rolls for soaking up the sauce, generous pours of white wine, and a chilled salada de polvo (octopus in vinaigrette) on warm days." - ByEsra Erol
"Sit in the blue tiled barroom in front rather than the stuffy dining room in the rear, and enjoy the region’s best octopus, tendered in a mellow salad." - Robert Sietsema
"At this Portuguese seafood spot in Newark I had cockles ($16.50) steamed with olive oil and a huge amount of crushed garlic, producing a powerful briny taste and enough broth to sop up with Portuguese rolls — picking the tiny creatures from their shells is half the fun." - Eater Staff
"A short PATH ride from Manhattan, Seabra’s Marisqueira in Newark’s Ironbound is a splendid Portuguese seafood restaurant where I preferred sitting in the blue‑tiled barroom to order seasonal dishes like whole grilled sardines, octopus vinaigrette, raw oysters, and pork-and-clams cooked in a cataplana, all paired nicely with Portuguese wine and beer—don’t miss the fried potatoes." - Eater Staff
A cornerstone of the Ironbound’s Portuguese table since 1989. Frequently recommended by Eater and Bon Appétit, it’s the spot for grilled fish, garlicky clams, and generous seafood stews that define neighborhood dining.
