Hooked Up Seafood

Says critic Craig Laban: “The fish doesn’t get any fresher than at Hooked Up Seafood, the cheerful, no-frills shack set along the Rio Grande Avenue causeway that connects the mainland to Wildwood: The picnic table where you’re devouring those bigeye tuna tacos, a pie tin of garlicky steamer clams, and platters of blackened John Dory is likely just a few feet from where Capt. Bill Bright has moored his commercial fishing boat, the Defiance.”
