Mike’s Seafood

Seafood$-$$

Says critic Craig LaBan: “This massive seafood standby, which traces its roots to 1911 when the Monichettis arrived from Ischia to Sea Isle City and helped launch ‘Fish Alley,’ represents the prototypical seafood-deck experience. With long lines, cheerful counter service, and seafood combos served efficiently in aluminum take-out pans, it has few upscale airs. Expect quantity and quality, if not necessarily finesse. But the deviled clam, grilled swordfish, and lip-numbing shrimp ‘from hell’ are worth the trip.”
