Being so close to the ocean, we’re blessed with the ability to obtain some of the freshest seafood around! Multiple restaurants take advantage of this natural resource and put out some of the finest seafood dishes around. We’ve spent a good amount of time dining in the county and present our top 30 Jersey Shore seafood dishes in Monmouth County.
We’ll present our Ocean County seafood list tomorrow.
The Tuscan inspired menu at the newly opened Trama’s Trattoria has been earning rave reviews for their food and drink. Starting your meal off with Chef Pat’s Famous Mussels is a good way to experience Trama’s.

Savannah native Rita Simmons knows her way through a southern kitchen. Order up the fried catfish and a side of hush puppies, then thank us later.

They serve their pan seared Tile Fish over brussel sprouts with applewood smoked bacon and tomato puree. It’s a flaky, savory delight!
