Ortley Seafood Market

Called and ordered an order of fish and chips to go. What a mistake! The fish was very fishy tasting to the point that I couldn't eat it. The majority of the fish pieces were all dark brown. The fries were good, but that's about it. $20 for an order of fries... Do Not recommend.

Last weekend (8/2025) I went in to buy prepared food, I ordered a broiled fish platter which was advertised as a filet of fish, shrimp, scallops, stuffed clam and a lobster tail. After waiting nearly 35 minutes I only got one scallop and ½ lobster tail, which wasn’t much larger than the shrimp (2 shrimp included) I received. ½ lobster tail was extremely overcooked, like a rubber band. Got ripped off by stingy penny pinching people! . You want to only include one oyster and ½ lobster tail? No problem, just change your menus to reflect that. Picture of the menus I took with me that day attached, which now resides in my trash can.

The food was amazing here! All of the seafood is fresh and on display. I got raw oysters with salmon. The salmon was cooked to perfection and sitting in butter. The oysters were good, and they tasted fresh. The food was a bit expensive but it was very good. A great place for vacation! I would recommended it!

My uncle always likes to get dinner here whenever he visits but can no longer make the trip from northern NJ. I ordered twin lobster tails to bring him for his 93rd birthday. Thank you Carlos for making my uncles birthday a success. The tails made his day.

I ordered ½ dozen steamed blue crabs and was given a full dozen instead. I didn’t mind the extra since my family loves crabs, but when we got home and started eating, the meat was mostly mushy and doughy with an off taste. After looking it up, this usually means they were undercooked or improperly frozen/stored. My family and I love crabs and have eaten them dozens/hundreds of times, I have NEVER had crab with this texture or awful taste. Unfortunately, we ended up throwing everything in the trash despite paying a good amount. I’ll update this review if anyone in my family gets sick from the few bites we tried. Very disappointing, especially for a seafood market where freshness and proper preparation are key.
