Shucked by Local 130 Seafood

Nestled within the vibrant Grand Arcade of Convention Hall, Shucked by Local 130 Seafood is a delightful addition to Asbury Park's burgeoning culinary scene. Founded by Eric Morris and co-owner Michael Kenlay, this seafood haven replaces the former Asbury Oyster Bar with a mission to deliver exceptionally fresh seafood in a manner that is both upscale and approachable. Our recent visit coincided with the festive Asbury Park Holiday Bazaar, where the atmosphere buzzed with holiday cheer and artistic flair. While many were drawn to the crafts and decorations, our hearts were set on the culinary offerings, and Shucked did not disappoint. From the moment we were seated, our server Mariah made us feel right at home. Her genuine passion for food and engaging conversation transformed our dining

What a gem! We came because of the reviews of the oysters and fish & chips. Not only did those dishes live up to what people said about them, we left impressed with the fisherman’s stew, the lobster roll and the clam chowder. Plus the service was warm and delightful. The seafood is fresh because it comes straight from Local 130 Seafood (a seafood market by the same owners). We will be back!

The food was a 10/10! Our server Mariah was friendly, helpful in recommendations and attentive. We started with the Local 130 caviar, it was fresh and delicious. I highly recommend the Buffalo Frito Misto, it had a light batter and the buffalo and orange flavors complimented the dish in an unexpected way. We also had the yellowtail crudo, it was light and packed of flavor, definitely try this! Lastly in appetizers we had the grilled Swordfish special it was so unique in flavors, it had Mediterranean spin on it, very good. For our entrees I had the tuna crudo and my husband had the soft shell crab sandwich special. The tuna crudo was delicious, the flavors in the dish were outstanding. My husband absolutely loved his soft shell sandwich. We can’t wait to come back!

Shucked is a great little spot located in Asbury park right off the boardwalk. The seafood is fresh and the drinks are very well crafted. They have some excellent oyster options of course, but they have others dishes as well.

Welcome to yumtown! This place is excellent. Perfect place to grab some fresh seafood on the boardwalk. The yellowtail crudo is my favorite thing on the menu. Best lobster roll in Asbury Park. Oyster selection is always on point.
