Randomly found this place when I was looking for a local seafood spot. It has an old school fish market feel and is extremely clean inside. Small selection BUT offers seafood foils and fried food options. Hubby and I got the whiting with fries. Huge portion of fish, 4 nice sized pieces. Service was super fast. However, although the fish & fries were fried to perfection they both lacked some flavor. Fries were crispy but could've used a little salt and pepper. The fish also was kind of bland but perfectly crunchy and fresh. We will definitely be back to try a boil and some other items. read more

This place is awesome!!!! I've been buying my Crabs and other seafood from them for over 15yrs now. Dennis has always been so courteous, and on point when it comes to making sure your food is fresh and hot. I've recommended so many of my friends and family to this place, and everyone loves it. read more

Lindy's Seafood - Seafood Markets Near Me - Linden, New Jersey

Worst food I ever had! My fries was stale and my whiting fish was so OLD! They will never get my money again.

Lindy's Seafood has been there at least 50 years. Yes, they still make and sell Lindy's Seasoning for fish, just ask for it. Yes, they still have the Fry Section on the right for takeout. In a changing world, Lindy's never changes. read more

Great seafood and great service ! I come here for their fresh selection of fish and crabs

This is my go to spot while in Newark and out of Jersey. Dennis, the owner, is amazing! wonderful and personable, great crabs, hours are good, food is good and did I mention how awesome he is. he remembers his customer and treats everyone like family. It's clean and service is fast. read more

Who says you can't go to a Fish Market and it's clean and well organized? I love Lindy's. And I travel a ways from my home to get to them. Their seafood is always fresh and available. Some times there are lines, but it's a small place, with plenty of parking. I never complain because the workers are always friendly, they always provide great, quick service and FRESH TASTY SEAFOOD. I always get steamed shrimp light seasoned or clams steamed with hot sauce and lemons, Dungeness and Snow crab legs . I love the blue crabs and the steam menu specials. They offer many specials and hot fried food too. I always order a 1/2 bushel for my family BBQs. I wish they provided their menu online. But I know it's subject to change. I've been a customer for a very long time and will continue to be. read more

Lindy's Seafood - Steamed Clams On A Half Shell with Lemon and Hot Sauce - Seafood Markets Near Me - Linden, New Jersey

I give it a 3 star because of the crabs, I feel it's a rip off sometimes, if I order jumbo crabs then I expect jumbo crabs. Sometimes they're jumbo but lately they look like the medium crabs back before covid. I can only imagine what the medium crabs look like now. I got large the last time I was there and same they look like the medium crabs before covid. I understand y'all need to make y'all money but don't rip us off in the process.. I also had some friends come up from Maryland and they got jumbo they really wanted their money back. You have a sign that says Maryland crabs and it's not true I just had crabs from Maryland and what a huge difference them Jumbo's was huge like they're suppose to be. I been coming to Lindy's since I was a little girl with my parents and I kept going once I got older. I'm 50 now please give us what we pay for. read more

Went here to grab some crabs for a few friends and I. The location seems out of place but it's been there for years. It is a family owned establishment that has been passed down from generation to generation. The current manager/owner Dennis Chon couldn't have been nicer. He took the time to answer all question and even gave us a run down of how the business came to be. This is the second time visiting here and will definitely be back. On that day we got a dozen and a half of medium female crabs and they steamed them and seasoned them to perfection. Highly recommended this place. read more

The crabs were amazing delicious. I travel from Bergen County to come here from seafood. The portion was worth the money. This was my first time there and I will happily visit again read more

Drove here from bayonne... not happy with crab cake... how do you have a business that sells crabs and use imitation crab meat in your crab cake??? It was also over fried and as hard as a hockey puck! Took one bite and threw it in the trash!!!! read more

Great food and great service. The gentleman at the register was very pleasant I would definitely come back when I'm the area read more

Amazing prices and amazing food. I highly recommend giving it a try especially for the Maryland crab lovers

I am a crab lover and know the difference between small, medium and large crabs. On 9/11/2020, I asked my husband to stop by Lindy's Seafood after work to pick up one dozen of large crabs which totaled $40. The employee who helped my husband assured him they were "large crabs". When my husband arrived home with the crabs they were small or medium size crabs. I was Over charged $40 for one dozen of large crabs which I did not receive, see pictures attached . I attempted to support a business who in-turn took advantage of a paying customer. With that being said, I will Never patronize this business again based on their employee deceptive business practices. read more

Lindy's Seafood - My husband paid $40 for a dozen of large crabs and we received these medium to small crabs instead! What a rip off during a pandemic!! - Seafood Markets Near Me - Linden, New Jersey

I went here because I wanted blue crabs. 1st of all, they do not have live blue crabs. They are already steamed, and then steamed again with added seasoning. Because I was doing my own crab boil, I got a dozen males, "not steamed", but they were already cooked. I got them home, cooked them and once I began to crack them open, and they had a smell of ammonia so I ended up throwing a dozen crabs away. I got crab legs also and they were small and once cooked the shell was so soft that I had use a fork to open them. I won't be returning. read more

100% Seafood that's been here FOREVER. I think Lindy's seasoning for seafood is still made by them. Lindy's has a few fried fish takeout dishes that give a lot of value for the price. I don't believe they ever took d/c cards. Lindy's is as a part of long-standing Linden as Balinski's Bowling Balls, Pulaski's Meat, White Rose System hamburgers, the Churches,, the Bars, it's a steady, reliable neighborhood institution. read more

Great local *FRESH* seafood. The steamed and fried options make it easy to enjoy your seafood right away. I appreciate this especially on a hot day. We ordered a pound of large shrimp lightly seasoned, 3 dozen little neck clams steamed and flavored with lemon and hot sauce (SO GOOD) and 2 dozen crabs--needless to say we had quite the feast. read more

Lindy's Seafood - little neck clams w/ lemon and hot sauce - Seafood Markets Near Me - Linden, New Jersey

Loved this place. Called before to verify if they have oysters left around 6pm, and they did. Drove there, didnt expect the best quality, and came home with surprises. They charge $15 for a dozen, which is not bad at all. Despite the differences in sizes，they all came very "meaty". Taste wise they are super fresh, unfortunately not very sweet or flavorful as those you get at restaurants for $3-$5 per piece. But really, you cant get a better deal and more fresh ones than these. Will come back！ read more

Love the steamed crabs & shrimp the ppl are always nice even when there busy as hell ... There no type of smell it's so fresh and they seafood is well respected jus as the ppl are... Always returning read more

I go here to get blue crabs. The crabs are extremely small for the price but they are the only fresh blue crab provider I've found in the area. The crabs are not all that good. What I do now is buy them uncleaned and bring them home to clean and sautée myself! Which works perfectly. So it saves me some time and effort because they're precooked and I just have to clean them and pop em in the oven. I'm used to excellent seafood so maybe I'm just biased. read more

Lindy's Seafood saved the day when an *unnamed* seafood store in Roselle, NJ decided that they weren't going to sell us one of the two bushels of steamed crabs they had that we preordered yesterday - but that's another story. We called almost every seafood market within a 10 mile radius with no luck. We drove up to Lindy's, which was packed with happy looking customers. The cashier was sympathetic to our situation, and informed us about the different pricing for the different options. He was so kind. Despite the large amount of customers, we did not have to wait too long at all for a half bushel + a couple extra dozen. Lindy's is now our go to spot for all things seafood! Ps the other store smelled like old fish and Lindy's smells like a restaurant. read more

I love this place the seafood is so clean and fresh and I'm very particular on picking out seafood the seafood spot near my house in Elizabeth compared to here Is so Nasty there crabs and other seafood is so dry and nasty and got me sick but when I order crabs from lindys yesterday for the first time it was pretty good esspecailly the blue crab females the snow crabs were ok they were alittle dry but it's ok cuase my boyfriend Still ate them Lol and then the clams were sooooo good and the blue crabs were So Good I'm thinking about coming back on the 30 to get another bunch for My dad cuase he will devour them lol read more

Crabs were cooked before and they just reheat them. They are a good value seeing that Maryland crabs are very hard to find in this area.

We had been searching for somewhere in northern Jersey to get Maryland-style steamed crabs (my boyfriend is from Baltimore). Lindy's did not disappoint. The crabs were just like they serve in Maryland, with Lindy's own Old Bay spice. The crabs were also decent sized and DELICIOUS. Highly recommend!! Make sure to call in advance if you have a bigger order- we called the day before to order 5 dozen large crabs (came out to $28/dozen), and they were extremely polite and friendly to us. read more

Lindy's was wonderful! I called early Saturday to place our order to pick up late in the day and Dennis was a huge help! He gave me full details of the pricing and even recommended we go with a half bushel which was on special to save some money! Lindy's has allowed me to have my Maryland Blue Crabs, fully cooked and covered in old bay without needing to sit in the car for 4 hours to get down to Maryland! One note - call early, by the time we called to place our order, they were already out of the Jumbo crabs. Also, make sure you have cash or a debit card, no credit cards are accepted. read more

I usually don't like to write any negative reviews but nowadays its important to share experience. I walked in the place to get some food for my workers. I went to the fry counter and there was a Chinese lady working there who was the meanest person I have ever met. Money hungry and bad looks. I thought I will get a fresh fish but I noticed that these Chinese people sell old and smelly fish. She went in the back of the kitchen and brought some fish covered with paper so I cannot see. Small 2 pieces for 8.00 and plus stale, dark meat and smelly fish. Small portion of fries. UKHHHHHHHHH. I miss the real owners who were the best, they used to service local clients with heart and soul. I am an unhappy customer and I never said or complained about anything. I just walked away. Please be careful ordering form them. They are sneaky and mean people. They are taking advantage of the local area because there is no seafood around. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE read more

Love this place for Maryland crabs. When the mood strikes, we pre-order and then at pick up, they steam them, sprinkle on the delicious seasonings and indulge at home... Satisfies our craving without having to go all the way to Maryland. It's awesome! read more

Love this place .. was taken by a friend a couple winters ago & got some steamed shrimp, they seasoned it to perfection so it wasn't salty at all ... shyt I'm writing the review as I'm pulling up cuz I finally found it after not talking to this person anymore .... Hell Yea the Food is still awesome read more

This is my first Yelp post. I have been coming to Money's for over 30 years. I moved two hours away , took a special detour from South Jersey for crabs. I ordered a dozen males, when I got home they were all females. I just called them to let them know and they hung up on me! Upsetting. Check your order before you leave. read more

I'll add a 1/2 and it would've been higher if they didnt run outta king crab legs..the shrimp was really good when I cooked them..the snow crabs I had to settle for didnt have a lot of meat in the legs..updated review to come..good enough to come back for them King Crab legs read more

I woke up from a nap wanting steamed shrimp so i googled steamed shrimp and Lindy's came up. It was only 5 min away so why not! The place is extremely clean and quick. I ordered 2 lbs of green mussels and 1 lb of medium shrimp with old bay for $24! It took a total of 7 mins to steam it. It was literally a 10 min trip and was so fresh and tasteful! I can't wait to go back. read more

The fish is very fresh. I usually go to buy Blue Crabs. They are the only place in the area that regularly offers Blue Crabs. They are steamed and seasoned right in front of you. Love this place!! read more

The seafood is fresh and fairly priced and the owners son is very pleasant. Customer service is a big deal to me. I give it 4 stars because I would never have them fry any of my food. The lady is mean and rude plus the food has lots of breading with no taste or seasoning . read more

This place gets 5 stars from me! I'm a serious crab and steamed shrimp connoisseur, and this place never lets me down with either order. There's no place to sit down and eat here, but whenever I order crabs and/or shrimp, my order has always been fresh! Something I never experienced when ordering from other places in the past. I drive almost 20 miles one way to get here, but it's well worth it!! read more
