I love coming here when I crave for seafood. Their American Maine Mussels are my favorite!

The food was amazing, the seafood was incredibly fresh and the prices were very very very reasonable. The fried oyster appetizer was so good along with the side sauce. The mussels were also perfectly cooked. Cannot wait to visit again. read more

Ordered beer battered haddock and fries to go. Also bought fresh cod to cook. The haddock was pretty awful. The fries were a soggy mess. Ate a few bites and put it in the garbage. The cod, while not gone bad, was not a fresh as it should be. It had an odor. Not recommended. read more

Gourmet fresh cooked seafood. Good selection of fresh fish and ready to cook seafood. I love their tuna. Vegetable sides are always great.

Great food and prices. Ordered take out for 6 . I will return. How I haven't been here before is beyond me. I will return again and often. read more

Best seafood takeout we have found in this area. Everything we ordered was excellent and we will return. I have nothing bad to say.

I searched Google for a seafood place near me in Maple Shade. This place came up and I saw the reviews on Google so I decided to try it out. The first platter was Broiled Flounder Stuffed with Crab Imperial. The two sides were Buttered Corn and Potato Wedges. The fish was very bland and did not have much flavor. The crab stuffing had chunks of crab in it but was mediocre in flavor. The consistency of the stuffing was watery almost like it had been previously frozen. The wedges were good but the corn was brown and dried out. Not impressed with this combo. The Favorite Trio (fried version) contained fried flounder, shrimp, and scallops. The scallops again tasted like there were made from frozen pieces as they were watery. The shrimp were good, The flounder was completely bland. I mean really bland. The sides were sweet potato fries and coleslaw. The sweet potato fries were very good. The close slaw was not "slaw". It was not good at all. It was mushy and just weird. The Broiled Crab Cakes were good. They had a good flavor and chunks of crab meat. I had sauteed string beans and zucchini which was a good match with the crab cakes. When I go to a place like this my expectation is to have food that beats my own. It doesn't take much to flavor a flounder filet with seasonings that makes it taste great. The bill came out to $59.00. For the prices and for the quality of the food, this was a disappointment. Make me really wonder about the reviews on here. Cooking at home is becoming a lost art. This could be really good food if the seasonings were increased and attention to taste was, well, paid attention to. Sorry guys just my honest opinion. read more

Really good food and great service. Only issue is the snapper soup has one spice that is over done otherwise everything was great

We ordered 6lbs of mussels to cook at home for Christmas eve. They were large and fresh. We had some cleaning to do for sure, but overall they were pretty clean. Not sandy. The people who work here could be friendlier on the phone. Overall the pick up process went well. I would get seafood from here again, given the freshness. read more

Got the cajun jumbo shrimp and dayboat scallops over angel hair pasta with mushrooms. Outstanding. Never dissapoints my wife and I. Compliments to the chef. read more

Another hidden gem I found looking for a fresh seafood market on google. Pulled up there was a spot right outside which is always nice on the quiet maple shade Main Street. When I walked in I expected a quiet market but what i saw was awesome. A full dining room of people enjoying a Saturday lunch. I walked up to a GORGEOUS display of fresh fish and "ready to cook" delights. A case full of raw fish fillets and clams and next to it a huge case of homemade seafood favorites. Jumbo shrimp (raw and cooked) clean or not. Lobster tails, Lobster imperial, bacon wrapped scallops, stuffed Clams and so much more. I got a 6 Pack of huge crab stuffed mushroom and a pound of cleaned ( i was being lazy but this is why this place is awesome) and took it home to make a nice Saturday dinner. I threw the mushrooms in the oven at 400 for 35 minutes and sautéed some shrimp in cilantro and lime juice and it was so fresh I was amazed. The staff was awesome but being a chef myself the open window seeing their chef running 10+ sauté pans making it look easy was the best part. I took mine to go but I will definitely be dining in next time. Best part about it... it's AFFORDABLE. read more

Small gem of a place in Maple Shade, NJ great staff friendly people. Still in the pandemic so no inside dining yet, take out only. Last order was broiled groper cooked to perfection with side of grilled vegetables very nicely cooked. Also ordered one of the many selections of soup always hot. On many occasions around holidays we picked up cooked shrimp with clams and oysters. On display in the counter are many offerings of prepared items crab cakes, fish cakes, deviled clams, bacon wrapped scallops and so much more. When is the last time you combined a fish cake and hot dog for a combo if you ever had. Sounds weird but actually very good with mustard and raw onions (the best). read more

My food was less than fresh. The seafood was very fishy tasting and smelly, a sign of old catch.

I called to order lunch today. The man who answered the phone was very rude, he even seemed annoyed that I was calling to order food stating "there's only one person cooking today and he's very busy". OK then never mind my bad I thought you were a restaurant that I could order food from, Don't worry I won't call again read more

I thought I was getting a treat by ordering therefor takeout. The New England clam chowder was very good. My friend was "satisfied" with her fried clams entree. Sadly, my main dish was disappointing. I ordered the a la carte soft shell crabs, thinking they were in season. Unfortunately when I got home, I found they were not fresh but frozen breaded crabs. Actually tasted like something I could have gotten from the grocery store. Definitely not worth the drive, and I will have to rethink driving over there again. read more

This is our Go To place for seafood. Everything is so fresh and delicious. This place is strictly take out. We frequent a few times a month. A family owned business , and the family is very friendly. read more

Upsides: Spicy crab soup is excellent as was tortilla crusted tilapia. Atmosphere is casual - has a "down the shore" feel. Good prices for homemade seafood. Fresh seafood in the case looked super; better than the grocery store for sure. Downsides: strong aroma of frying fish, lots of thru-traffic from takeout & fish market customers. Flounder was a little too "fishy". read more

Sea Lect Seafood - the interior of a restaurant - Seafood Markets Near Me - Maple Shade, New Jersey

The best seafood restaurant in the area, and it's not close. Have been here many times when visiting my parents, and it's our go-to. No idea what the people on here complaining about service are talking about. It's a very small restaurant, which seems to explode the brains of people who think they have a constitutional right to a seat here no matter what's going on. Plan ahead, it's worth it. The food is exceptional, with generous portion sizes. Particularly love the grilled scallops but I've never eaten anything here that I didn't think was stellar. read more

Seafood Select Maple Shade NJ - Food is good my problem is with the service! It blows!!! Whether you eat in or take out. The phone number is constantly busy- when they answer their rude. Order some more lines and get some folks to answer!!!!! It's money dickhead. This is a horrible run business. It's the only Seafood place in Maple Shade! Always crowed invest in your business!!!!! Like I said the food is good expensive but good so why don't you put some money in your business? Like I said above worst run business in Maple Shade NJ read more

My son raved about this place so we thought we would give it a try, since our favorite place, Alex's, closed recently. I ordered takeout and it would be ready in 25 minutes. We ordered mussels, cajun catfish and Atlantic Salmon Fillet w/ Lump Crab Meat in a Horseradish Cream Sauce. Costs us ~$40. We should have checked the order before leaving. My catfish was tasty but the pricy salmon fillet was dry as dust. Crabmeat and horseradish cream sauce were nowhere to be found. Just a freaking dry piece of fish with no sauce! Needless to say, we won't be back. read more

Meh. Not that good. Crab cakes lacking in those crab chunks you like and also lacking in taste. Clams casino - just ok. Fish is fresh and I've never had it made just got it to go. Expensive for the lack quality read more

Just took a coworker here for lunch and again, the food and service were excellent. This place always delivers on quality food and friendly service. I had the lunch special codfish with chili sauce and crabmeat and stewed tomatoes and coleslaw as my sides. My coworker had the stuffed shrimp and he was impressed at how much crabmeat was inside. I can't recommend this place enough. It's a Maple Shade institution and we are lucky to have such a great restaurant in our town. I've been coming here since the 1980s and I'll keep going back. read more

Wow! I never expected the food to be this fantastic. The store is a little stuffy. It definitely smells like fish and seafood spot. I was a little disappointed that they didn't have a snow or Alaskan crab special. Yet, who cares. My scallop and shrimp pasta dish cooked in white wine was perfect. read more

Nice little place. Excellent food. I've eaten there many times and never had a bad meal.

This place is awesome the portions are big Very flavorful. Amanda. Our waitress. Was so nice. Been here a couple times and she has not steered us wrong yet. Scallops cook perfect. Tuna dishes are great along with the pasta. Limited seating but worth the wait. read more

Go and order your heart out. Delicious, great portions and very friendly staff. Order or eat here, it's like stepping back in time. I love it. 100xs better than crab du jour read more

Great seafood all year round. The dining area is small, but the quality of the food far outweighs the size of the seating area. Some of the best salmon that I can find in the SNJ area. UPDATE 2015-06-06: The portions have reduced in size, and the prices have increased dramatically, not in line with other seafood purveyors. read more

How have I not rated this place yet?!? This has become the default family celebration destination. We have been there so often we have tried just about everything on the menu and found our individual favorites. My wife is the soup and will anything really, mother is the pan seared sea scallops, grandmother is anything that gets put down in front of her, for being 92 and a stick figure she still packs it away here, and I go with the pan seared sea scallops. read more

First time here. The food was amazing. The customer service was even better. I've been on the hunt for a good fried clam and fried shrimp, boy did they deliver. I think this is my new spot. Hopefully they don't change. Everything was really fresh and their cocktail and tarter sauce are good as well too. read more

My elderly father loves seafood. I had passed the restaurant several times and wanted to try it out. There were many patrons there, so we needed to sit at a smaller table, but we had just enough room to sit. The server was very nice, and accomodating, aware of my father's needs. I was pretty hungry and cold, so I ordered their crab bisque, bacon wrapped scallops, and seafood white cream pasta. My father always likes crabcakes, and we ordered that dinner plate. The crab bisque was tasty, while the bacon wrapped scallops were so flavorful, I was tempted to eat more than my portion since I eat much faster than my Dad (ha-ha). Didn't need to worry since by the time my seafood pasta plate came I was getting full from the soup, and scallops. The pasta was EXTREMELY good and flavorful, not just a lot of salt. My Dad said his crabcakes were good also. We could not eat everything, and had the rest the next day, a great treat. Can't wait to go back! read more

Horrible! Food is bland and tasteless. Wouldn't go back if they were giving the food away. Can't understand why their rating is so high. Must be their faithfuls and perhaps they save the better food for these CERTAIN people. read more

Sooo impressed with this small restaurant! It is practically across the street from my apartment so I was so excited to check it out. The place is small but comfortable! We were the youngest ones in the crowd but thats ok! You can order any of the food to go, it all comes from a clean, organized cooler. The waitresses were sweet and loved chatting about the business and history. Dinner was 30$ for 2 people BYOB. Can't wait to go back and try more! read more
