Reel Seafood is one of the more reliable dinner options on the Jersey Shore — the fish market attached to the restaurant means the product is fresher than at most places in town. The menu changes based on what came in that day, and the servers will tell you what is best rather than steering you toward the most expensive item. The room is simple and the vibe is relaxed.
The fish market is worth visiting even if you are not eating at the restaurant. Whole fish, fillets, and shellfish are priced honestly and the staff know the product. If you have access to a kitchen, buying from the market and cooking yourself is probably the best meal you will have in Belmar.
