Klein's Fish Market

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Klein's Fish Market and Restaurant, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. Nestled on the scenic shores of New Jersey, this spot offers not just a meal but an experience. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a perfect blend of casual coastal charm and sophisticated elegance. The staff was incredibly attentive and knowledgeable, ensuring that every aspect of our dining experience was top-notch. The highlight, of course, was the food. The seafood was incredibly fresh, practically straight from the ocean to our plates. I started with the clam chowder, which was rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. For the main course, the grilled salmon was cooked to perfection—moist, tender, and seasoned beautifully. My dining companions raved about the lobster, which was succulent and sweet. What really sets Klein's apart is their commitment to quality. The portions were generous, and the flavors were spot on, showcasing the best of what the Jersey Shore has to offer. Pair that with a fantastic selection of wines and cocktails, and it’s clear why Klein’s is a local favorite. But it’s not just about the food—sitting by the water, enjoying the fresh sea breeze, and watching the boats go by adds a special touch that makes dining

So! This place just became like an every summer routine must visit place for definitely an a years back. Love an atmosphere and location, view is like nowhere else! The only thing they need to increase not decrease ( like they are doing now) service and food presentation at list , the only good thing, that food is fresh here! I understand that everyone is trying to survive in this hard economic situation in US however why they didn’t ever never would’ve not even try to start talking reservations instead of making people wait in line for hours? Today I have been told it’s an hour waiting time which it’s insane. It’s usually was 20 min than it’s became 40, now it’s an hour. And it’s was Sunday. And after all you get a very quick sloppy unprofessional service and oysters floating in the water on melted ice missing all the juice they supposed to keep! Don’t expect much, be realistic, place is not about the food and service! It’s about views and atmosphere! So don’t order much, just drinks and appetizers probably are enough to enjoy the views! Seems like they make you feel so and I will do after all ! Just trying to be objective and realistic despite how much I love the place been visiting for years 🥂🐚🏖️ Getting annoyed waiting to get a sit for an hours just for the quick sloppy service and dinner. Pics from years ago😍🥂❤️

I love Kleins! I am a return customer again and again. Some of the best seafood dishes and sushi you can get at the jersey shore. I was genuinely blown away by the quality of the sushi. My 4/5 stars is simply for the fact I think it is too popular and busy of a restaurant to not have a reservation system. My bf and I waited 2 hours for just a two person table, granted it was a Friday in the summer but there isn’t even great spots for waiting since people stay at the bar and don’t leave. I think deploying a better check in or reservation system would make a lot of Kleins customers happy and have a more positive experience since the restaurant food itself is so great. I will say sometimes some of the staff isn’t the friendliest I’ve experienced but I’ve also worked in food service and would never judge one person or one attitude and base my entire impression off of that, just something small to note.

Just left Klein’s, was my second experience here at the joint and let me tell you what an amazing place. I was served by a really nice woman named Carolyn who was just a pleasure. She couldn’t have been nicer and charismatic she made sure to make a personal connection with me and the party I was accompanying. Another girl Caitlin who also worked was really pleasant. I was fortunate enough to talk to her before eating and she made me and my group laugh and ultimately feel comfortable. Overall great place the food was excellent and Carolyn even shared a bit of knowledge about the trains that pass by which made the entire experience a bit more wholesome. 5 Stars boy oh boy am I full!!

The seafood here is to die for 🤤 and the rum buckets are delicious!! I got the Klein's Famous Clam Bake whole lobster with scallops,clams,mussels and shrimp. The baked potato could have been better but that’s minor everything else was chefs kiss 😌 also they had a specialty drink the cider sangria not a big fan of cider but it was surprisingly delicious. Definitely recommend but go ahead and try it won’t disappoint any seafood lover…

Celebrated my Aunt and Uncles 40th Wedding Anniversary w family. Great dinner except for my Aunt and Cousin swordfish was thin and just okay. The filet mignon shrimp scampi special was excellent. As well as the chicken francais

We had the fried haddock fish sandwich, and the broiled mussels and shrimp entree with vegetables and potato. Best were well prepared, well seasoned, and served in a timely manner. The dockside setting gave an opportunity to watch fishing boats travel from the marina to the ocean. Klein s Fish Market has a decades long reputation as being one of the top seafood restaurants in the area. We enjoyed our visit and would happily come again. A counter sells fish for those who prefer to buy preprepared and to cook at home. There is a more casual outdoor bar area also that was not open when we visited on a Saturday around lunch time.

Waterside, long time establishment and never disappoints! The appetizers of raw also steamed clams were great. We had broiled scallops & broiled flounder dinners. cooked to perfection! Rice & veg were not laddened with spicing. Watching the boats coming in river and ospreys across the river was added entertainment. The patio music which never ceased to break, was my rock & roll style.
