Lovefood did a recent article that featured the best seafood restaurants in America. "Maine lobster, Alaska salmon, even catfish from the Louisiana bayou – from coast to coast, America has some of the best fish and seafood around the world. Whether you prefer traditional fare such as lobster rolls, gumbo, and clam chowder, or international dishes like sushi or fish tacos, there's a seafood restaurant that'll knock your socks off."

New Jersey's Best Seafood Restaurant

According to Lovefood, Dock's Oyster House, Atlantic City was the pick here in the Garden State. "The history of Dock's Oyster House stretches all the way back to 1897, when Harry Dougherty saw an opportunity to open a high-quality restaurant. It's still owned and run by the Dougherty family today, who maintain Harry's philosophy of offering the freshest seafood. There are even dishes on the menu that have been there since the restaurant's doors opened, such as the lobster tail and Dock's Seafood Fry. Oysters from the raw bar are all served with a zesty house-made cocktail sauce and tart cider mignonette."

Dock's Oyster House is located at  2405 Atlantic Ave, Atlantic City, NJ 08401. According to their website "In 1897, Harry "call me Dock" Dougherty believed there was a great opportunity in Atlantic City to open a restaurant that would serve the finest seafood available in a clean, comfortable and friendly atmosphere. And so he opened Dock's Oyster House, with 60 seats, no liquor license and very high standards. Dock's quickly became a favorite of locals and tourists alike, with lines often forming out the door on Atlantic."
