Keyport Fishery: Fresh Seafood Delights Await You

i ordered fired half scallops and half flounder… the scallops were excellent but the flounder ended up dry… they were still good though and flavorful… oh and they only accept cash…

I have been going here over 15 years and never once disappointed. Food is always fresh and amazing. The best shucked oysters ever….

Keyport Fishery in New Jersey offers a refreshingly honest seafood experience. It’s a no-frills, takeout-only spot that lets the food speak for itself—and it speaks volumes. Located by the bay, this long-standing local favorite is all about freshness and simplicity. The fish is caught locally and cooked to order, which you can taste in every bite. I ordered the haddock fish sandwich, and it was excellent. Served on simple white bread with a side of tartar sauce, it struck a perfect balance. The fish was lightly breaded, golden, and crisp on the outside, moist and flaky inside. The tartar sauce was a great complement—creamy, tangy, and clearly made to enhance rather than overpower. The sandwich was served with fries and coleslaw on the side too. There’s no seating, just the seafood market and take-out counter. They have a strong reputation built on consistency. Service was quick and friendly, even with a steady flow of customers. You can tell they take pride in what they do. Keyport Fishery is the kind of place that doesn’t try to be anything it’s not—and that’s exactly what makes it worth visiting. If you’re after fresh, well-prepared fried seafood served simply and done right, this spot delivers every time.

Keyport is a favorite place of mine. I've seen this fishery many times, so I decided to try it. It's a cute place, bigger on the inside than from what it looks on the outside. Ample parking as well. I ordered the shrimp platter. The batter was just right! The fries were GOOD!!! They were perfectly crisp AND served hot. All in all, it's a really good meal. Big portion for the price. I'm looking forward to returning!!!

A neighbor suggested this spot with high praise and we decided to it. We went here on a Saturday for lunch. They only do take out. On days when the weather is good you can grab a box and sit outside too. There is plenty of parking available and the place was packed, some ordering takeout and some placing their Christmas orders. The line moves fast and the place is cash only I believe ( i could be wrong on that ). We got the combo platter, fried snow crab, 1/4 pound of the scallops and a spicy Louisiana crab soup. The shrimp, scallop and the soup were my personal favorites. The service is pleasant and fast. The food is made fresh and comes out fast. I will be definitely coming back again!

I ordered some crabs and they were great. Miguel even cleaned them for me, which I really appreciated. I had a very enjoyable experience there and the workers were all very nice. I’ll definitely keep going back. The fish was very fresh and the cooking was excellent. When you call other places they always seem to have some excuse, but this place actually has what you need and delivers.

Good friends of ours who have been coming here for years took us for the first time and my husband and i loved it!! The seafood is so fresh and delicious, we got the shrimp and scallop platter. Wish there were places to sit, but you can always go down to the harbor and grab a bench. The line looks long but moves fast. Can’t wait to eat here again!

My favorite place to get fish & chips ! They only accept cash and are usually super busy on the weekends. The food is consistent every time I go and their portions are huge !
