Blue Claw Seafood Market

Blue Claw Seafood Market sells fresh fish and shellfish in Surf City, with live and cooked crabs and lobsters, sushi-grade sea scallops, wild caught shrimp and a range of homemade items. The counter carries a wide mix of fish, from tuna and fluke to swordfish and mahi, along with clams, mussels, oysters and frozen king and snow crab.

The shop keeps a live lobster tank, and lobsters are sold by size, with larger ones available if you call ahead. Homemade crab cakes, crab imperial, chowder and key lime pie are made in-house, and the key lime pies sell out quickly. The market also stocks sauces, seafood tools like crab mallets and lobster crackers, and ready-to-serve salads. It is open Wednesday through Monday from 10 am, and it sits on Long Beach Boulevard on Long Beach Island.
