Seafood, In or Out

Here are some seafood markets/restaurants our food editor Rosalie Saferstein has found where you can have a casual fish dinner or purchase fish to cook at home.

AT THE MARKET, NUTLEY — Eat there or buy your favorite fish and learn how to cook it at Saturday morning classes in this newly opened establishment. We’re partial to the simply grilled Mediterranean style with three-grain pilaf and roasted vegetables or the Caribbean with mango and black bean salsa. An early bird three-course dinner is $12.95. Side dishes are also available for take-out. BYO

CALDWELL SEAFOOD MARKET & CAFÉ, CALDWELL (973-226-2031) — We love the red or white clam chowder, garlic shrimp, or halibut prepared any way. The fish is brought in daily from the Fulton Fish Market. BYO

KLEIN’S FISH MARKET, BELMAR — Park your boat, sit on the dock, and dine on anything from sushi to fish stews. Family owned and operated since 1929, this Shore institution opens daily at 8 a.m. and has a wide selection of fish to purchase. Check out the early bird cocktail or dinner menu.

THE LOBSTER HOUSE, CAPE MAY — A restaurant, raw bar, take- out, fish market, gift shop, and a view of the harbor where you watch the boats unload their catch. The fish market will pack your purchase in ice for traveling.

MARINOS SEAFOOD MARKET & RESTAURANT, CRANFORD (908-276-1333) — This busy market serves lunch and dinner and fish so fresh it will bite you. Try any of the seafood platters or the combo with haddock, shrimp, and scallops. They come with tossed salad (we love the homemade blue cheese dressing), coleslaw, choice of linguine, vegetable, fries, or baked potato. BYO
