Cape May’s coastal setting makes seafood a natural part of a visit. Menus and daily catches change with the season. Ask a restaurant or fish market what arrived that day, where it was landed, and how it is prepared.
For a simple meal, choose a preparation that lets the fish or shellfish shine: grilled, steamed, or served with seasonal vegetables. Check current hours and reservations before traveling, especially outside the summer season. Seafood availability and prices can change quickly.
