First time here after hearing good things. Some off the best seafood I have ever had. The staff were all extremely nice and many of the customers were greeted like part of the family. Will definitely be going back again and again. Got the Full Monte meal and was only able to finish half.

Restaurant just open and I decided to do take out. Food was freshly prepared. The lobster mac and cheese was creamy, tasty and delicious with an ample amount of lobster. The CT lobster roll was just as good and served with cole slaw. The restaurant itself is nicely appointed and they fill a need in the area.

Very delicious food! Got a little packed when we got there so service was a little slower than expected, but completely understandable. Definitely recommend this place. The lobster Mac and cheese was amazing and the oysters were very fresh.

Location

Welcome to Monte's Fish Fry, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Toms River, New Jersey. Located at 2119 Whitesville Rd, this seafood market specializes in delivering the freshest and most delectable seafood delights to its patrons. Whether you're in the mood for a family outing or a casual lunch with friends, Monte's Fish Fry has you covered with outdoor seating options and a kids-friendly atmosphere.

One of the standout features of Monte's Fish Fry is their remarkable selection of soups. I highly recommend starting your meal with their New England Clam Chowder, affectionately dubbed "The White Stuff." This hearty concoction brims with clams, potatoes, and onions, all enveloped in a rich cream base that warms both the heart and the soul. If you prefer a tangier twist, opt for the Manhattan Clam Chowder, "The Red Stuff," which harmoniously combines clams, tomatoes, and the usual suspects in a zesty broth.

For those seeking a light yet satisfying appetizer, the Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail is a must-try. Five large, succulent shrimp are served chilled with cocktail sauce and lemon, providing a refreshing start to your seafood feast. Alternatively, the Raw Bar Sampler lets you indulge in a variety of ocean flavors with three shucked oysters, five little neck clams, and five jumbo shrimp served on a bed of ice—perfect for a shared experience. If you're feeling adventurous, don't miss the Clams on Half Dozen, shucked to order, and a delight for any seafood lover.

When it comes to hot appetizers, Monte's offers a selection that does not disappoint. The Dozen Steamed Clams are an absolute treat, steamed to perfection and served with drawn butter that enhances their fresh flavor. The Fried Calamari is another delight—golden fried and accompanied by a zesty marinara. But if you want something with a little kick, the Sweet Heat Shrimp delivers a crunchy, spicy sensation that keeps you coming back for more.

Monte's Fish Fry not only captures the essence of seafood dining with its rich selections and vibrant flavors, but it also embodies a true sense of community. With takeout service available, you can enjoy these oceanic delights in the comfort of your home. Whether you come for the soups, appetizers, or the joyful ambiance, Monte's Fish Fry will leave you with a satisfied palate and a smile on your face.
