A real traditional fresh seafood market and whose owner Michael is a real true gentleman and expert. Very friendly and most importantly his seafood choices are fresh and high quality.

Unlike a bad experience at a local bakery in Summit on Wednesday before Thanksgiving , Michael offered best in quality and consumer experience.
My consumer faith has again been restored by Michael.
We purchased the local sea scallops and also added wild shrimp which we made with a fantastic spaghetti white wine EVOO garlic and butter sauce.

This fresh seafood market is the real deal and well worth the over 20 minute drive.

We plan and returning and I strongly recommend that everyone else do the same.

Definitely a Christmas Eve shopping preferred shop!

Thank you Michael we appreciate your empathy and kindness!

God Bless you!

Our first time to Archar was last year when we tried their large blue crabs. They were plump, juicy, delicious! We knew we had a winner winner chicken dinner for when we take our yearly road trip up to NJ from Florida. Fast forward to this October when we couldn't wait to go back for more yummy crabs. You walk into Archar and they treat you like family. We ordered lobsters too this year and boy oh boy! Maine's got nothing on these Canadian lobsters, some of the best I've ever had! Thanks Mike, see you next year!

I was going to go to Newark, but I remembered that there was a hidden gem in Somerset. Boy am I glad that I did! Everything about this place is awesome. From the owner and employees, to the product, and even the customers. This will now be my go to for anything seafood related. Now let me go finish my crabs!

"Where everyone knows your name!"

Isn't that where we all want to be, that place where everyone knows your name? Well since Sammy shut done Cheers, let me tell you that place is now Archar Seafood. I've never though of the seafood market as a place where you'd have a few laughs, get some really great service, get to meet a few new friends, and get a few compliments along the way. I mean, this is a seafood market after all!

First let's get the facts out of the way. The seafood is frreeeeesh! I had some oysters shucked for my drive home and dammit, that made me happy. These oysters were so crisp, just the right amount of salinity, nicely shucked and did I mention fresh? I also got a thick cut of fresh tuna that I simply peppered and seared that was OUTSTANDING! Mike the owner also gave me some complimentary fresh shrimp that was just delicious broiled with butter and scallions. Mike, if you are reading this, I snapped a picture for you before I ate them to let you know I did you proud with your generosity!

This was my first visit and that being the case I took a few extra minutes to survey the offerings. While doing so, there was no shortage of customers, voicing for their offerings and providing great insights. For me, that definitely speaks volumes about how a business is run if random customers will vouch for and speak up for a merchant like so. BTW, I got the hint, next time, definitely getting some crabs! Now having said that, I saw firsthand why other customers were so quick to vouch for Mike and Frank. I've never shook hands with my seafood guy more in less time. This guy Mike is like my new best friend. I've never had so much fun buying seafood before between the playful banter/jokes/stories with random folks and the complimentary nature of Mike. Everyone that walks in is on a first name basis with Mike it seems!

If I lived closer, I'd be here every week but I'll definitely be back again! Mike, if you are reading this, you sir are the classy gentleman. Stay fresh in Somerset!

Best fresh fish and crabs in the area! Mike is wonderful! We got HUGE blue claws 2 weeks ago! We also got little neck clams last weekend! All of it was fresh and juicy, the crabs were full and delicious! Always the best!

Great seafood!! Fresh sashimi grades!! Nowledeable and friendly service!! I would highly recommend.

Archar is our 40 yr local seafood store. It's easily located from surrounding towns Piscataway, New Brunswick, Franklin, Somerville to name of a few.
The friendly servers always pleased to see you even if it's your first time.
They have a variety of seafood readily available with great market pricing.
I ordered crab legs, cod, Salmon, scallops, and clams. I couldn't wait to get home. You can't beat freshness!! My family and I enjoyed every delicious bite. Can't wait to go back!

Went here for the first time for sushi grade salmon and tuna and was not disappointed!! Very helpful staff and delicious sashimi!! Definitely coming back here for the freshest of fish!

In this world, it's very difficult to find any wonderful & friendly services!! Well, you will find that here in Archar Seafood. My husband Darren is a true foodie, and I'm very lucky to have him because he's also a great cook who always looks for fresh ingredients to prepare family meals. He found this place from the trusty yelps and we went on a 30 minutes ride to locate this place.
Now, honestly it was not a easy place to find but once you found it and got inside the store... it's Amazing! Fresh fishes, crabs, muscles, clams and made to order lobsters. We arrived when the store just opened. Michael came out greeted us, and was very nice to help us with the order. Soon afterward, a line started forming and he greeted every each one of them.
Next day when I picked up our order, they all look incredibly fresh! Michael gave me a bag of ice and helped me to carry them out to my car. 2 days later he called to ensure we have a great family seafood dinner. What a wonderful customer service!! And with freshest , great quality seafood.
Highly recommend you to check out this place.
