The Keyport Fishery is a historic seafood eatery located in downtown Keyport, NJ. Our famous seafood platters come with french fries, homemade coleslaw, homemade tartar sauce, lemon and 3/4 to 1 lb of whatever fish you would like. Our fish sandwiches make for the perfect lunch. All of our soup is homemade and loaded with fresh seafood. We also offer Manhattan Clam Chowder "the red", New England Clam Chowder "the white", or our one and only New Orleans Shrimp and Scallop soup.

Food is delicious. Gentleman at the counter have a running joke about my initials being LL..(they call your food by your initials). We're both 80s kids. So I either end up being Lisa Lisa or LL Cool J. Lol
Glad I find some place to go for seafood since I moved to the area.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Sep 17, 2023
Fried food has a bad rap but it's so satisfying to eat ! This is a to cash only place and they serve fresh fried everything seafood .
Walk in to a rather small fishy smelling storefront that was l packed , look up their long menu displayed and order your meal .
We went easy and ordered the Louisiana crab soup and shrimp & Scallop meal with fries and coleslaw . Not very crispy yet golfers fried goodness with toast inside sweet form the natural flavor of scallops and shrimp . Side of cri kept cut fries wasn't crispy as expected but it was still good . The tartar sauce and coleslaw were top of line traditional simple No frills attached ! The soup was a tomato broth based and has no seafood smell but good crab chunks and flavor.
You have to take your meal to your car and eat which is the only challenge( if you see it that way )! We were aware and were ok with eating in our car with a lovely view of the waterfront on a warm day . Perfect setting for a non greasy fried meal .
The inside wasn't very appealing but they are not marketing their place as anything fancy so it's perfectly ok. It's self service and food is ready fast so no complaints there either .
Good fried seafood at affordable prices and fresh catch to take home is their offering . I would recommend this to anyone who is up for the adventure.Helpful 0Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0 - Michael P.NJ, NJ04Mar 21, 2024
Great food, service is takeout only but polite and helpful, ambiance, well they are on a backed up to a smelly canal next to ocean but the seagulls are friendly
Once again Great Food alwaysHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 13411482Sep 9, 2023
Great fresh seafood with amazing tartar sauce. Great Cole slaw. The sandwiches are simple and delightful. Fried clams and oysters are a classic and they do it right.
Bring cash!
Take home filets to bake, grill, or smoke how you want them. I suggest the clams on a grill until just opened and then dipped in hot garlic butter.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - J M.Montclair, NJ05Feb 5, 2024
Excellent food and plenty of it on the platters. Wait time was short, staff was very pleasant Would prefer home made coleslaw....
Ate across the street next to Raritan Bay....
PS..... watch out for the swarm of 50 seagulls swooping down trying to steal your food ...Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Dee P.The Bronx, The Bronx, NY02944Jan 30, 2024

I have been going to Keyport Fishery since the mid-60s. And my Dad went there an entire generation before. It is so good, words can't describe.
This place is a Jersey gem, a kind of local secret, it is so good. When you try to describe how good it is, it is hard, because folks will think you are exaggerating. I have eaten fish in some very fancy restaurants. Keyport Fishery is not only as good, not only better, but is simply the best fish I have ever had.
The scallops are a must. You can start with the combo platter.
Just go. Just try one scallop. You will be hooked...for life!
Oh, it is all take-out. Do what the locals do. We park in the parking lot across the street and eat the treasure, sitting right on the bay!
This place has been there since 1930 or something. There is a reason...Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - A M.Mendham Township, NJ011Feb 5, 2024
