Dockside Dave’s Seafood Market

We’ve owned homes in both Cape Cod and Cape May, and sampled many styles of crab cakes and NE clam chowder. We’ve been extremely thrilled by both dishes at Dockside Daves, and would rate them at the top of everything we’ve tried elsewhere. The lobster roll and fried fish sandwich were great too. Highly recommend you visit their store!

I sort of hate myself for not finding this earlier in the summer. Stopped here today and had a great lunch with my wife. The New England Clam Chowder is second to none. Probably one of the best I’ve ever had. Nice and thick, no short cuts taken.

The fish sandwich wasn’t greasy like most fried fish sandwiches, it had a nice crust on it. I actually tossed the roll (which was fine) and ripped into the fish. It was great. The Lobster Roll was amazingly large, again like just a few places left anymore where you really get what you pay for. Staff is pleasant, and I’m looking forward to grabbing fish to grill at home. Great little market, highly recommend.

Great lobster roll and fried calamari. Super friendly staff. It’s definitely a hidden gem

Great addition to Cape May ! Super fresh local fish at the counter, with lots of delicious lunch options to choose from. Bonus little farm stand inside with some fresh fruits and veggies, provisions like fresh made bruschetta, seaweed salad, mango salad, chips and pretzels, sauces, desserts, etc.
They were super accommodating when I said I needed lobster salad to make some “semi-homemade” rolls at home, priced it out for me by the pound, with rolls and lemons from the indoor farm stand. Grabbed a variety of different chips and was on my way! The family loved the lobster rolls, huge chunks of fresh juicy lobster meat lightly dressed.
Very friendly, family owned and operated team.
We will definitely be back to try more of their staple sandwiches to bring to the beach!
