Sea Lect Seafood

We came in for lunch and wow, are we glad we did! We usually get take out seafood and cook at home, but today, we decided to eat in. I had the cream of asparagus crab soup, which was absolutely delicious. It was creamy with chunks of asparagus and a TON of crab. Mmmm. We shared the coconut shrimp and clams casino, which we usually get take out (they are great for hors d’oeuvres when guests come over), and theu were, as always, great (especially the orange dipping sauce for the shrimp). I had the broiled seafood trio (lunch size) which had a nice piece of flounder, 2 shrimp, and 2 large scallops. All were perfectly cooked and lightly but flavorfully seasoned — I didn’t touch the tartar or cocktail sauces. It comes with 2 sides and I chose the macaroni salad and zucchini, which was sauteed and seasoned and a really nice compliment to the seafood. I loved it. My bf tried the catfish, which he has never had before, and he raved about it! I tried it and it was really good. It wasn’t fishy at all and had a cajun seasoning and crab meat on top in a tomato sauce. He had corn and zucchini as sides and the spicy crab soup, which I also tried and was very tasty. The service is great; the young lady (I think her name is Jenni,) working both the counter and restaurant was friendly, attentive and knew the product well. We are glad we walked here, because we need some exercise after such a great meal.

Nice little store. Has fresh fish, and about 5 – 6 small tables to sit and eat. I’m kinda hooked (no pun) on their fried stuffed shrimp. There pretty amazing. Have yet to try anything else. Got buttered corn with it, but it was kinda overcooked and greasy. And a grilled potato which was ok. Definitely will be back for more stuffed shrimp.

Had lunch here today and it was absolutely fantastic. Yep, it’s a little hole in the wall in Maple Shade but the food was even better than the high priced top line seafood restaurant my girlfriend took me to for my birthday last weekend! I had the spicy crab soup to start and it was FULL of fresh crabmeat, not just a hint of crab like so many places would give you. My entrée was the seafood combo which I had done with a spicy white sauce heavy on the garlic and red pepper. It was also fantastic. Seafood was fresh and perfectly seasoned. The best part is the price! Even for dinner this place is far less expensive than most other seafood restaurants of this type of quality. Can’t wait to go back. It’s a little far to pick up for lunch but for this food and these prices I’ll make the trek. Outstanding!

Great seafood all year round.
The dining area is small, but the quality of the food far outweighs the size of the seating area.
Some of the best salmon that I can find in the SNJ area.
UPDATE 2015-​06-​06: The portions have reduced in size, and the prices have increased dramatically, not in line with other seafood purveyors.

Upsides: Spicy crab soup is excellent as was tortilla crusted tilapia. Atmosphere is casual — has a «down the shore» feel. Good prices for homemade seafood. Fresh seafood in the case looked super; better than the grocery store for sure.
Downsides: strong aroma of frying fish, lots of thru-​traffic from takeout & fish market customers. Flounder was a little too «fishy».

My husband and I love this place! Our faves are the new england clam chowder (amazing), shrimp cocktail, oysters on the half shell, fried flounder (enormous portion), and the snow crab legs. All of the seafood is always so fresh and we like that we can either dine in or do take out. And everything in the seafood counter looks so delicious! Great place for any kind of fish/​seafood!

This is my absolute favorite place to get seafood! They have a HUGE selection as well as fresh daily specials. You can dine in or purchase most of their menu uncooked to prepare at home. Their portions are large and if you go during lunch, the prices are extremely reasonable.
Some of my favorite dishes are the popcorn shrimp, seafood bisque, pasta with shrimp and crabmeat topped with alfredo, and the crabmeat stuffed shrimp.
Only giving 4 stars because it closes early, and the crabcakes aren’t as good as they could be but I’m a born and raised Marylander so I might be biased ;)

We bought a groupon for the prepared meal for 4 here. We got crab cakes, lobster tails, fried shrimp, seafood bisque, and 2 sides.
Fried shrimp was excellent… so was the seafood bisque. The crab macaroni and cheese was AWESOME.
I would have given it 5 stars, however the crab cakes were undercooked and the lobster tails were overcooked. The seafood in the case looked incredibly fresh so if you get any, I’d recommend cooking it yourself at home instead of having them cook it there.

This place has the absolutely freshest fish around!!! They always have a wide selection of fresh fish (including sushi grade ahi). I just had their spicy crab soup (homemade) yesterday. It was ridiculously good. All of their soups are banging’ to tell you the truth. The lunch menu is very good and they have an extensive take out menu. I highly recommend this place!

Delicious fish and salmon cakes. A bit greasy. Recommended.
