No meal is more fitting at the Jersey Shore than some solid seafood.

And we're so lucky to live in a state that is known for its out-of-this-world seafood and amazing options for places to go.

It helps that the ocean is a mere stone's throw away so our seafood is as fresh as fresh can get.

When I'm really jonesing for some good seafood there are two places I like to go.

One of course is the Crabs Claw, the stuffed flounder is always a great choice.

The other spot is a bit of a drive, but so worth it for so many reasons.

The Fish Market at the Lobster House in Cape May.

You order your fried fish and crabs at a large counter, and then grab a seat on the dock out behind the restaurant and watch boats park while you enjoy your food.

That place is a little bit of a hike from us here in Ocean County, so we don't get there too often.

But if you don't mind a drive, and you love seafood then checking out Jersey's best rural seafood restaurant is going to be right up your alley.
