This Iconic Cape May County Seafood Spot Named Best in New Jersey

This Iconic Cape May County Mom-and-Pop Restaurant was just named the best seafood spot in New Jersey.

NJ.com recently named the Best 25 Seafood Restaurants in the Garden State, with multiple Southern Jersey locations making the list, but one in North Wildwood took the top spot.

A Jersey Shore Tradition Since 1985

If you’re heading down to Wildwood this summer, you might want to pull over at Rick's Seafood off Exit 6 in North Wildwood — an old‑school family‑run spot that’s been doing its thing since 1985.

Tucked right at 435 West Spruce St, this spot feels like a slice of Jersey Shore history: an unassuming spot, with friendly faces that have you coming back again and again.
