Caldwell Seafood Market Cafe

Enjoyable, deliberate dinner for three of us. Unpretentious decor. If alcohol is desired, byo. We had new england clam chowder, french fries, scungilli salad, linguini with clams, and steamers. All good. Highly recommended.

The cod from fish and chips tasted fresh and good. Tartar sauce would have been better without any pickle, or at least, way less pickle. We also took clams and mussels which could have used much more salt in the sauce, didn’t taste as fresh, though.

Was going to visit the place next door, but I saw this place and the packed tables so I went in. Boy was I glad! It's a fish market turned restaurant, full of locals who love seafood. It's similar concept to the place in Maywood. BYOB, white table cloth (nice), with a casual feel. Food was well done, and flavorful. I always know by the way kitchen does their whole fish if you they are any good. The Bronzino I got was crisped to near perfect whole skin goodness. Juicy throughout and fresh enough to taste the good waters of Greece (Anthony explained that this was the one fish he gets imported). Just delightful. Next time, have chopsticks ready Anthony (it's easier to eat fish with chopsticks). The side of broccoli rabe was well done. We also got mixed seafood grill which was very tasty. Grilled octopus appetizer was nice. For two of us, we could have ordered less. Lots of food. It's a good comfy neighborhood seafood place that serves great seafood near nyc quality. Prices were reasonable for what we got. We will be back. Support your local businesses!

Food is amazing and super flavorful.. this restaurant was highly recommended by world's greatest Sheriff ..

5 stars for food and service. Maybe 3 1/2 stars for value on the Fried seafood platter... but even though the platter was a little expensive for the amount of food, it was *excellent*. Calamari with Fra Diavolo sauce was super. Tender, fresh, seasoned and the sauce was actually spicy. Portion on calamari was very nice. Fried seafood platter was absolutely delicious, just a little weak on the quantity. 2 stellar, giant shrimp, 1 amazing scallop and 2 very small pieces of very tasty breaded fried fish fish (breaded not battered). Every thing we ate was fantastic (literally everything even the slaw was fresh and delicious). Just wish there was a little more of the seafood platter. Service was friendly and very prompt at lunch. We will definitely be back here.
