Captain Obadiah's Seafood Market

My wife and I make an almost annual pilgrimage to Ocean City NJ right after Labor Day. Our first stop to eat, despite everything available in OC, is the seafood market of Obadiah. We love this place! And unlike some recent guests obviously, we LOVE Manager / Koch, John. Whether you only want shells on the half shell, the amazing lobster bisque or a complete dinner, it's all great. Hopefully you enjoy as much as we do!

I was here today (Thursday, 22. June 2017 and I have to RAVE about this place!!! I was never there and a friend told me about it, so I didn't miss bringing a friend with me for her birthday. She said how bad she wanted Hard Shelled Crabs. THE FOOD WAS AMAZING!!! we ordered Lobster Bisque soup and a Crab soup...WOW!!!!!!!!! Then we ordered Crab-Fries and Mushrooms filled with Crabmeat...To Die for Delish!!! And now to the HARD SHELLED CRABS... The best GARLIC and OLD BAY CRABS I EVER ATE!!!! The food was sooo good that I brought home a dozen Crabs and more soup!!! I can't wait to go again and again!!! Service was GREAT!!!! It was a great day to eat crabs outside!

Wow. Amazing meal of crabcakes and clams prepared to perfection. They can mix up a good drink too! Super friendly service. Little more expensive than some other nearby options, but easily worth the extra cost. Pick high quality.

The lobster bisque changes. Everything is fresh and delicious. It has to stop when you're in the ocean city.

This is one of the favorite spots!! We count the days when they open the day they close for winter. Thin seafood is absolutely the best. Such fresh quality is rare to find and boy I am glad we came across this place. Customer service is also a big A!! I can assure you that you will be happy that you have done it.
